Daribo: gifts for honest reviews

You just had a good meal and the staff were friendly, but writing a review feels like homework. Daribo gives you a reason to do it: leave an honest review of the place and you get a gift from the venue. It all happens on the spot, through a Telegram bot. 🎁

Look for the sticker by the till

Venues that joined Daribo put a sticker or a small poster with the service logo near the entrance or the cash register. It means a review here earns you a thank-you gift.

What the gift is depends on the venue. It could be a dessert, a drink or something else of their own choosing, so ask the staff what is on offer today.

From review to reward in four steps

1. Scan the first QR code. It takes you to the page where you write a review of the place.
2. Write the review and attach a photo. Say what you liked, what you did not, and add a picture.
3. Scan the second QR code. It opens the bot in Telegram, where you send a screenshot of your review.
4. Get a code and show it to a staff member. The gift is handed over right there while you are still at the table.

The whole thing takes a few minutes. You do not need to install anything beyond Telegram itself.

Why venues like the idea

Real reviews bring in new guests, but asking for them is awkward. Daribo turns the request into a simple exchange: you wrote a review, the venue said thanks with a gift.

The review comes from someone who is actually sitting in the place, which makes it more credible than a text from a stranger who never visited. A happy guest with a free treat is also more likely to mention the place to friends.

How to write a review people will read

The gift gets you typing, but other people are the ones reading. Write the review you would want to find yourself.

• Be specific. Name the dish, the wait time, how clean the room was, how the staff treated you.
• Be honest. If something went wrong, say so calmly. A balanced review is worth more than a gushing template.
• Use your own photo. A picture of the plate or the interior shows you were there.
• Stay polite. Facts and impressions, not insults.

The service describes the reviews as honest ones, so the sensible habit is to write only what you really experienced.

Check these things before you go for the gift

Not every cafe in your city takes part. Look for the sticker at the entrance or ask the cashier. Without it, the bot will not have a gift waiting for you.

You need the screenshot of the review for the bot, so keep the page open until you have sent it. Show the gift code to the staff right away rather than saving it for later. Each venue sets its own terms, including how long the offer lasts, so confirm them on the spot.

The bot has no reason to ask for payment, card details or account passwords. If anything like that appears, close the chat. It has nothing to do with a gifts-for-reviews scheme. 🔒

Who gets the most out of Daribo

People who already enjoy trying cafes and restaurants and can spare five minutes for a review in return for a small treat. Owners of small venues who want genuine reviews without paid boosting. And anyone choosing where to eat tonight, since photo reviews from real guests make the decision easier. ☕
