From Geohashing

Welcome to geohashing! To answer your question as to whether or not this should count as a success, there isn't a hard rule that I've found, but if you were within your device's margin of error (or "circle of uncertainty"), and said margin of error is no more than 10m, very few people would dispute that you successfully reached the coordinates. As to achievements, you're eligible for at least Land Geohash. It's customary to post proof of achievements, typically in the form of a photo or screenshot of your GPS, though tracklogs, geotags embedded in photos, or other evidence can work as well. In any case, best of luck in your future geohashing endeavors! --Eldin (talk) 14:09, 9 March 2013 (EST)

Most people rule a success as: Even if it is not the exact spot, the GPS device tells me I'm really close and I could just as well move a bit in the direction where the exact spot would be.... Success! But if you're 2m off, separated by a huge wall.... Sadly a failure. Having said that, you're your own judge. Happy hashing! --Palmpje (talk) 06:48, 7 June 2013 (EDT)
