How we choose

“Chosen, not bought” is a checkable promise, not a slogan.

1. 1
   Ranking is always editorial

   No place can buy a position in a list. The order comes from the facts: verified data, official status, and an editorial visit.

2. 2
   Reviews are moderated

   Every review is published under a real name and read by an editor within 24 hours. An owner can reply — never delete.

3. 3
   Advertising is always labelled

   Sponsored cards have their own ground, a dashed border and an “Ad” label. They are never mixed into ranked results. English and Russian pages may also carry advertisements served by Google, under an “Advertisement” label and outside the lists; Google chooses them, we do not, and they never affect a ranking.

4. 4
   A package buys content, never rank

   A paid package adds a gallery, video and statistics. It does not move a place up any list.

The review policy

• Only a confirmed email address can leave a review, one review per place.
• We don't publish: advertising, abuse, personal data, text that isn't about the place, or obvious fakes.
• Criticism is not deleted. A negative review passes the same checks as a positive one.
• We never import ratings from other sites — our stars come only from reviews written here.

Every list, every “Ad” label and every badge links back to this page.
