πŸ“ whereto.guide

Where to eat, sleep, lift & work in [city], by [person].

Google Maps is a review farm. This is a city map made by one human who actually went there: restaurants, bars, hotels, gyms, coworking spots. Each list is owned and kept up to date by the person recommending it.

β€œAll restaurants with 4.5+ stars on Google Maps ask for a review. We offer you free coffee πŸ€— Now give us 5-star review. I do not trust reviews anymore. I’d ditch Google Maps as soon as someone builds a trustworthy system. And I would pay for it.”

β€œActually, I’d buy a "restaurant list by [person] in [city]" for $9”

← so we built exactly that. Plus hotels, gyms, bars and coworking. 🫑

Places published by real people with real experiences. No more Google review bribes.

A 4.7 on Google Maps tells you a restaurant is good at asking for reviews. A list on whereto.guide tells you what one named person ate, where they slept, where they trained and where they got work done, with a πŸ‘ and a πŸ‘Ž on every single place. You can vote it up, you can look them up on 𝕏, you can ask them a question. Try that with 11,547 anonymous stars.

whereto.guide is where to eat, sleep, lift and work in any city, according to one person who was actually there. Every list has a name and a face behind it: a local, an expat, a friend who spent six months in Istanbul and knows which cağ kebab is worth the queue. No aggregated star ratings, no β€œleave us a review for a free coffee”, no sponsored placements.
