2star

Two-star, or 2-star, is a term used to denote a level of quality within various rating and evaluative systems. The exact meaning depends on the framework, but in many consumer guides a two-star rating signals a modest or below-average level of quality, with limited features or services and room for improvement. When ratings use a five-star scale, two out of five is generally interpreted as below the midrange.

In the hospitality and dining sectors, a two-star designation often indicates basic comfort or average quality. By contrast, the Michelin Guide uses a separate, internationally recognized system for restaurants, where a two-star rating denotes excellent cooking and a detour-worthy experience, while three stars signify exceptional cuisine. It is important to note that rating scales can vary by country and publisher, so two stars do not have a universal, fixed meaning across all guides.

Outside formal rating schemes, the term 2star or 2STAR may appear as a brand name, product label, or stylized marketing term. Such uses are independent of standardized quality assessments and should not be treated as indicators of formal ranking.
