Authenticity first
Every place on Placemarks is recommended by someone who has actually been there. We don't scrape data or auto-generate listings.
No pay-to-play
Rankings are based on genuine reviews and ratings. Businesses can claim their listing, but they can't buy a higher position.
Community-driven
Our contributors earn points, unlock tiers, and build trust scores. The community self-moderates through a transparent trust system.
Local focus
We're built for the UK — from hidden cafes in small villages to well-loved restaurants in major cities. Every corner of the country matters.
All reviews and place descriptions pass through automated content moderation. Contributors build trust scores over time based on the quality and consistency of their contributions. Businesses can claim their listing and respond to reviews, but they cannot alter ratings or remove genuine feedback. Our goal is an honest, useful resource for everyone.
Help us build the most honest guide to the UK. It's free, takes 30 seconds, and your first recommendation earns you 10 points.
