one-star + review
The meaning is directly derivable from its parts: 'one' (the lowest numeral), 'star' (the rating symbol) and 'review' (an evaluation), so a B1 learner who knows those words can infer a poor/lowest-rating evaluation. Star-rating systems and numeral+symbol modifiers are common cross-linguistically and follow a transparent compositional pattern, making the expression immediately understandable.
Etymology
The noun one-star review comes from the simple image of online ratings: if someone gives only one star on a review, they are giving the lowest score and showing strong dislike. So, a one-star review today means 'very poor quality' or that a customer was unhappy.
