Reviews

Reviews from people who were actually in the room

Every studio describes itself well. The useful information comes from whoever booked it last — how the room really sounds, whether load-in is a nightmare, whether the engineer was on time. That is what reviews are for, and why owners cannot delete them.

“Great room and the drum sound was exactly what we wanted. Load-in was harder than we expected though — no lift, and we had a lot of gear.”

Owner reply

“Fair. The alley entrance is the only way in, so we now send a load-in guide with every confirmation and there is a trolley on site. Thanks Ruth.”

Criticism stays up. That is the point.

A studio owner cannot remove a review because they dislike it. They can reply to it publicly, and that reply sits underneath for everyone to read.

What does get removed is abuse, spam and anything fake — every review passes moderation before it publishes. A directory where owners can quietly delete criticism is worth nothing to the person deciding where to spend a day's budget.

  • Moderated before publishing, not after complaints
  • Owners can reply publicly but cannot delete
  • Ratings feed the studio's overall score and its search result
  • Abuse, spam and fakes removed

Read the reply, not just the stars

A three-star review with a straight, useful answer from the owner tells you more about a studio than a page of five-star ratings with no replies.

It shows you how they handle a problem — which is the thing you actually want to know before you are mid-session with one.

Leave one when you are done

After a session you can review the studio from your account: a rating, a title and as much detail as you want to give.

It goes through the same moderation as everybody else's, then appears on the listing and counts toward that studio's score. It is the part of the directory that only artists can write.

Questions artists ask

Can a studio pay to have a bad review removed?
No. Owners cannot delete reviews at any plan level, and there is no mechanism to buy their removal. They can reply publicly. Reviews are only removed if they are abusive, spam or fake.
Do I have to have booked through Legacy to leave a review?
No, but you do need an account, and every review is moderated before it appears.
Do reviews affect where a studio appears?
Yes. A studio's rating is one of the signals used to order the finder, and it feeds the star rating that can show on its search result.
