Methodology for the "Top Places for Family Vacations in Georgia" ratings

The “Top Places for Family отдых with Children in Georgia” category brings together selections of family-friendly locations you can visit with a child — for walks, active recreation, and leisure. The methodology is based on the general principles of the Madloba system and adapted to the specifics of the family segment: the importance of safety and infrastructure, seasonality, and the need for especially accurate and up-to-date information.

What objects are included in the “Family отдых with Children” category
The category includes places and spaces suitable for family отдых and visits with children, presented in open sources and meeting the requirements for information accuracy.
Considered:

• parks and walking areas, family-friendly outdoor locations;
• children’s play spaces and entertainment centers;
• places with family activities and leisure;
• locations regularly visited by families and having stable public information.

To participate in the rankings, a place card must contain up-to-date data: address/geolocation, opening hours (if applicable), contacts (if applicable), and a description that helps understand the location format. Objects without stable public data may not be included until sufficient information becomes available.

Main data sources

Public sources and external signals

Only open and publicly available data is used when forming the rankings. The main source of reviews and basic information about places is public listings (including Google Maps). Additionally, information from open туристический directories and publications is taken into account, as well as information posted on the official pages of the objects.
Reviews are analyzed in RU / EN / KA to account for different audience segments.

How rating discrepancies are handled

Ratings across different platforms may differ: families have different expectations, children’s ages, and visit scenarios. Therefore, when forming rankings, a combination of independent signals is used rather than a single metric.
