A score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews, so a handful of glowing reviews can’t beat a product many people like.

Prices are still fine but scaling options and object storage reliability have become problems as Hetzner seems to have grown too fast.
They hosted clients on Hetzner and found support OK, but had a few too many random outages from DDoS attacks or power cuts. They have since moved most clients elsewhere.
Moved from Hetzner S3 to Wasabi; Hetzner is brilliant for dedicated machines but not S3.
Eight-year customer sees storage, load balancer and unreachable cloud machine issues, but support replied in 15 minutes and fixed it in 25 despite no SLA.
Seven Hetzner VPS for a couple of months with occasional routing problems to AWS.
The Kubernetes cloud controller and load balancer provisioning bug out once in a while, otherwise great.
Loves Hetzner but its S3 product has random outages and HTTP timeouts.
Hetzner has been fine but network issues in Falkenstein last month pushed them to look elsewhere.
Three years without major issues apart from one larger switch failure that took the server offline about three hours.

It's how well reviewed Hetzner Cloud is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a service needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed services here, to reach the high 80s and 90s.
