5 (5511) is even more suspect than 5 (3).
Sort by 3 star reviews, then check out the 2’s and 4’s if needed
This my moment. I have been waiting for this for so long.
Actually, a rating of 5 means all the reviews are 5 stars. Any other rating would drop it below 5.
That’s not uh… I was trying to… I meant that…
Damn lol
There is only one decimal place. 4.95 stars would round up.
Depends on whether they use
floororceil. From observation, most systems round down.
I sort by recent and usually find the realistic reviews
I always read the 1 star reviews, and usually nothing else. If they are all dumb shit like “Mine never arrived!” Or “It broke the first time I threw it at the wall” then I know it’s probably fine
I’ve been delivering through my province and collecting roadside diners to visit on days off. The last restaurant I checked the one star reviews and the first one said the “coleslaw was boring”. There was also a three star review that said it was closed so they couldn’t eat there… what?
Or: ★ I tried to use this knife as a fork and it didn’t work.
Or some other dumb shit where you wonder how that person is even able to live.
Absolutely. Sometimes the two and three stars are useful, people tend to write more nuanced reviews about what went wrong or other issues with whatever is being reviewed. You might also find someone who has taken the time to find a fix if there is one, or suggest a possible alternative product that does the job. One stars are usually “this (thing) sucks because (reasons) and I’d give it negative stars if I could!”
Until you see the product was swapped 1k reviews ago.
There are paid reviews in google maps!!!
I had an instance where I contracted a company with 4.9 (120) and received the worst service and quality possible.
I couldn’t believe it was just my bad luck so I went back to the reviews and took a deeper look.
Most reviews were fake.
1 week old reviewers with ~3 reviews all 5 stars and extremely eloquent about how great everything was.
You cannot trust google maps for reviews.
Until you see “5 to 10 reviews removed because of diffamation.”
That is most revealing!
How do you check that?
Click on viewing all reviews. It is then shown right at the top.
i love how Japanese rate on a whole diffrenet scale. Usually in Europe 4.2 is ok, 4.7 is very good. Less than 4 avoid. In Japan 3.8 is like 5.0 lol :D. And the reviews are something like: “the food was exceptionally good, reasonably priced, but couldnt find the parking spot 3.0/5.0”
