This is especially noticeable in locations with lots of tourism. People tend to give higher ratings when they're on vacation, as opposed to locals who are more critical.
That has always been my feeling and has recently been confirmed by a study.
I notice this where i live. Reviews from non spanish speakers tend to be 4 or 5 stars and the locals tend to give 2-4 except for really good restaurants get 5.
