Reviews

How ratings work — and how they affect provider rankings.

How do I leave a review?

After you confirm a booking is complete, a review card appears on your booking page. Pick 1–5 stars (tap, don't slide) and optionally add a comment. Hit Post review and you're done.

You can come back any time and update the review — the rating + comment fields will be pre-filled with what you posted before.

Why can't I leave a review yet?

Reviews are only available once a booking has been marked completed by the provider AND confirmed by you. If the work is still in progress, or the booking was cancelled / declined, the review card won't show.

Why does my rating matter so much for providers?

Provider rankings on Near-U are driven primarily by completed-job count and secondarily by average rating. A 5-star provider with 100 jobs ranks above a 5-star provider with 10 jobs — but a 3.8-star provider with 200 jobs ranks below a 4.7-star provider with 80 jobs.

Providers whose rating drops below 4.0 disappear from default search until they recover. That's why even a polite, honest critical review really helps the next customer.

We use cookies to make Near-U work

Some are essential (your login, your basket of bookings). Others — analytics and marketing — only run if you say yes. Read our privacy policy for the full story.

Privacy Preference Center

When you visit Near-U, we may store small files (cookies) on your device. Some are needed to make the site work — like keeping you signed in. Others are optional and help us understand what's working or show you Near-U on other sites. You decide which optional ones run, and you can change your mind any time from the footer of any page.

These cookies are required for Near-U to work. They keep you signed in, hold your CSRF security token, remember the consent choice you're making right now, and let the site serve pages in the right language. The site can't run without them, so they can't be switched off.

Remember the small things that make the site feel like yours — your shared GPS location for distance checks, the tab you last opened in your account page, recent search queries, and which providers you've viewed. The site still works without these, but you'll have to share your location again on every visit.

Help us see how Near-U is being used — which pages people visit, which searches succeed, where errors happen. All data is anonymous and aggregated. We use this to fix bugs and improve flows that confuse people. Currently includes: Google Analytics (when enabled).

Let us show you Near-U adverts on other sites (Facebook, Instagram, Google) and measure whether those adverts brought you back. We may also use these to retarget you if you started a booking but didn't finish. Currently includes: Meta Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking (when enabled).
