How the score works and rating distribution in Mount Pleasant
- 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 9.2. Top 4% in Mount Pleasant means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in Mount Pleasant by this score.
