Suspicious-review evidence
≈250 possibly bought · 712 top-rated reviews scanned
Explain how it works
We compare every 5★ review's word count against the global distribution. Hostels where unusually many top-rated reviews are suspiciously short — way under the typical length — start to look like the staff (or a boost-my-listing service) is padding the score with throwaway praise.
The detector flags reviews that are both top-rated and below a length threshold, then estimates how many of them statistically shouldn't exist. For this hostel we scanned 712 top-rated reviews and 1% were suspiciously short.
Length z-score: 18.99. A z-score measures how far this hostel's distribution of 5★ review lengths sits from the global average, in standard deviations. 0 = perfectly typical. 1–2 = slightly unusual but within normal noise. 3–5 = strongly anomalous. Anything 10+ means the pattern is so far from the global norm that it's effectively impossible to get there organically.
This is a heuristic, not a verdict — it surfaces hostels worth a second look, not proof of fraud. Read the actual reviews below and judge for yourself.

reviews are fake
I guess most of 5 star reviews are fake for this hotel. Worst ever breakfast in the Mumbai. I will never trust OYO photos in future. OYO, you should add photos for surroundings as well. So people will understand that they should not spend more than Rs.1200 for such a place.

reviews and taken a chance to book. But I did a mistake, paid
If you are coming with family and not comfortable with cigarette smell, than this is not for you. I have seen mixed reviews and taken a chance to book. But I did a mistake, paid 3000 but don't have basic requirements. Beds are very bad, bedsheets are smalling. It will have zero ventilation No parking, but the manager kindly arranged some for me. But it has some good points as well, 1. Helpfull staff 2. Very near to US visa center( 5 min in car ) 3. Rooms, bathrooms and outside rooms are maintained as per photos, it's very clean but horrible cigarettes small. I have not ordered any food , so can't comment.

reviews came are all fake
Honestly speaking don't know in which angle they are 3 star property because they don't even comes in 1 star. If will talk about the entrance then it's horrible, if we talk about the rooms they are dirty, horrible, dusty, stinky, giving used linen, not changing it and even hair on bed. The pictures what they have put on website or any social media the rooms are completely opposite A huge no for anyone who are planing to book stay there, don't just go the photos uploaded there, that is all fake, they just fool people by showing attractive pictures Even the reviews came are all fake they are the local people from the same hotel uses their friends or family id to put the review the moment they get bad review We literally because of the 3rd class rooms have to step out at 12 am midnight. We were not able to stand or breathe there even for 2 sec.
