How we calculate the ranking
The order is not set by raw stars. Each spot receives a score combining the average rating with the number of reviews: we use a Bayesian average that weighs each rating by its review volume, plus a small volume bonus. A place in Maia with hundreds of consistent reviews is not overtaken by one with a perfect score but very few. The result is an honest ranking of the top-rated francesinhas, updated automatically every week.
