I love rating places since it is the most simple and transparent way other people can have an idea about business or places.
Usually when my partner and I go out to a new place we check the rating if it is more than 3 stars we try it. When it is less than 3 stars we seldom try it. Hence the more stars the higher the probability that we try it, and that simplicity is what I love and want to help others decide in the easiest way possilbe.
