I can honestly say that I pay little to no attention. I do peruse written reviews, because you can usually get some glimpses of truth out of the patterns in them. But, if something doesn't have 2 stars with a lot of votes, then I don't fret anything ranging between 3-5. I mean, look at this shit:

I recently made the mistake of booking a Travelodge for a trip that thenewgreen and I took together, because it had the most stars (3) for anything with a comparable price. I should have known nothing at that price could be 3 stars.
