Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesFriendly, attentive, and fun staff! Becca, the property manager, was extremely helpful and organized. I received detailed info before the trip not only about our stay at Blue Bahia but about regulations and travel to Roatan, in general. Plus, she relayed tips and advice for daily events on the island. Staff was always available in person or even via WhatsApp with quick responses to my many questions. The kitchen team was super accommodating with my son's food allergies! I'm so grateful! Resort was lovely! We enjoyed a terrific stay!

United StatesWonderful, beachfront accommodations with friendly and very helpful hosts. The studio was clean, spacious, good shower, large fridge, gas stove, convenient nook with seating adjacent to kitchen, keyless entry, purified water. A/C and TV worked well. Be prepared for the occasional island power outage though which can also affect water pressure [restaurant still operational so good time to hang out there if need be ;-)]. The on site restaurant provided good service with food and drinks that were tasty and reasonably priced. Don't leave without trying maybe the best key lime pie ever. Did I mention the especially friendly hosts (Becca and Adam) who make you feel welcome, ready to offer good advice, and provide daily text of island activities that might be of interest. As an added bonus, Sandy Bay Divers is located onsite. They were also friendly, relaxed, and helpful. Current equipment, professional divemasters, experienced boat captains. I enjoyed the scuba diving and felt safe in their hands. Getting out from the Blue Bahia beach front to snorkel is bit difficult and there are boats passing through the area. Best to go while visiting West End or West Bay or arrange a boat tour with Sandy Bay Divers or one of the other nearby snorkel services. There is not much in easy walking distance and it's along a busy road. If you plan on touring the island, I suggest using taxis (Becca has good recommendations) or an organized excursion.

United StatesWe stayed in Studio 2, one of 2 units over the restaurant. It has a huge deck overlooking the bay, with a gorgeous view, comfortable outdoor furniture, and a grill. That deck was *everything*. You do get a bit of cooking aroma with the location, but we didn't find it to be intrusive. We were also never once bothered by noise from the restaurant, which closes at 10 anyway. The windows are well soundproofed. The bed was very comfortable. We like a fairly firm mattress. Air conditioning, which we didn't need much, worked well. Plenty of water pressure. We stopped at Eldon's on the way from the airport and got food to cook a couple of meals a day, then went out for dinners. The Blue Bahia Grill had excellent, nonfussy food, and a very welcoming staff. Their mojitos were quite good, and lobster nights on Wednesday are a total win. The kitchenette in our room was smallish on counterspace but absolutely well equipped for our needs. The area is quite different from the West End. It is peaceful and quiet. There's another hotel restaurant just about 150 feet down the beach. It's about a 8-10 minute cab to get to the West End if you get the itch for other restaurants. The in-house scuba dive shop, Sandy Bay Divers, was great. We dove at least 2x/day every day. They have good new gear and great boats. We never had more than 6 divers, not counting the divemaster, on our boat, and boat rides weren't long to the dive sites. Everything was very well maintained. The kind lady who cleaned our rooms was like a ray of sunshine. We even came back from one of our dives to find that she had peeled and cut up our whole pineapple for us! We definitely expect to stay here again. It was the perfect balance of nice but not fussy, lovely and quiet and functional and sooo relaxing.

The condo is super cozy and well decorated, you can easily tell that the owner has nice taste and good sense of color. The kitchen is equipped with all the kitchen appliances and utensils you may need. The beds are also comfortable. Becca, Adam and Carlos went extra mile to make us feel like being at home. Definitely the resort you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend.

United StatesAbsolutely the only negative and it really has nothing to do with Blue Bahia is our rides back and forth to West End/West Bay did cost us about $20-$25 each way (cash only) so it did add up a bit since we went there a few days during our stay. The beach at Sandy Bay is not really a swimmable beach and we had young children with us that wanted to enjoy the beach but since the cost of Blue Bahia was so reasonable it really was fine in the end.
We spent 5 nights at Blue Bahia and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. It's a beautiful little oasis with the most friendly and helpful staff. If we needed help with rides to West Bay/West End they assisted, they texted us daily specials and happenings in Roatan through what's app, they passed by our rooms to make sure we had what we needed and if we didn't they got it for us like extra swimming or bath towels or extra ice. The restaurant onsite had the best baleadas that we had pretty much every morning and they also cooked up the tuna that my nephew caught while on his deep sea fishing excursion for a very low price they cooked and plated it with some veggies and rice. Overall the food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent as well as the accommodations. The rooms were clean, just the right size for our family of three and the AC was excellent (even got a little too cold one night). We stayed in the tortugas room with a king size and queen size bed. The door to our room was directly in front of the pool so it was perfect for night time swims after our daily excursions. One of our excursions was a scuba dive/snorkel and it was taken directly from the resort so that was also pretty cool. If you are a diver this is an excellent location. I've never in my life seen a reef more beautiful. Overall we loved our stay!

United StatesAs far as location, we had to take daily rides to West Bay beach for swimming.. Other than that, there was only one staff member at the restaurant on the property that was not up to par- made our mornings a bit frustrating- slow service, less than cordial, and always forgot orders. But, the restaurant is a separate owner and separate staff.
Everything! Kim was an amazing host and so helpful. The hotel staff was wonderful. They accommodated our requests, help us get around the island and discover things to do. The property was clean and convenient. Great spot for scuba diving and next door to dolphin encounters. The beds were comfortable, the AC in our room was wonderful, the service was great, the bedrooms were roomy and pretty, the decoration and design was inviting. Loved everything about Blue Bahia.
