The ratings are based on a 3 being about average, no frills.  Naturally a 5 is great or outstanding.  Ratings of 2, 1 or 0 do not necessarily mean terrible, but more likely indicate that the rated item is limited or even non-existent.  Higher ratings for the Evening Meal are for local cuisine, and/or well presented gourmet meals.  Sandwiches and a small drink only rate a 3 for Lunch and Snacks, but higher ratings would indicate fresh fruit, baked goods, or even a “sit down” lunch with wine.  This rating is in brackets when it relates to breakfast at a B&B.  Ratings or 4 or 5 for a Lodge will indicate clean, modern rooms, big enough to turn around in, and with private bathroom. Tent camps are all rated a 1.  Higher Fishing Quality ratings are indicative of good quantity and quality of fish.  Higher ratings are given to professional, helpful, knowledgeable and courtesy Guides.   When there are things other than fishing, like side trips, a pool, local cultural or historical sites and activities, or shopping nearby, then the ratings for Non-fishing Activities and Trailing Spouse go up.
