Reviews are just extended WP comments so should be governed by the same rules I think.
IE, if in your WP settings you’ve set only registered users to submit comments, that should be extended to the review form.
Likewise if you add a captcha plugin to add a captcha input to comment forms, it should be added to the review form too.
Thanks

thank you that worked but now I have a new problem.
when you “log in” from that review link it goes to the wordpress page, however, I use woocommerce and I really don’t want my users to think they are going to an entirely new place. do you now how I can fix this?
the page is on easyengrave.com for you to check what I mean if it’s not clear.
Thank you.
in relation to my last post, I found a stop-gap measure for now. its not great, but there are plugins to make a “custom” login page.
It would be nice do something that still uses the basic page layout, but a custom login page is better than a stock wordpress login page.
Add following arg in single-product-reviews.php
$comment_form = array(
'must_log_in' => sprintf( __( 'You must be <a href="%s">logged in</a> to write a review.'), get_site_url() . '/my-account'),
)

On to top of whatever form comments u have. this will allow you to customise the text u want to show when user is not logged in.
Oops
I meant
'must_log_in' => sprintf( __( 'You must be <a href="%s">logged in</a> to write a review.'), get_site_url() . '/my-account'),
Remember the href.
