This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where a non-existent review and a one-star rating are displayed on their WordPress site, despite the database showing zero reviews and ratings for all translations of the product.
Solution:
We recommend that you first ensure you have a full backup of your website. Then, deactivate WPML and related plugins to check if the review and star rating still appear. This step will help determine if the issue is related to WPML or another aspect of your site.

If the problem persists, it might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to see reviews correctly on my WordPress site. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link.

Symptoms:
I expected to see no review and no star rating, but instead, I got 1 non-existent review and 1 star rating.

Questions:
Why is there a non-existent review showing?
Why is there a star rating when there should be none?

In addition, in the database I see for all the translations of this product:
_wc_average_rating 0
_wc_review_count 0
_wcml_average_rating 1.00
_wcml_review_count 1
_wcml_rating_count a:1:{i:1;i:1;}

Hey there,

Thank you for waiting. I checked, and the review shows in all languages.

Please make sure to have a full website backup, deactivate WPML and related plugins and check if the review is still there. Let me know what the results are.

I'm talking about the issue itself. In all languages, I see the one star review (check image attached).
