I don't see how they can expect most rides to be a 5* experience. Most hotels aren't 5* hotels. Most films aren't 5* films. What do they think drivers should be doing in order to deliver such an extraordinary experience every time?

People say if it's a normal ride you should give 5* (and I do because I don't want to cause the driver problems if it's been fine), but you don't award a functional hotel room 5*, or award a restaurant 3 Michelin stars because their food was ok.

There should be just a better explanation.

Same as with your mobile phone signal. 5 bars means anywhere from 50% to 100% good signal.

4 stars means 40%. One star 10%.

I think a one star rating is closer to "fire this person immediately" due to grave concerns.
