Indeed there are many rating systems where '1' is 'best', 'first-in-rank', 'most-preferred'. I've never seen an online 'stars' system that works that way... but it's possible in some other cultural context a single star is somehow honored more than many, and thus without explanation the star-system could be misinterpreted. (Of course the comments here strongly suggest that's not a factor in this case.)
