Other things to consider when judging

It is also important to consider how long the business has been active and how many reviews it has. A business that has been in existence for a week that has a single review that is 5-stars would earn a 100% star rating score, but…

It is a good idea to put more trust in businesses that have “proven” themselves. Maybe those that have been in business for a few years and have earned a few hundred reviews?

How to do the math longhand:

A

How many reviews multiplied by 5 (total number of possible stars).

For example, a business with 130 reviews had the potential to earn 130×5=650 stars.

B

• How many reviews are 5-star? 75 Multiply this number by 5.  375
• How Many reviews are 4-star? 24 Multiply this number by 4.  96
• How many reviews are 3-star? 12 Multiply this number by 3.  36
• How Many reviews are 2-star? 10 Multiply this number by 2.  20
• How many reviews are 1-star? 9 Multiply this number by 1.  9

C

Add the total stars in B.

375+96+36+20+9=536. In other words, our fictional business earned 536 stars out of a possible 650 stars.

D

Divide the total stars earned by the total possible stars.

536 ÷ 650 = .8246 which rounds down to 83%. Our fictional business scores 83%.
