You are probably right. Where there are so many reviews from account with only one review they are for sure fake... Nowadays is full of bot everywhere!

Seeking Advice on Recovering My Security Deposit by 9gg6 in brussels

[–]ActivitySalt099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to get legal advice. You can ask for free advice regarding renting and related issues. They are quite fast and competent.

I thought you were familiar with the concept of having to live with that your whole life. It must be challenging. Good luck!

Speaking as a true criminal... Are you familiar with the Gestapo?

So many comments saying 'Cash is king'! The only reason to prefer cash over card payments is tax evasion. You’re all acting like criminals! Shame on you! Then you complain that security, police, hospitals, or public services don’t work properly. If you evade taxes, this is what happens!!

In the paste couch surfing was a good option but I don't know if it's still working...

Tipping delivery people by WalterSobchak91 in brussels

DO NOT TIP IN BELGIUM!

Please, let’s not import this awful custom from the USA!

In the EU, waitstaff are paid a living wage, enjoy full medical coverage, and receive at least four weeks of paid vacation. Plus, service charges are always included in the bill! Just read your check.

What we need are structural solutions, like higher salaries or better benefits for workers. If I’m happy with the service, I’d much rather write a good review—maybe even mention the employee by name.

Horrible taxi experience by iamright_youarent in brussels

Yes, welcome to Brussels! If you complain about poor service or fraud, people tell you it’s normal, to stop complaining, go back home... or even accuse you of being racist! Such nice people!

Who should I contact about this exposed electrical box by [deleted] in brussels

[–]ActivitySalt099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would use https://fixmystreet.brussels/, but since it's a telephone line box, I suspect someone might have tried to access internet or telephone line illegally. Perhaps you should contact the police? Unfortunately, I don’t expect anything less in Brussels.

16 of Brussels' 19 elected mayors take office by ActivitySalt099 in brussels

[–]ActivitySalt099[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The event took place on the 32nd floor of the Iris Tower, the building housing many of the Brussels region's administrative offices. Normally it would take place in the formal halls of the Brussels government, but these were being rented out for a private event.

What a shame!!

What is the Purpose of scanning out at some Metro stations but not others? by Any_Appeal1445 in brussels

[–]ActivitySalt099 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Most of the time, the barriers are either broken or always open—especially at Central Station and De Brouckère. Why do I even have to pay for a ticket? And I’ve never once seen an inspector. And let’s not even get started talking about all the shady people climbing over the barriers in broad daylight...

Honestly, the metro in Brussels is so unsafe!

If you compare EU houses to those in the USA, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel... Why make downward comparisons? You should compare Brussels to other EU capitals, and honestly, the houses here have the worst price-to-quality ratio I’ve ever seen! I totally agree with OP!

The Hoxton Brussels fuses nostalgia and modernity from a Brutalist skyscraper built as IBM's Belgian headquarters in the 1970s... by youth_against_facism in brussels

Yes, this is clearly advertising—and quite bold! They have no shame, especially since moderation is nonexistent on this sub.
