I don't often pay too-much attention to the star-ratings of the reviews and focus on what the reviewer says - but I've been writing a fair # of reviews lately and have noticed what appears to me a bit of a disconnect in the star-ratings - i.e. one of the four star-ratings is "Atmosphere" which seems to be tied to the "Physical Club" rating one gives a club when submitting a review - I think equating atmosphere to the physcial cluib rating is a disconnect - i.e. the club may be a bit of a dump but have a nice vibe and vise-versa can be a really nice looking club but the vibe can suck.

good observations... maybe PM founder about it
I did PM founder about-it and he replied - "Fuck you Jackie"
LOL - just kidding - I haven't PMed him about it
I take atmosphere to mean the vibe of the club, rather than the appearances or creature comforts.
^ me too - I think most would
Never, never, never PM Founder and tell him "Fuck you, jackie" The world could end. LOL
Take my word for it. Don't tell him how to run his site. :) The star ratings are for atmosphere value & dancers while the top 10 are for club value & dancers
So that makes atmosphere vs club a grey area. I've been rating them using the club appearance.
I think it's a gray area too. I see a rating for building and then it shows up as atmosphere. If the club itself is very nice I might rate the building high but if the club vibe was very slow and the girls wanted too much money, the actual atmosphere would suck but I see building somewhere in the description, not vibe of the club, at least while giving the rating.
As long as it isn't a CLUB AD OF THE DAY, I figure we're coming out ahead. Star ratings for anything on the Internet seem to be pretty meaningless. It's usually either 5 stars by default or 1 star if someone was pissed off about something.
It does say "physical club" when you do a review.
ppwh's observation, I understand. For other internet reviews, I'm expecting the 5 star and 1 star reviews to aggregate to 4.0 or a 4.5 rating. That tells me it has enough reviews but that most people are happy (4-5 stars) versus unhappy (1 star). Something with ~5.0 rating usually doesn't have a enough reviews so it doesn't tell you much.
I've wondered about that here, I know I did when I did my review. Some guys would rate something a 2 or a 3, and wondered, 2 or a 3 compared with what?
So I guess that's why some only read and consider reviews by PLs one knows from the forum so one knows the calibration factor of that particular PL.
I agree, Papi. Some of my best club experiences have been in a dump, i.e., Henry VIII, but you never know. You take these things with grains of salt and tequila shots. ARRIBA !!
