How do I leave a review on EnAccess Maps?
Every time you visit a venue, you notice things others might miss, such as a step at the door, tight tables, or whether the bathroom is truly accessible.
With EnAccess Maps, turning those observations into an accessibility review is quick and simple. You’ll learn how to list a place, what details matter, and which photos make the biggest impact.
Your reviews don’t just share information. They open doors, helping people with disabilities enjoy the same spaces you do.
How to create your first review - a step-by-step guide
1. Set up your profile
Head to www.enaccessmaps.com.
- Tap the profile icon in the top corner
- Create a free account (email + password)
- Add EnAccess Maps to your phone’s home screen so it's always handy
2. Pick your venue
Not sure where to start? Try:
- A cafe or restaurant you’ve been meaning to check out
- Somewhere local with step-free access (check Google Street View if unsure)
- Independent venues - they often benefit most from increased visibility
- You could group 5-10 nearby venues if you’re heading out for a walk!
3. Visit the venue - in your own way!
There’s no one "correct" way to map. You can:
- Simply enjoy your visit and leave a review afterward - just like you would on Google Maps, or
- Introduce yourself to the staff if you want to take a few photos or ask questions. Don't be shy - if it's not too busy, usually they will be down for a chat!
You could potentially say something along these lines:
"Hi! I’m a volunteer with a charity called EnAccess Maps.
We help people with disabilities find wheelchair accessible venues like yours.
Would it be okay if I come in and take a few photos to help others know what to expect?"

4. Write your review
Head to www.enaccessmaps.com.
- Search for the venue in the "Search, Rate & Review" search bar
- Click "Add Review"
- Even if there is already a review for this venue, feel free to still add yours - the more reviews, the better!
Then:
- Fill out the checklist
- Upload your photos
- Share any tips, details, or other things to be aware of
- Post your review!
5. Tips for Writing Your Review (great photos are key)
Here's what makes a great accessibility review:
- Entrance: Are there steps? Is there a ramp? Is the door manual or automatic? If it's manual, how heavy is the door? How wide is the entrance?
- Seating areas: Is there enough space to navigate a wheelchair or pram between the tables? How high are the chairs and tables? Are the chairs fixed to the ground, or can they be easily swapped out with a wheelchair?
- Toilets: Is there an accessible bathroom? Snap a few photos of the entrance and the interior of the bathroom
- Parking: Is there accessible parking nearby? Take pictures of the signs and the area
- Other features: note lifts, narrow walkways, or internal stairs. You can include these details in your written description!

I'm Jess, the Digital Content Team Lead for EnAccess Maps! I joined this year after being inspired by the founder Sabrina's selfless dedication and perseverance, as well as the whole team's passion for improving accessibility. My goal is to write blogs that will raise awareness of the often overlooked struggles that the disability community go through - to help turn these 'invisible' issues visible. I also hope that this can be a platform where the disability community can be empowered - a place for their stories to be shared, a place for their voices to be heard. Join our team as we strive to make this world a more inclusive place :)
