    Can a rating capsule be used to rate a place (not a recipe) in a travel related hub?

    Hub page learning center has information about rating capsule, but it describes its use in a recipe hub.  I am not sure if I can use this for a travel hub.  Is HP review capsule is similar to Google’s rich snippets as described in https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/146645

    Anyone who has experience with the use of rating capsule for travel hub, please share.

    You can absolutely use it for your travel hub. I've seen it used for them a few times. I've also used it myself for book review hubs.

    I guess it's just slightly more practical for recipe hubs because you can go out and buy the ingredients for a recipe and make it that night and rate it right then and there. Whereas with a travel hub people are not likely to come back and rate it after they took your advice.

    I guess you would be better off using a poll.
    - Been there, loved it
    - Been there, wasn't impressed
    - Want to go
    - Not interested

      Thanks for the advice.  I am going to use it for a travel hub and see what happens.

    Yes, you can big_smile. I noticed that "ratings" does appear in two different places when you're writing a hub -- there's one under "recipes," but then another one above it. I use the one that's not under the recipe heading for my reviews, and it does seem to be very helpful to people to have that little at-a-glance piece of information.

      Thank for pointing me towards the right rating capsule.  I agree that these stars are eye catching.  Many travel portals are using it.
