one star

Worst possible review

One star is the lowest rating on a five-star scale, indicating severe dissatisfaction or poor quality.

Reviews, hotels, restaurants, and products receive one star when they fail to meet basic expectations: I left a one-star review after the package arrived damaged.

As an adjective, one-star describes something of minimal quality or, in military contexts, a brigadier general's rank.
