Can be an experience, thing, or place.
Example:

What does overrated mean?
In life, we all value things differently.
I think pizza is better than burgers. I think fried chicken is better than soup. This is rating things. What is better than the other. Or saying something is 8/10 (8 out of 10) is a rate. So, I think pizza is rated a 9/10, burgers are rated an 8/10, fried chicken is rated an 8/10 and soup is rated a 6/10.
If a lot of people think that something is the best, say pizza. But, if you dont think that it is that good (you think it's a 4/10), then it is overrated. You think that too many people think pizza is the best when you actually don't like it so much. You don't think it has as much value as everyone else thinks.
