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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

This was our second stay at Puerta Azul. We've stayed in both the beachfront and garden cabins, and have been pleased with both locations. We love snorkeling off the dock and all the way out to Spooky Channel. Julie's perfect margaritas and Rose's delicious homemade meals (try her curry snapper fillet) keep us coming back.

United StatesOverall everything was great! My friend and I were bitten a lot by sand flies but this is nothing to do with the property, just a word of advice to bring lots of mosquito repellent or something to relieve the itching from the bites. If you plan on go around town it might be worth renting a car if you would like the ease of moving around.
This property was so relaxing, I loved the layout and the atmosphere. It is right in front of the beach nestled in his own little area. You get the best of Roatan without a lot of tourists on the beach. The sunsets here are so beautiful. The owners and the staff were extremely friendly. They made sure we had what we needed, organized transportation and made sure we were well fed. There is an in house restaurant which is ideal if you plan on just lounging and sitting at the beach front your entire stay! They even have snorkeling gear and floaties, you can go into the water and see beautiful fish and sea creatures. I travel quite a bit and I was impressed, I could definitely see myself returning to Puerta Azul to unplug and reset.

The owners and staff were excellent - courteous, very friendly, and helpful. The staff happily contacted establishments we were interested in to confirm that they were open and what their hours were. The arranged needed taxis. The property was beautifully landscaped. The cabins were well designed and beautifully furnished. Each cabin had an outdoor shower to rinse the sand off. The beach was groomed each morning. There was a long dock that you could swim off of.

United StatesOur rooms didn't have a lockbox in them. We had to carry a lot of cash so it was a bit unsettling to not be able to lock it up and not worry about it. I understand lockboxes have been ordered for our room, but just hadn't arrived (newly built/renovated rooms) so it may no longer be an issue.
Very clean and updated rooms (bungalows). Beach right on property. Staff very helpful with recommendations and taking care of things to make our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, just a great experience. They provide an awesome local breakfast every morning. We really liked the "Chefs Choice" approach that is taken. Plenty of food with fruit and a fun to see what they would treat us to each morning.

United StatesPuerta Azul was everything it promised to be and more. Each morning we enjoyed delicious coffee on the beach followed by a good breakfast on the patio. We enjoyed the intimacy of the outdoor dining area where we met many of the other guests and learned about their Roatan adventures. Our bungalow was clean, well appointed, comfortable and only about 30 steps from the beautiful beach. The snorkeling was among the best in the western Caribbean and so easy to access from the end of the dock. We are already looking at planning a return visit to Puerta Azul!

United StatesNot really amenable for long walk on the beach, but the area in front of the property is nice. Not much within walking distance, so expect to cab to places. The pillows were a bit hard (nitpicking) but the bed was comfortable.
All rooms very close to the beach. Snorkeling was nice off the end of the dock. Day trips available for even better snorkeling. Food was tasty and the staff was super friendly. Room clean, comfortable, showers large with ample hot water.

TaiwanYou can't walk right into the water from the beach to swim since there is alot of sea grass. For swimming you need to go all the way to the end of the dock. The rooms don't always have hair dryer.
We really liked the cabins and our room. We had 3 different breakfasts for each day of our stay and they were all good. We also has two dinners in the hotel restaurant which were great. We really liked the dock and the overall relaxing feeling of the hotel.
