How we rank places

Roampedia is commission-free and we don't sell rankings. Here's exactly how the order on every list is decided.

Where our information comes from

Each place is built from verified, public sources — never invented:

• OpenStreetMap — names, addresses, hours and categories (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
• Wikipedia & Wikimedia — history and photos for landmarks and attractions.
• OpenRouteService — the real routed walking and driving distances on every card (© openrouteservice.org by HeiGIT).
• Business owners — verified owners can add hours, photos and details about their own place.

Why there are no star ratings here

We don't show a rating for any place, and that is deliberate. Review scores belong to the platform that collected them, and their terms do not let a directory like this one store or republish them. We would rather show you nothing than show you a number we have no right to pass on — so where other sites print somebody else's stars, we print what we can actually stand behind: who runs the place, where it is, when it opens, what it costs and how far it is on foot. Our own reviews are a feature we intend to build; until they exist, this space stays empty rather than borrowed.

How the order is decided

Lists are ordered by how much verifiable information we hold about each place — a photograph we are licensed to publish, an encyclopaedia entry, a working website, a real written description, details confirmed by the owner. It is not a quality score and it is not a popularity contest: it is a measure of how well documented an entry is, which is the only thing we can honestly claim to know.

What does not affect ranking

Roampedia is free to list on, and we don't sell rankings or placement. There are no affiliate links. The order is decided purely by how complete and well sourced a place's information is — it's earned, never bought.

Commission-free by design

We don't take a cut of your booking. Every place links out to the business's own website, or to its profile on Google or Bing, so you deal with them directly — no middleman markup. If you want to read reviews, follow that link and read them at the source.
