How TripAdvisor rounds
Half a bubble can move you up the rankings.
Your bubble rating is rounded to the nearest half, and your town ranking also weighs how many reviews you have and how recent they are.
Recency lifts ranking
TripAdvisor’s popularity ranking favours recent reviews, so a steady flow helps you climb the local list.
