Organise places into categories

Group your recommendations so guests can find somewhere for breakfast without scrolling past every attraction.

Updated

Once you have more than a handful of recommendations, grouping them is what makes them usable.

How places are grouped

Each place belongs to a category — restaurants, cafés, attractions, transport, shops and so on. Guests filter by category on the Explore tab.

Choose categories by what guests are doing

Guests think in terms of a need, not a business type. "Breakfast", "Dinner" and "Rainy day" are often more useful than "Restaurants" and "Museums".

Pick whichever framing fits your area. A coastal cottage and a city apartment do not need the same categories.

Keep the number small

Four to six categories is usually right. If a category holds one place, it does not need to exist; if it holds twenty, it needs splitting.

Ordering within a category

Put your strongest recommendation first. Guests rarely read past the first two or three in a list, so the order is effectively a ranking whether you intend it or not.

Distance matters more than you think

Guests without a car care most about what is walkable. If your area splits naturally into "walkable" and "worth the drive", that is often a better division than by type.

Mention the walking time in your host note either way.
