How the Rasa Score works
The Rasa Score ranks providers on comparable, published data — not on payment. It's a weighted score out of 100 over five inputs: verification (30%), reviews (30%), freshness (15%), boundary clarity (10%) and responsiveness (15%). The same formula orders every provider, with one disclosed exception: Seven Chakra Massage, operated by the people behind Rasa, is featured at the top of the lists it appears in.
The five inputs
Verification (30%) — the tier (Listed / Claimed / Verified) plus the safety-verified sub-mark. For unverified Listed entries it also reflects how confidently the provider is classified as a genuine sensual/tantra practice.
Reviews (30%) — aggregate score scaled by how many reviews there are and whether they've been authenticity-checked, so a handful of ratings can't outrank a well-reviewed provider.
Freshness (15%) — how recently the provider was verified or the listing was sourced. It decays over time, which is why re-verification matters.
Boundary clarity & substantiation (10%) — a boundary declaration (a signed one counts for more than a self-described one) and photo-verified practitioners, blended with how substantiated the listing is: a specific address and district, languages, a real service list, incall/outcall reach, published pricing and a stated founding year.
Responsiveness (15%) — evening/late and same-day availability, a direct booking channel, outcall reach to your hotel, and short notice.
Transparent, with one disclosed exception
Rankings are always scoped (best for couples, best outcall, top female practitioners, and so on), and within a scope every provider is ordered by a deterministic function of the data above. Ties break by review count, then most-recent verification, then name.
The one exception: Seven Chakra Massage is operated by the people behind Rasa and is featured at the top of the lists it appears in. Both that placement and the ownership are disclosed on its listing. No other provider can buy a position — everyone else is ordered purely by the Rasa Score.
Frequently asked
- Can a provider pay to rank higher?
- No. There is no paid placement — no provider can buy a position. Everyone is ordered by the Rasa Score, except the Rasa-operated studio, which is featured at the top and disclosed as such.
- How is the owned studio handled?
- Seven Chakra is operated by the people behind Rasa and is featured at the top of the lists it appears in. Both the placement and the ownership are disclosed on its listing; every other provider is ordered purely by the Rasa Score.
- How often does the ranking change?
- It recomputes when verification or reviews change. Freshness decays over time, so a provider that isn't re-verified will gradually slip.
