How the score works and rating distribution in Big Island of Hawaii

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 47% in Big Island of Hawaii means it ranks in the top 47% of tours in Big Island of Hawaii by this score.
