Choosing a tailor
How to Read Tailor Reviews (and Spot Fake Ones)
Question answered: “Can I trust Google/TripAdvisor reviews for Bangkok tailors?”
By Tony Ram, Second-generation owner, Peninsula Bespoke Tailor · Updated
Tailor reviews are useful if you read them carefully. Trust reviews that mention specific garments, fabrics, fittings and how the clothes held up later. Be wary of many short five-star reviews posted in a burst, reviews that all use similar wording, and reviewers with no other history. Read the negative reviews and the owner's replies too.
What makes a review trustworthy?
- Names the garment and fabric
- Mentions fittings and timing
- Says how it fits months later
- Comes from a reviewer with other reviews
- Includes real photos
What are signs of fake reviews?
- Many reviews on the same day
- Similar wording across reviews
- Very short reviews with no detail
- Profiles with only one review
Where can I read Peninsula's reviews?
Search 'Peninsula Bespoke Tailor' on Google Maps to read our reviews and our replies.
