How We Make Reviews at BestinDublin.ie
At BestinDublin.ie, our goal is simple: to help you find the top services, experiences, and businesses across Dublin—without the guesswork.
Whether you’re searching for the best web designers in town, a reliable local plumber, or a new fitness studio that actually delivers results, we’re here to make that decision easier by doing the homework for you.
Our reviews aren’t automated or based solely on star ratings—they’re researched, written, and fact-checked by real people who know Dublin and care about quality. Here’s how we decide who makes it onto our “Best in Dublin” lists.
1. What is the Business Trying to Be the Best At?
Every great business is built to solve a specific problem—whether it’s getting you fit, fixing your boiler, building a website, or serving the best brunch in town. We start by looking at what the company claims to do and what kind of experience they promise their customers.
We ask:
- What is their core service or product?
- Are they aiming to be “the fastest,” “the friendliest,” “the most affordable,” or “the most premium”?
- Do they live up to their own pitch?
2. What Makes Them Stand Out?
Not every business that claims to be the best, is. So we dig deeper. We look for unique offerings, exceptional service, or stand-out features that set one business apart from the rest.
We consider:
- What’s included in their service or product?
- Are they offering something others aren’t?
- Do they go the extra mile—like out-of-hours support, free consultations, or personalised service?
3. Does It Actually Work?
Flashy websites and clever slogans don’t mean much unless the business can deliver. We look at how well the service or product performs in real life and whether it delivers good value for money.
We assess:
- Efficiency, quality, and professionalism
- Whether the business meets (or exceeds) expectations
- The full customer journey—from first contact to after-sales support
4. What Do Real Customers Say?
We place a strong emphasis on real-world feedback. We read dozens (sometimes hundreds) of verified reviews across platforms like Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot, and we even speak with customers when possible to get a genuine sense of what people love—and what could be better.
We ask:
- Are there consistent patterns in the praise or criticism?
- Is the service reliable over time?
- Do people keep coming back?
5. Would We Recommend It Ourselves?
We only feature businesses we would happily recommend to a friend—or use ourselves. If we wouldn’t spend our own money there, it doesn’t make the cut. It’s that simple.
Our goal is to feature companies that consistently deliver great service and genuinely care about their customers—businesses that make life in Dublin better.
