1. Our Standard
Tripzify exists to help people discover real places and plan authentic travel experiences. Every piece of content on the platform should serve that purpose. If it doesn't help a traveller — it doesn't belong here.
2. Submitting Places
What makes a good place submission
- Accurate name, location, and category
- A clear, informative description based on real knowledge
- Correct city, state, and country details
- Helpful travel tips, opening hours, and entry fees where applicable
- At least one relevant, high-quality photo
Place submissions that will be rejected
- Places with inaccurate or fabricated location details
- Duplicate listings of places already on the platform
- Businesses submitted purely for promotional or advertising purposes
- Places that do not exist or cannot be visited
- Submissions with irrelevant or misleading category selections
3. Writing Reviews
Good reviews
- Are based on a genuine personal visit or direct experience
- Give specific, useful details about what to expect
- Are honest — both positive and constructive feedback are welcome
- Are respectful in tone, even when critical
Reviews that will be removed
- Fake reviews — reviews written without actually visiting the place
- Spam — repeated, copied, or irrelevant reviews
- Promotional content — reviews that read like advertisements
- Personal attacks — targeting staff, owners, or other users personally
- Off-topic content — reviews unrelated to the travel experience
4. Photos & Images
- Photos must be taken at the actual place being submitted or reviewed
- You must own or have the rights to any photo you upload
- Photos must be clear, relevant, and representative of the location
