Why it shows only 2 in the ratings tab?

Hello to all,

I don’t believe that my rating is only 2 !!.

When I am LGs Level 8, I believe it should be higher. I swear I’ve ratted each place I’ve visited, and each place I’ve applied my editing on it, I’ve ratted it. So what’s is shown in the screenshot is weird !!

This is so good @OSAMA_1 , congratulations.

It means that only two of your places are rated, but without a review, while all the other 218 places have a rating plus a review

When you will write a review for that two places, your Ratings count will be Zero, that means Zero Ratings without a review.

@OSAMA_1 I will second what @ErmesT said in that reviews take the place of ratings alone. I learned this as I am slowly turning all my ratings into actual reviews. This way my ratings will show 0, and the review section will increase as a result. I personally like to add words to a review than just starring something, its more effective for people seeking advice on Google.

Congratulations as well on the work you have done to get to level 8. I am getting close myself :). It also looks like you are about to earn you master badge in quite a few areas, nice work!!

sometimes i also gave rating without review accidentally.

usually after visiting a place, Google Map popped up at the notification and i accidentally tapped on the ratings :joy:

i always try to write reviews, because rating alone doesn’t tell much about a place.

Hi @OSAMA_1 ,

Please note that @ErmesT 's reply was accepted as a solution as it gives the complete answer to your question.

I have also edited the heading of your post to an easier recognizable one. This way when having the same question other Local Guides will be able to find the solution easier.
