What is Locals Choice?

Locals Choice is South Africa's premier local voting platform where people can discover and vote for the best local places, businesses, and venues across the country. We help amazing local places get recognized and discovered by the community.

How does the voting system work?

You can vote for any local place by providing your name and email address. Each email address can vote once per place. Your vote helps local places get recognized and improves their visibility on our platform.

Is voting free?

Yes, voting is completely free! You can vote for as many local places as you like without any cost.

How can I get my place listed on Locals Choice?

You can get your place listed in two ways:

• Visit roomregistry.co.za to list your place directly
• Use our Recommend a Spot form to suggest your place

Can I see who voted for my place?

Yes, if voters opt in to share their contact information, place owners can see the names and email addresses of voters who agreed to be contacted.

How do I access my property's voting data?

Property owners can log in to their account to view voting statistics and voter details (for those who opted in to share their information).

Can I vote multiple times for the same property?

No, each email address can only vote once per property. This ensures fair voting and prevents spam.

What happens when I opt in to share my contact information?

When you opt in, the property owner will be able to see your name and email address. They may contact you directly to thank you for your vote or offer special deals.

Can I vote for properties I haven't stayed at?

Yes, you can vote for any property listed on our platform, whether you've stayed there or not. However, we encourage honest voting based on your experience or knowledge of the property.

How do I search for properties by location?

You can browse properties by city using our location-based pages, or use the search functionality on the main properties page to filter by city.

How are properties ranked?

Properties are ranked by the number of votes they receive. You can view properties by highest votes, best voted this month, or recently added.

Is my personal information secure?

Yes, we take your privacy seriously. Your personal information is only shared with property owners if you explicitly opt in, and we follow strict data protection practices. Read our Privacy Policy for more details.
