Beaches, beach clubs and reviews: how to compare them

A beach is a natural place, while a beach club is a business providing services on a particular part of the coast.

We link the two entries only when the operator’s location on that beach has been verified.

When reviewing, rate what you actually observed during your visit.

Structure-related criteria do not apply to a natural beach.

You can also leave a criterion unrated when you do not know; it will not become zero stars.

Include the month and year of your visit to give the experience a time context.

A sea-cleanliness rating describes a perception and does not certify the water’s health quality.

Official rankings require at least ten valid reviews and use a disclosed weighting method.

A sponsored business cannot buy better ratings or a ranking position.

When there are too few reviews, the site shows an editorial selection clearly separated from the ranking.
