Hellopeter’s latest update makes reviews more reflective of recent experiences.
From 14 November 2025, star ratings now focus on reviews from the past 12 months, giving South Africans more accurate, up-to-date insights into the businesses they trust.
Ever looked at a business’s profile on hellopeter.com and thought, “Hmm…is this still accurate?”
Businesses evolve. They might get new teams, ownership, or leadership; streamline their services; or improve their products (and sometimes, the opposite). As important as it is for businesses to continually collect new reviews, it’s just as vital for recency to be considered when calculating the key metrics on a business’s Hellopeter profile.
That’s why we’ve made some updates to ensure you get the most accurate and up-to-date picture of what to expect from any business you’re researching.
As of 14 November 2025, we’re updating how reviews are displayed to help you get a clearer, more accurate view of a business’s current performance, making it easier than ever to decide who to trust.
✨ Why We’re Making This Change
A lot can change in a year, so we want the reviews you read on Hellopeter to reflect what’s happening right now. By focusing on recency, we’re ensuring you can see how businesses are performing today, not years ago.
This also means that businesses working hard to improve can showcase their progress sooner. Both consumers and companies benefit from a more accurate reflection of what’s happening in real time.
