Why the score — what people flag

Deposit 17

My experience at star 555 was absolutely horrible. The building was still under construction when they promised it would be completed and the staff was unhelpful and rude. When asked for a refund, they did not repay the agreed amount within the stipulated time and we had to follow up with them constantly. When they finally returned the money, it was a significantly smaller amount than what was agreed upon and are still refusing to transfer it in full. It was a very frustrating experience DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Food 18

They won't provide anything mentioned in the brochure. Food quality is poor. Electricity supply is not regular. Washing Machine doesn't work. Drainage problem. Transportation facility is the worst, i would rather recommend BMTC. They don't fullfill your requests. Room cleaning is not regular. They take away your stuff without any notice. WORST PG OF BANGALORE.

Safety 37

They first take security deposit from you telling that you'll be getting it back when you move out of hostel and won't give a single rupee. This has happened to many of the people. Edit: I have spoken to many of your pg residents who moved out and all they speak about is how they didn't get back their advance and they literally break down. I have been to my friend's room for studies and he shared me the tea that the pg provides and it contains nothing but water. I really pity people living in there!

It is my personal experience for those who serching pg for the first timein banglore, I am the student who experienced 8 monthes in this pg. Rs.52,000 just for living, without many good and four members in a room, you have to pay all amount at a time, and they will not respond for your any issue, for example they cut the wifi at the end of every mont at lest for week, they will never refund your 2000 deposit mony, there are many more things. you can get the pg's in the same area, with food and only two members in a room for the same cost. drinking water is very bad, I am personly requesting you please dont enter this pg, it is not worthy even for single star. my hostel life was started from 5th standard but I didn't have the bad experience like this, we all 16 people left this pg and living in the same area more comfortable for less cost,. still we didnt got our deposit mony back. I thing it is a big scam for new comers.

Hi I have stayed here in star 555 for the past 2 years. The owner jiju thomas treats you very well while joining but when you are about to vaccate he is very rude and he will add up some money and forcibly take money from you or threaten you that he not allow you to enter the room even if your rent is paid. The food is very bad and the room service is not upto the mark . ALL RAMAIAH STUDENTS WHO ARE REFFERED BY THE COLLEGE TO COME AND STAY HERE GO THROUGH THE SIMILAR KIND OF SUFFERING . Also my kettle and other things got stolen when I was back home and when I in formed the owner he said it is your fault not our's . Moreover I had cleared all my rent before vaccating . Moving on to the bad review one review might be incorrect but please check all reviews you will get similar kind of sufferings from every student who ever has lived here and vaccated . Just go through all the reviews before joining you will get an idea of how everything works

At the beginning of the admission they'll be nice to you.. and the food here is worst.. we can see rats roaming around in the mess.. they take caution deposit of 1000rs and they'll tell that they'll repay the full amount when u leave the PG but they won't repay the amount.. after asking so many times they just gave 600rs.. they don't even phonepe that amount.. should travel all way to collect it .. weekly's thrice washing machine won't work.. and during the covid time none of them stayed at PG.. but should pay the rent.. I paid 97k(fees for one academic year) in the month of August but stayed there till Feb end(6months) .. when asked for the remaining amount for 6months they didn't pay back.. if by chance if u lose the key even if they have the duplicate key they won't provide they charge 150rs .. I feel it's kind of money seeking.. in July 2020 we had offline exams he didn't let to go and stay there for 2days to take exam.. but should pay full amount.. They're not at all helpful.. during the vacation they won't let anyone inside to pack your things.. only u should go pack everything. .my friend had come to help me they made her stand out.. Never recommend this..!!

🤬🤬My HORRIBLE experiance with star 555pg:: Worst food with worst transport facilities,after paying money no response from authorities,they won't allow to celebrate any festivals,the brochure they provide is just for name sake.Transportation from the college is never regular, they pick you when they want,so better to use public transport. About Food-food is worst with no taste,no enough food to eat,washing machine never works properly. Cleaning not done properly,no open area to put the clothes for drying,hot water facilities are fake for advertisement,toilet drainage are big problem, 24 hrs electricity is not available more problem during exam days Worst experience with zero satisfaction I am a student of the acharya boys star 555 pg Paid full fees with transportation

This is a thorough unprofessional hostel run by a rude man called Giju Thomas. Very poor administration, does not answer phone calls or refund money despite 45 business days after hostel admission has been cancelled. They have been closing hostels after hostels due to poor administration and lack of students. Please do not go by their claims on their website that Star 555 is authorised by Christ University. #fraud #star55hostelscheat #star555unprofessional #gijuthomasfraud #worsthostel #star555fraud

This is one of the worst pg I never saw in my life.I think it is better to stay on footpath compare to this star 555 PG. There is no proper facilities especially food they won't provide in afternoon time. So, If you want to live alive on earth don't join this pg. No proper response from owner.

Coming to this hostel will be a grave mistake. Hostel is dirty, food is not good, items of many students(i.e. price as high as RS.15,000) got stolen from this hostel.According to my experience, hostel owner jiju behaved very good in beginning , showed me a decent clean hostel and within a month after paying the fees of one year, he shifted me along with some other students to a dirty hostel where washroom was horrible, commode seat was broken, shower was not working after that he never picked calls, he always sent his daughter to deal with the situation. Sometimes when he picked calls, he behaved rudely and talk for 2 mins and hanged up the phone. Before pandemic, he asked us to pay the whole year amount as the hostel policy but we had to go to our hometown because of covid and he never gave us refund. A whole year fees we paid for nothing. When I called him for refund , he said that Ramaiah University is behind this. He said that he can't do anything. Everytime he passes the blame to the RUAS.

The worst place please don't put you child here the food they give is not at all good and accomodation is also poor. No connectivity no market place and the nearby area is so bad and worst. Worst owner the way he speaks to parents and the child.

Worst place and they won't repay you the caution deposit (security deposit). Very rude behavior of the owner, I suggest u plz don't join this PG. They were asking to give 5 star rating. So don't trust on 5 star rating.

This is by far the worst experience I had with a PG, they deduct money unnecessarily and have not given the fees refund of my daughter. Owner is really negligent, I recommend joining other PG, anything is better than this.

Worst hostel ever. You will suffer here after paying the full fees. They will cost for the high transportation but provides the worst transportation. Drainage problem is there. No action from the hostel incharge. They will act as they are very serious about the student. But at the end of the day they will go back to the hostel owner. And if you give reviews on Google then they will force you to delete otherwise they will complain to deen. Name - Anand Kumar From star 555 boys pg acharya road Room no. - 301 Fees paid - 100001 rs
