How is it this place gets 4 stars? Isn't the overall star rating supposed to be the average stars based on the reviews?
Well, I did some of my own calculating and I'm afraid that there is some illicit rigging going on here.
Let's do the math together, shall we?
9 reviewers gave 1 star = 9
1 reviewer gave 3 stars = 3
1 reviewer gave 4 stars = 4
1 reviewer gave 5 stars = 5
That's a total of 21 stars between 12 people. Now let's calculate the average. 21 divided by 12 = 1.75. So the total of stars this place should get (rounded off to the nearest star) is 2.
2 stars.
So, for the life of me, why does this place show 4 stars?! Unless there is some kind of hidden hackery going on. Unfortunately, this lowers the CitySearch credibility factor. I'm afraid I will not be coming to this site for any advice on pretty much anything. Because of this, I give CitySearch 1 star.
