Few online reviews
Trustpilot shows a TrustScore of 4.2 out of 5 from 6 reviews. All six are five-star and were posted on 10–11 Jun 2026, shortly after the business claimed the profile, and the page notes no recent history of inviting reviews. The sample is too small and too bunched to read much into.
