Should a review show what was actually bought, or is proving a real purchase happened enough?

by•

I keep going back and forth on this. Knowing that a reviewer really bought something feels like the most important first step — it separates a real customer from a made-up account. But once that is settled, I still wonder how much detail a reader actually needs.

If someone says a restaurant was great, does it matter whether they had the tasting menu or just a coffee? For a hotel, a salon, or a repair shop, the specific service can change what the review means. On the other hand, showing exactly what was bought can feel too personal, and it might put people off leaving a review at all.

Where would you draw the line? Is proof of a real purchase enough for you to trust a review, or do you want to see what was actually bought before it feels useful?
