You use the Reviews widget to give the users the option to write reviews and put ratings on pages.

PREREQUISITES: You must set the AllowComment setting for pages to True.
For more information, see Administration: Enable comments and ratings.

NOTE: Be aware that the Reviews widget does not depend on the Enable user ratings as part of the comments setting, which provides the option  have comments and reviews at the same time. The latter setting is taken under consideration to determine whether to display by default comment or reviews for a certain content item, for example News.

The Reviews widget has the same settings as the Comments widget. The main difference between the two widgets is that a user can add only one review per item.
