Reputation & Reviews
13.5 / 20

| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 15 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 1 one-star. The buckets sum to 16, matching the 16 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.750 reproduces the published 4.8. [gmp1] | 4/6 |
