Description

The star rating is correctly announced by screen readers thanks to some screen-reader-text used in the markup:

By the way, some screen readers (see VoiceOver in the screenshot below) try to read out also the content of empty elements because there's some CSS generated content:

Hiding the stars with aria-hidden="true" will make assistive technologies completely ignore these elements, improving the users experience.
