Evendo Place Score

Beyond review averages

Evendo Place Score is Evendo's proprietary assessment of each place's popularity and quality. It is designed to provide a stronger discovery and ranking signal than relying only on average customer ratings. A score is not the same as a 0–5 review rating, nor a guarantee of an individual visitor's experience.

Property Contract
Field place_score
Scale 0 to 100 (numeric)
Direction Higher is better
Scope Intended for all venue types
Typical values Most venues score 20–50; 70+ is excellent; 90+ is a city's very best
MCP minimum filter min_place_score
MCP ordering sort_by: "place_score"
GraphQL range filters place_score_gte, place_score_lte
GraphQL sort field PLACE_SCORE

MCP example

Use with find_venues after resolving the destination ID:

json
{
  "place_id": "27799",
  "venue_type": "Attractions",
  "min_place_score": 80,
  "sort_by": "place_score",
  "limit": 10
}

GraphQL example

graphql
query {
  descendantsOf(
    ancestorId: "27799"
    nodeType: "Attractions"
    place_score_gte: 80
    orderBy: { field: PLACE_SCORE, direction: DESC }
    first: 10
  ) {
    edges { node { id title place_score rating rating_votes } }
    pageInfo { hasNextPage endCursor }
  }
}

These arguments are live in MCP and GraphQL. Some sample outputs elsewhere in these docs were captured before Place Score was added, so they do not show it.

Interpretation and recommendations

  • Use score thresholds when a user asks for the best or highest-quality options.
  • Combine Place Score with geographic and user-preference constraints, including accessibility, category and price.
  • Use customer ratings and review counts as supplementary context, not substitutes for Place Score.
  • A missing score means unknown, not zero. Do not fabricate scores or silently treat missing as a poor ranking.
  • Do not present the metric as a percentage probability, external certification or independently verified review score. The scoring formula and update schedule are not publicly specified.
