How Ghosla verifies reviews

How it works

1. You writeRate the institution and share what it’s really like.
2. We verify youA one-time code to your email confirms it’s really you. We may also call to confirm.
3. Our team checks itFor genuineness, conflicts of interest and our guidelines.
4. It goes livePublished with a “Verified review” badge. The institution can reply, not remove it.

Who can write a review

Parents of current or former students, alumni, and college students — all aged 18 or older. School students are usually under 18, so for schools we take reviews from parents and adult alumni. You can review each institution once and update your review later as things change.

Who can’t

Owners, trustees, teachers and staff of the institution, their relatives, competitors, and anyone offered money, discounts or gifts to write a review.

What we check

• The reviewer’s email (one-time code) and, where needed, a short call
• The connection to the institution and the years
• Duplicate or coordinated reviews, and conflicts of interest
• That the text follows these guidelines

What we don’t publish

• Names or photos of children, teachers or staff
• Phone numbers, emails, addresses or links
• Abuse, hate speech, threats or discrimination
• Claims about a crime — please report these to the authorities
• Anything paid for or written in exchange for a benefit

Institutions

An institution can post one public reply to each review from its Ghosla account. It cannot edit, hide or remove a review, and can’t pay for higher ratings — reviews never change the order of rankings on Ghosla.

If an institution believes a review breaks these guidelines, it can report it. Our team re-checks it and decides; the reviewer may be asked for more information.

Your data

Your name, email and phone are used only to verify your review. They are never shown publicly or shared with the institution. You can ask us to edit or delete your review, or your data, at any time from Your data rights.
