Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Lovely morning spent at the museum. Staff so helpful and informative. Special thanks to Parvinder who spent time talking to us about the Singh Twins and their piece of artwork.

    An important Social History Lesson, but fun at the same time. It was very well laid out and aimed at children as well as adults. There was a variety of ways to interact with the material. I found it thought provoking and very enjoyable. The staff were a joy also, as was the coffee shop

    I've been many, many times and love not only the history of the place but the extremely warm welcome from the very knowledgeable volunteers. It's a great place to have lunch and Pauline's cakes are second to none. Looking forward to many more visits.
