A deleted Google review is a review Google removed from a venue's profile after a complaint — in Germany, usually one citing defamation or personality-rights law. Google discloses the removal on the venue's page but never the reviews themselves. This page collects those disclosures for Simmerath, so you can see what each rating looked like before the removals.
