## Frequently asked questions

### Which gym in Calabar has the highest rating?

Gemba Hotel and Resort has the highest rating on the list at 5.0 stars, but that is based on only 16 reviews. A larger sample, like The Metropolitan Hotel Calabar's 3,321 reviews, gives a 4.1-star rating, which is more representative of broad opinion.

### How many gyms are ranked in Calabar?

We have verified 25 gyms in Calabar for this list. They include hotels and apartment complexes with fitness facilities, such as Hogis Luxury Suites, Monty Suites, and The Metropolitan Hotel. The list is not exhaustive; more may be added as we verify them.

### Why do some gyms have few reviews?

Some gyms, like Gemba Hotel and Resort with 16 reviews, have a smaller review base. This could be due to recent listing or lower customer volume. A 5-star rating from 16 reviews is a positive sign but not as reliable as a rating from hundreds of reviews.

### What does the rating data tell me about these gyms?

The ratings reflect customer satisfaction with the overall facility, which includes the gym. For instance, The Metropolitan Hotel Calabar has a 4.1-star rating from over 3,000 reviews, suggesting consistent quality. However, the data does not specify gym equipment, classes, or other details, so it should be used as a starting point.

### How is this list ordered?

The list is ordered by a combination of factors, including the average Google rating and the number of reviews a business has. Businesses with higher ratings and more reviews tend to rank higher. For example, Hogis Luxury Suites ranks above Monty Suites despite a lower rating, because it has a higher rating per review count.

## About this data

Ranked is a directory: it is not the businesses it lists and does not act for them. Ratings and review counts are Google's, quoted as sourced; the order, the composite score and the counts above are Ranked's own.
