Google says 4.2. MMT says 3.8. TripAdvisor says 4.5. Who's right? RoamAIo aggregates all platforms into one honest, weighted composite score — and explains why they differ.

Each platform attracts a different type of reviewer and uses a different measurement methodology. The same hotel can look "Good" on one and "Excellent" on another — here's why.
MakeMyTrip users are predominantly Indian domestic tourists who may rate value differently than Booking.com users, who include a large share of European and international business travellers.
MMT uses 0–5 stars; Google uses 1–5; Booking.com uses 0–10; TripAdvisor uses "bubble" ratings from 1–5. Normalising these to a common scale is essential for fairness.
Booking.com and MMT only allow guests with confirmed bookings to review — reducing spam and fake positives. Google allows anyone to leave a review, which widens the variance.
Some platforms downweight older reviews aggressively (TripAdvisor), while Google shows a lifetime average. A hotel that recently renovated may score better on time-weighted platforms.
Agoda primarily serves the Asia-Pacific market; its reviewers place higher weight on service and cleanliness over design or local character — factors weighted differently elsewhere.
We weight Google highest (30%) for volume and breadth, Booking.com second (25%) for verified reviews, then TripAdvisor (20%), MMT (15%), and Agoda (10%) — all normalised to /10.
