Rank anywhere you go,S to F.
Where you eat, stay and explore, on one simple scale. Your friends' ranks follow every place, so you know what's worth trying.
Coming soon
One scale for everywhere you've been.
From the taco truck to the boutique hotel, every place gets the same simple rank. No stars to argue over, no averages from strangers. Just your call, and your friends'.
Recommendations come from people who don't share your taste.
Your friends get buried
Google Maps and Yelp average your best friend's rave in with thousands of strangers, so the opinion you actually trust disappears. Meanwhile a one-star rant about parking can sink the best spot in town.
Your own history is scattered
Your best finds are lost in Instagram posts, old notes and 5,000 camera-roll photos. Finding one specific place, or seeing everywhere you've been, is nearly impossible.
Your rank, and your friends', follow every place.
Rank a place once and that call shows up everywhere the place does: in the feed, on the globe, in your wishlist, on your profile and in your trips. When you're deciding where to go, the people you trust have already weighed in.
Your record of everywhere you've been.
Rank any restaurant, bar, hotel or sight on one S–F scale, from life changing to avoid at all costs. Your profile keeps the whole history in one place, with your All Time Favorites front and center.
See where your friends actually go.
A feed of real places from the people you trust, each with their own rank, never an average. Like it, comment on it, or save it to your own wishlist in one tap.
Find out whose taste matches yours.
Open a friend's profile to see every place you've both ranked, side by side. Where you agree, where you don't, and whose picks you should be stealing.
The places you keep meaning to go.
Someone mentions a place. You say, "oh I need to go there." Three months later you're in that city with no idea what it was called. Drop it in your wishlist when you hear about it. It'll be waiting for you.
Plan the trip with the people going.
Pull places from your wishlist into a trip, invite the friends you're traveling with, and see everyone's ranks on every stop. Afterward, rank the places you went and keep the record.
Saw it on TikTok? Save it here.
Found a place on TikTok, Airbnb or any other app? Share it to Minko to review it or add it to your wishlist, without leaving what you're doing.
Every place you've been, on one globe.
Every review you post shows up on your globe. Over time it fills in with the cities you keep returning to and the spots you went to once and still think about. Friends can follow along, filter by city, and add your favorites to their own wishlist.
Rank it. Pin it. Share it. Go.

Frequently asked questions
What does S to F mean?
It's the scale you rate every place on: S is life changing, A is loved it, B is solid but forgettable, C is not in a rush to go back, D is disappointing, and F is avoid at all costs.
What can I rank?
Anywhere you go, eat or stay: restaurants, bars, cafés, hotels, rentals, sights and parks, all on the same S–F scale.
Who is Minko for?
Travelers and foodies who'd rather get a recommendation from a friend than a stranger, and who want to remember the places worth going back to.
How is it different from Google Maps or Yelp?
They try to cover every place with reviews from everyone. Minko doesn't. You see individual ranks from people you follow, never an average from strangers, so the opinion you trust doesn't get buried.
Can I book through Minko?
No. Minko is for deciding where to go and remembering where you've been. Book wherever you already do, then share the listing to Minko to keep it with the rest of your trip.
Do I need my friends on it to start?
Nope. Your own ranked history is useful from day one. Then invite the people whose taste you trust, and their ranks start showing up on every place you look at.
How much does Minko cost?
Minko is free to use, and we plan to keep it that way as long as we can.
Go where your friends go.
Free during beta. Know the places worth trying, and the ones worth going back to, because the people you trust say so.
