They're 0-100 in the database, but some ways of looking at the data do
still return 1-5 values, somewhat confusingly. The /ws/1/rating
endpoints seem to do 1-5, where the /ws/2/rating ones do 0-100 (which is
perhaps reasonable, since that was a major upgrade). However, adding
?inc=user-ratings in the WS also returns 1-5, and the site interface
only allows setting multiples of 20 (i.e. 1-5 stars), though it'll still
display the other values.

So in principle they're 0-100 everywhere, but in practice there's places
that are basically only 1-5 stars. YMMV, etc.

We discussed some of the particularities and peculiarities of this in a
thread starting at
http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-devel/2015-February/005933.html
(though the start of the thread was for another issue)
