The problem seems to be with class-wc-comments.php
If I use the Woocommerce 2.2 version of this on my dev site the problem goes away.
Is there a fix needed here?
I can see that it is likely this code that is the reason:
/**
* Validate the comment ratings.
* @param array $comment_data
* @return array
*/
public static function check_comment_rating( $comment_data ) {
// If posting a comment (not trackback etc) and not logged in
if ( 'product' === get_post_type( $_POST['comment_post_ID'] ) && empty( $_POST['rating'] ) && '' === $comment_data['comment_type'] && 'yes' === get_option( 'woocommerce_review_rating_required' ) ) {
wp_die( __( 'Please rate the product.', 'woocommerce' ) );
exit;
}
return $comment_data;
}

I’m wary of making any such change to my live site unless someone can confirm it will do no harm.

I see that this behaviour is the result of this ‘fix’
https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/7371
I’m not entirely sure I understand the need for this fix, one removes the ratings HTML and yet still requires that a rating be given? am I misunderstanding something here?
This code change stops admin’s ability to reply to a review, it requests that they supply a rating for their own product from within admin, which is impossible.
So at the moment my client cannot respond to any of their customer reviews from within admin.
