FAQs: What should you know about Ghoomein?

Quick answers about reviews, contests, voting rules, and how ratings work on Ghoomein.

What is Ghoomein and who is it for?

Ghoomein is a travel community where you discover places through real photos and genuine reviews. It’s for travellers and locals who want trustworthy information, fair contests, and honest ratings.

How does the 2 km rule work for writing reviews?

To keep reviews genuine, Ghoomein allows review submission only when you’re near the place (within ~2 km). This reduces fake reviews and makes the platform “trust-first”.

Can I vote multiple times in a contest?

No. To keep voting fair, each user can give only one vote per entry (as per your contest rule). This helps avoid spam voting and keeps results transparent.

How are city, state, and country ratings calculated?

Place ratings come from real user reviews. Those place ratings roll up into city ratings, then state ratings, then country ratings—so you can compare destinations at any level quickly.

How do I participate in a live contest on Ghoomein?

Open the contest, submit your entry (photo or linked review), and share it. Keep an eye on participation start/end dates. Winners are decided through community voting under your rules.

Do I need to log in to submit a review or participate?

For actions like submitting reviews, contest entries, and voting, login is recommended/required so rules can be enforced (1-user-1-vote, review authenticity, and entry ownership).

Why am I not able to submit a review from home?

Because Ghoomein focuses on on-ground authenticity. If you’re not near the place (2 km rule), review posting may be blocked so the platform stays genuine.

Where can I explore all places, reviews, and contests?

You can explore contests from the Events/Contests area, browse places from the Places page, and read all reviews from the Reviews page (links are available on this home page).

How do you use Ghoomein step-by-step?

Simple guides for participation and genuine review posting.

  4. Submit your entry and double-check details.
  5. Share your entry and track votes until participation ends.
  6. Check results after the contest closes.
