Recommendations
Yandex Maps provides personalized business recommendations based on:
- Routes you've created
- Search history
- Your ratings and reviews
- Bookmarks you've saved
For instance, if you regularly search for Asian restaurants on Yandex Maps, rate them highly, and leave reviews, you'll see more recommendations for similar places.
Recommendations appear below the search bar and as round photo markers on the map.

Available in select Russian cities only.
Recommendations display as curated selections below the search bar on your home screen.
To view all recommendations, swipe up on the search bar from the main screen.
Recommendations come in two formats:
-
For you — businesses that match your interests. You might see personalized notes next to business names, like "Haven't visited lately" or "Matches your taste for Japanese food". When the list is empty, you'll see a prompt to search for recommendations elsewhere.
-
Other selections — additional businesses you might enjoy. Yandex Maps editorial team and recommendation algorithms create these selections based on user reviews in the app.
