Visitor ratings make up 10% of the NOX score, alongside 45% for editorial judgement. We adjust ratings toward the site average while there are only a few reviews. How we rank.
Editorial judgement based on reviewed venue and scene evidence. A score does not imply a first-hand visit.
City context: the venue’s programming, community contribution and distinctiveness within its own city. Worth 9%; until assessed, the existing city-wide scene score is used as a baseline. This venue currently uses the city baseline, not an individual assessment.
Recency of observed Instagram activity. This is a signal, not proof of current operation.
Visitor ratings, adjusted toward the site average while reviews are limited. Applied once a venue reaches the minimum review count.
Venue capacity, scaled so that larger venues don’t dominate the overall score.
How long the venue has been open.
How often visitors save a venue. This has a small influence on the score.
The editorial score reflects our review of venue and local scene information. It doesn’t mean we’ve visited in person. Venues can’t pay for a higher score.
