This. Something I hate is when people think that 5 stars have to be given "by default". For me, an uneventful stay in a clean place should mean 3 stars. If the place is specially nice or the owner was really kind, 4 stars. And 5 stars should only be for my _favourite_ places.
I stopped doing airbnb when, for several times, I booked 4.5 star places and they turned out to be honestly crappy.
People often rate 5 stars but the comments always describe the place in details.
Typically the cheapest places are also the ones where people don't have high expectations so they will rate 5 stars but leave a comment describing the quirks of the place
