Verified reviews,
without exposing you.
Published reviews pass moderation. Tenancy verification is a separate check, shown with a verified badge. Here's how it works, step by step.
The process
— three steps, in orderYour review is public. Your proof is private.
Moderation and tenancy verification are separate checks. A published review receives a verified badge only when its tenancy is verified.
Privacy demonstration · not a real document
Tenancy document · illustration

You prove tenancy
Upload an Ejari contract, DEWA bill, or rental receipt. We check the address and dates against the building.
- 02.
We strip your identity
Your tenancy proof stays private. Public reviews do not expose your email, name or verification document. See our privacy policy for retention and deletion details.
- 03.
We review every review
We run automated moderation for obvious policy breaches, and a real person reads every review before it goes live. Reviews that need clarification get sent back to the author.
What counts as proof
— any one of these is enoughEjari contract
The official Dubai tenancy contract is the strongest proof of residency.
DEWA bill
A utility bill in your name at the property address works equally well.
Rental receipts
Dated payments to the landlord that establish the tenancy.
