A suggestion for the future: Implement an optional filter for the ratings so that it will show with five stars the range from 4* to 5*. 4.0-4.2 - one star (1.0-4.0 is also one star) 4.2-4.4 - two stars ... 4.8-5.0 - five stars This is because most people can't comprehend how to rate generally good things but which are not perfect on the absolute scale. Relative scale is an even harder concept.

This method won't help of course so in the future you'll need to distinguish so people as "experts" (this is a human task, it can't be awarded statistically - by a number of reviews or anything similar). After that implement separate rating for them.

Even that won't fix biased reviews but will mitigate them considerably. The task of implementing good rankings is a very hard one.

What if I were to just go ahead and list the rating as 4.2 or 4.8 and not show star symbols at all?
