While I am a regular reader of Tripadvisor, you need to ask yourself who is most likely to write a review? Clearly the most likely review writers are people who are really pissed because they had a bad experience. Maybe second would be somebody who had a really really good experience. So I doubt the numerical balance is particularly meaningful taken in isolation. In my mind for Tripadvisor to be useful you need to read the particulars and "filter" them.
