Our Data

How We Collect & Verify Information

All pricing data on Massage Makati is collected through direct venue visits, phone confirmations, and online menu reviews. We visit each spa at least once per quarter to verify that published prices remain accurate. When discrepancies are found, we update our database within 48 hours.

Our scoring system uses six quantifiable criteria, each rated 1–10 by anonymous reviewers. The composite score is calculated as a weighted average: cleanliness (20%), technique (20%), value (15%), atmosphere (15%), therapist skill (20%), and amenities (10%). Venues scoring below 6.0 in any single category are flagged for re-review.

Customer review sentiment is analyzed using a manual verification process. We read Google, Facebook, and TripAdvisor reviews for each venue, categorizing feedback by our six criteria. This crowdsourced layer adds real-world perspective to our editorial scores and catches issues our team might miss during single visits.
