Unfortunately the place has a very bad internet connection. It was impossible for us at times to connect to the internet at all.

Casa Trankilo is located in a walking distance to downtown. It is very quiet and scenic and surrounding in nature. Heleen and Arnd are very welcoming and nice hosts.

Wish beach towels were included as part of the stay and that it wasn't buggy. Bathroom towels were a bit stiff and musty.

Loved the proximity to the city center - made for a nice walk to dinner each night. The setting of the rooms is pretty with trees, a pool, outdoor furniture. It's so welcoming. Room was very clean, and we loved having new towels/sheets every 3 nights. We used the outdoor kitchen for our breakfast each day, and for preparing lunch. It was well-stocked with pots & pans, fridge, stovetop, sink, etc. The pool was a great perk to have to cool off at any time. A/C worked great, and fan was nice in the outdoor kitchen.

No complaints would stay again if we visited Bonaire.

We booked a privacy apartment that had its own entrance well worth the money. The location was just outside of town within easy walking distance to bars and restaurants. there was a pool but we did not use it preferring to use the beach.

Very friendly staff and well equipped kitchen. The room was very clean and modern. Every apartment also has a hammock outside which I really enjoyed :) Like the name suggests it, the place is really calm and relaxing. The outsides and the pool are very well taken care of, it's actually so nice just hanging in the hammock and enjoying the garden that you need to take care not to spend your whole time there chilling :)

There was no toaster

Everything worked, supplies were appropriate and the hosts were friendly. It's a basic, simple vacation apartment in a good location with a small pool. This is not a hotel with any high level of service. Good value for Bonaire.

Secluded little oasis right next to the downtown core. Everything you could need on site, with the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. The B&B is within walking distance of the pier, restaurants, grocery markets and shops- making it an excellent location to explore the area on foot. The property was beautiful with canopies of palm trees that make you feel like you’re in an island paradise. It was easy to lose track of time while relaxing and unwinding on the patio. Our room was perfect for our needs, and I absolutely adored having the option to cook meals (and save left-overs) in the provided kitchen. The pool was an essential feature, which we took full advantage of each day, anytime we needed a break from the heat. You might even see a few iguanas that also enjoy their stay at Casa Trankilo greet you while you take a dip. Jan and Lia were wonderful hosts, who are willing to help you with any questions you may have. Their only concern is to make sure you’re having a great, relaxing vacation. As I endure this frosty January winter in Canada, I like to look back and fondly remember when this place was considered to be my home away from home

No complaints.

Beautiful property in loushius garden with swimming pool, large, clean comfortable rooms with wellworking air-conditioning. Our hosts Jan and Lia, were very accommodating, available 24/7, gave us many valuable tips regarding island attractions. We highly recommend this place!

This is a cost (8 apartments) very cost place with a swimming pool, surrounded by greenery. It comes with spacey bathroom and an outside kitchen (great idea in the tropics) where one can prepare simple meals. It located a short walk to the “center” of Kralendijk for an evening once cream or several restaurants. Lia and Jan are great hosts living in the small complex with an open door policy. You can get free snorkeling equipment, rent beach towels and get lots of useful information. A car is a must if you want to explore this small island. You can hire a car from the hosts. The place is strongly recommended.

Nothing. We really enjoyed our stay and will come back if we are visiting Bonaire again.

We were picked up from the airport and because we were a bit hungry and everything was already closed Jan and Lia offered us some yoghurt with muesli and fresh fruit, which was exactly what we needed at that time. We made use of the breakfast service which is really worth it! You can choose a night before what and when you want it and it was so nice! Jan and Lia are really friendly people and always there to help you!

Absolutely nothing.

I loved everything about it. From the stocked outdoor kitchen. To the outdoor spaces to sit and read, the pool lounge area, the iguanas walking around. Oh and don't forget the parrots in the morning they were awesome. I am a solo world traveler and I have been to 16 no 17 countries now. This place is nice but what makes it so special and amazing are the caretakers they are wonderful.... I will remember my experience for the rest of my life.

Pick up from the airport, lushious garden with pool and multiple seating areas, outside kitchen, spacious bathroom with good storage space, walking distance from the centre, though area very quiet, friendly/obliging staff.

Had to bring our own hairdryer and iron but that’s fine. Give travellers correct plug! We had to borrow one!

Easy walk in to town, good restaurants very close and although close to the airport, not bothered by any noise, nice and quiet. Ideal for divers, Deluxe room with private garden was perfect for us.

The room and terrace were really small. I was happy to stay here only with one person and not two

The kitchen was well equiped

The apartment needs maintenance. Walls, floors, doors are up for some serious updates. The automated kitchen light was not set properly and no alternative switch was available.The grass carpet outside was wet, moldy and had a bad smell since the airco was dripping directly on to it. This carpet needs to be removed/replaced as soon as possible. The apartment had some mayor steps leading up to the courtyard and made access very difficult. The fact that the apartment is not wheelchair/walker friendly would have been a reason for me not to rent the apartment. This needs to be included in the information!

Nice location with very friendly hosts. A good place to stay if you don't expect luxury. The private entrance and courtyard were a nice touch. A cooler is available on request by the hosts to use during trips on the island.The 'beachy vibe' of the apartment was very nice.

The lighting in the living room area was very bad, one light bulb in the ceiling flickered after a while which along with the strobe effect from the fan made it difficult to read etc. The wall mounted light at the entrance was burnt out or not working, and the light in the kitchen area is motion activated and would shut off automatically when I was at the far end of the kitchen away from the motion detection switch. Overall I found the suit to be somewhat dark at night. You have to use comcast to watch TV. The kitchen could be somewhat better equipped, ie toaster, measuring cups, large serving spoons, etc. There is no oven.

Great location close to several dive shops and a quick walk to downtown. Nice pool area. I had a deluxe suit that was quiet and private. A/C worked great and ceiling fans helped while sleeping. I liked the outside space and hammock, had a couple of siestas in it. Bed was comfortable.
