Steam handles this problem fairly well, IMO.

They show a graph of positive/negative reviews over time, making review bombing stand out.

If Valve identifies the anomaly as being off-topic they can even mark it as such an exclude the reviews from affecting the overall review scores. Users who don't like this can even disable the exclusion and get the "raw" review score.
