Rate a rider

Rate the rider from one to five stars after each ride, mark problems that were not about the rider, and see how your own rating is worked out.

Updated
6 October 2026

Do this on the Ride complete screen after every ride.

Before you start. The ride is completed. The rider rates you separately. The rider never sees who rated them.

Steps

  1. Under "How was" and the rider's name, choose one to five stars.
  2. Pick what applies: "What went well?" for five stars, "What went wrong? Up to three." for fewer.
  3. If the problem was the booking or the app rather than the rider, pick Not about the rider. On its own it means the rating does not count against the rider.
  4. Add a comment if something needs saying. Keep it factual.
  5. Tap Submit rating.

If you tapped Done without the rating, Home shows "Rate your last rider". Tap Rate there.

What happens next

The rating is stored against the rider's account. A single low rating does nothing on its own. GuyWay uses ratings to spot riders who repeatedly cause problems, and a person reads and decides any review.

A comment about damage or a mess does not open a claim. Use Report damage, mess or a lost item on the same screen. See Report damage, mess or a lost item.

Your own rating

Your rating is on Your profile and on Account and data.
