Nothing really.

Very friendly, nice and helpful hosts. We were able to benefit from numerous tips (including restaurant tips, we always ate well on bonaire). The apartment has everything you need, including a hotplate, fridge, kettle and coffee machine. The cleaning is about every 4 days, so not daily, which was great for us. Sweet balcony with privacy. We were also allowed to borrow snorkeling equipment. We would love to come back, we can highly recommend it. Big thank you to the hosts!

Not much of anything really! Street parking was easy.

Loved the location and the hosts were amazing! So helpful and full of information. Definitely gave us great ideas on how to plan our stay in Bonaire as well as where to go to avoid the crowds when the cruise ship was in port. Had a cooler we could use on our daily adventures which was awesome, plus a mini fridge for the groceries. Super comfy beds too! Easy walk to the main drag for restaurants and easy to get to supermarkets and the main tourist attractions.

In this modern age of mass electronic communications, a TV would have been nice.

Great personalized service! Mariet met us at the airport, offered a soda when we arrived at Casa Mantana. While we were there for only four days, we couldn't help but feel that we arrived as clients but left as friends. Ton took time from his on-site improvements to visit and their story of striking out just before Covid was quite inspiring- a gutsy decision. Mariet made big superb breakfasts. I went on my own to pick up a couple of things at a grocery store, but didn't return soon, something which really worried my wife. Mariet took charge to try of find me, a fine thing to do to soothe my wife's concern. Our room was adequate but having a private patio where we could drink our morning coffee was a bonus. Also we could enjoy a cold evening drink since we had our own refrigerator. Mariet's local knowledge helped with restaurant suggestions, routes to take and she even arranged for a private island tour!

There is little privacy. The walls are thin and you can hear the other guests. Also lots of mosquitoes.

Nice location with all the facilities available that you’d possible need. The location was really clean, inside and outside with lots of light. The property was located on a good pretty central location close to the city center, a small beach and supermarkets. The owners were nice people. Definitely can recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Casa Mantana. Thoughtful touches throughout the stay included the host giving us access to coolers, snorkeling gear, and various other amenities to simplify our staff. Casa Manta is a short walk away from all the shops/restaurants in town but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. We loved the outdoor patio space and really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, close to lots of restaurants, the supermarkets and the south (best dive sites)

Mariet and Ton went above and beyond to create a charming experience from start to end. Whether I had locked myself out (again), or needed additional storage for scuba gear, they were just around the corner to help me out. After a long day in the heat, I was always thrilled to come back to a clean and adorably lizard-themed studio. I enjoyed the location, which was quiet and a quick walk/drive from many restaurants. I would love to come back in the future!

Very pleasant property and rooms. You feel the care and attention that was put into everything. Spacious. Good facilities. Surprisingly quiet neighbourhood. Ideally located near the city center and centrally situated on the island. The hosts give an excellent orientation around the island on arrival and are at hand to help when needed.

Nothing bad to say!!!

Location, location, location! Short walk to downtown and/or the ocean. A ten minute walk can put you in the heart of downtown Kralendijk or one of the many snorkeling/diving sites. The owners were generous with their time and assisted with any questions I had and always had a suggestion for a restaurant, best sites to visit and best time to visit them, etc. Room was a nice size with a quiet outdoor porch if you want to sit and relax. Highly recommend.

Pillows were a bit too hard to my liking

Great location, all day access. Cute little private seating area outside. Enough space in the room and bathroom. Wifi was good.

Casa Mantana is located close to town and an easy walk to a lot of very nice restaurants. Our room was very comfortable. It had a small kitchen area with a small refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, and hot plate. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the patio every morning. Some nice extras provided were a small cooler and some extra chairs which we took to the beach. The hosts, Mariët and Ton were a great resource on restaurants, snorkel spots, and other helpful information.

Everything was just perfect

Excellent location in good proximity to supermarkets and downtown. Nicely decorated spacious studio with beautiful terrace surrounded by well maintained tropical plants. Mid-week cleaning was a positive surprise. Hosts were welcoming and provided great insights for my daily activity planning. Good quality snorkelling equipment and airport transfer were also provided.

Great location, friendly hosts, excellent value!

Perhaps lack of a microwave or convection oven to cook a greater variety of meals. At times, traffic and music exceeded my comfort level.

Decor and functionality. Self-contained studio for solo traveller. Well-appointed facilities with a lovely ensuite garden area. Boutique style hotel allowed for an engaging and informative rapport with the hosts.

The hosts were amazing and homely. They personalised everything, communicated well. Made sure you were well aware of Bonaire and had the best recommendation in terms of food, activities and some Secret tips only locals can tell ;) They went above and beyond to make my 30th birthday special and im so grateful for them for that. When i come back again im sure to come back to them and would recommend them to everyone i know :)

It was a great experience to stay at Casa Mantana, a lovely place decorated with lots of love, close to the city center and easy to reach by car from any destination! Mariët and Tom are amazing people who helped us in any matter possible, with rent a car, with a lift, with equipment, and tips about the island they do call home now. At the entrance it says “you come as a stranger and. leave as a fiend” and this is what we did! Thanks again for everything! We can recommend this place 100%, if there were more than 5 stars we will give them

The only thing we can think of was a somewhat small shower head, but that is just a small point of feedback compared to the awesome stay we had.

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Mantana! Ton and Mariët were excellent hosts, providing us with all kinds of information about the island. They also kindly arranged the rent of our scooters and car, which was great and last but not least didn’t hesitate to offer taxi services when picking us up or bringing us to the airport.
