How we rank

Boovie Reader Fit is Boovie's own guide, built from each place's listed facts (hours, Wi-Fi, seating, access) and what the type of place is designed for. It is not a user rating. Badges with a dotted outline are Boovie's judgement from the type of place, not a listed fact. Places are ordered by how well the evidence fits reading, how confident it is, and how recently it was checked.
