How the Hot Score works
| Signal | Rank | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Reviews | 1st | How fast new written reviews arrived in the last 90 days — nothing older counts |
| Rating | 2nd | The standing star rating (4.0+ to qualify at all) |
| Profile | 3rd | How complete the Google Business Profile is |
| Ranked 1st to 3rd by influence — review activity leads by a distance. Only written reviews over 50 characters count. We don't publish the exact weightings — a formula you can compute backwards is one you can farm. No paid placements, no national chains. Recalculated monthly. | ||

How We Rank Burgos
Most restaurant guides are frozen in time. A place gets reviewed once, earns a badge, and rides that reputation for years. Meanwhile, the kitchen changes hands, quality drifts, and nobody updates the listing.
DOW works differently. We track 176 venues across 4 zones in Burgos using live Google review data, recalculated monthly. Our Hot Score weighs three signals, in order of influence: how many written reviews landed in the last 90 days, the standing Google rating, and how complete the venue's Google Business Profile is. We don't publish the exact weightings — a formula you can compute backwards is one you can farm. A venue that coasted on a 4.8 from two years ago will rank below one that earned a 4.5 last month with genuine momentum.
Monthly Rankings
Every venue re-ranked each month. Positions shift based on real activity, not editorial opinion.
No Paid Placements
Rankings are algorithmic. Venues cannot pay to appear higher. The score is the score.
Text Reviews Only
Star-only reviews and short junk are filtered out. Only written reviews over 50 characters count toward velocity.
