What it does
A single star rating tells visitors very little about a listing. One person might give three stars because of slow service, while another drops a star over price. This extension lets reviewers score each listing on separate factors, so readers can see where a business does well and where it falls short. Site owners choose the criteria that suit their niche, which means a restaurant directory and a contractor directory can each ask about the things that matter to their audience.
The plugin works inside Directorist and also lists WooCommerce as a requirement. Beyond the ratings themselves, it adds tools that help visitors make sense of the feedback. Readers can vote reviews up or down, sort and filter them by most recent, highest rated or most voted, and report spam or abusive posts. Directory owners get moderation options to approve, edit or delete reviews, and the review features are built to work on desktops, tablets and phones.
Best for
- Local business directories built with Directorist

Features
Multi-criteria ratings
Visitors rate a listing on separate factors like service, price and quality, giving a more detailed picture than one overall star score.
Custom rating criteria
Site owners define their own rating criteria, so the questions reviewers answer match the niche or industry the directory covers.
Written reviews
Reviewers can add written feedback next to their ratings, giving future visitors context about their experience with a listing.
Review voting
Community members can upvote or downvote reviews, which helps the most helpful feedback stand out for people browsing a listing.
Sorting and filtering
Visitors can sort and filter reviews by most recent, highest rated or most voted to find the feedback that is relevant to them.
Spam and abuse reporting
A built-in reporting option lets users flag inappropriate or spammy reviews so they can be dealt with by the site owner.
Admin moderation tools
Directory owners can approve, edit or delete reviews, keeping control over what appears on each listing page.
Works across devices
The review features are designed to work on desktops, tablets and smartphones, so visitors can read and leave reviews on any screen.
