Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThe facility is located on the corner of busy intersection and I was concerned about the noise level. However, my room was quite. There was some nightlife music and noise from people at closing time, but was not audible inside the room.
The motel is located on the San Jose Alameda. There are ample restaurants and homes with beautiful architecture off the main streets. I'll definitely return. Great value.

GermanyThe motel is beginning to show its age and--with a bit of work--it would be even better. The rugs seem to hold smells and then the cleaning agent is a bit off-putting. However, with a small investment this place would be even better. We will continue to stay there as it has many plusses.
We have stayed at the Flamingo Motel many times in the past few years. We enjoy the solidity of the rooms and the comfortable beds. The towels are soft and absorbent and the shower/bath is also in good shape. The motel has good "bones" and was well constructed. One can see it in some of the details (solid doors, solid surfaces, nice moldings, attractive shutters, etc). It is very near a number of eateries as well as interesting areas (Rose Garden, Egyptian Museum, town center) sites. There is also parking there.

United States of AmericaDated rooms but they are very clean
This hotel offers bang for the buck. We stayed there to be close to SAP arena as its only a 15 minute walk away and they offer free parking. The hotel is clean and in a decent neighborhood. If I had go back to San Jose - I'd stay there again.

AustraliaIt's an older hotel, but in very good condition and very clean. The staff were also very friendly and the free onsite parking a great bonus. The location is perfect if you're in town to attend a game or event at the SAP center as it's only a short stroll away. A nice cafe also directly across the street.

United States of AmericaIt’s located at a high-trafficked cross section and entering parking lot is a little challenging. The outside area looks like a motel 6. The room felt dim.
The bathroom looked recently remodeled, the room looked clean. The office smelled good.

AustraliaOur bed sheets had big yellow stains on them. You could tell the sheets were clean but perhaps don't use sheets that have big stains as it's a bit off putting.
Can't beat the price of the room. We loved how you could walk to downtown or the SAP Center so easily.

United States of AmericaNothing, everything was perfect.
There is free parking, it was really easy for me to find a spot. The employee that greeted me was super nice. There is also a lot of food choices close by, so I didn't need to rely on DoorDash. I attended a concert at the SAP Center, and this motel was perfect for my needs.

United States of AmericaOur room was not yet ready when we arrived about 30 minutes after check-in time. Had to wait about 15 minutes. Lighting not so great for applying makeup. Dim yellow bulbs. Also the first motel I've ever been in that did not provide Kleenex.
This place was much cleaner and up to date than you would expect. Nice hot shower. Clean carpet. I liked that the bed sat on top of a bed box so that nothing can be lost underneath the bed, including dirt and dust. Lots of tv channels to choose from. Fridge and microwave were a plus!

United States of AmericaThe big complaint I have about the whole stay was when we tried to go to sleep there was a light out side our room that was very bright and shown through the blinds no matter what.
I liked the location of the motel it was in a convenient location for food and drinks and the sap center. I had very little interaction with staff other than checking in, but when I did, they were very nice. The room was clean.
