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.
