## How the customers' Total rating is worked out

Bayesian average: 7 reviews at 3.5 stars added, so a few reviews move it less. The 7 added reviews at 3.5 stars are the weighting Trustpilot publishes for its TrustScore. With this business's figures:

(7 × 3.5 + 2.5 × 156 (SmartCustomer) + 2.6 × 188 (Reviews.io)) ÷ (7 + 344) = 2.6, to one decimal place
