Online reviews can drive me a little crazy. We are looking at some beach houses

The question is why? What is it about Americans that they feel the need to give

Maybe they think 5/5 means it is unbeatable and they doubt that to be the case

If you give every "good" thing 5/5 stars, how do you rate something that is

I guess I would ask the OP why he thinks 4/5 is a bad review.

And a review isn't about assigning blame, its giving others a sense of what

Would you give Motel 6 5 stars if it were clean? Some places just aren’t 5 star

Depends on the Motel 6. I’ve stayed in some that definitely are. It’s all

You should only give 1 or 2 standing ovation in your life.

Have you never attended a school play or concert?

Kids are different. When I review beach houses I'm not worried about the egos

Do you give your kids a trophy everyday or every other day?

5/5 or 10/10 feels like it implies it is perfect, flawless, or the absolute best

“5/5. Just booked it, can’t wait to go!”

Most of those ratings actually seem way more helpful than giving every place 5 stars

It's a balancing act. Some places are better, but they cost more. How does cost

TheNerd
