five-star
Highest quality rating
Five-star describes the highest rating in a system that uses stars to indicate quality, with one star being lowest and five being best.
Hotels, restaurants, and reviews commonly use this scale, so a five-star hotel offers luxury accommodations and exceptional service.
The term extends to anything considered top-tier or excellent: a five-star performance, five-star treatment.
In military contexts, a five-star general holds the highest rank, equivalent to General of the Army.
