• Dennis (6/5): Decent .. but the owner took 45m to return to the place to check me in which i was not happy about - Good space It was all round ok nothing really wrong
• Sof (7/5): -
• Deborah (8/5): Just one night. - One night - left early. No breakfast available.
• Suvenka (1/5): - By arrival there was no one to receive us, we called the number a very disrespectful man answers that we doesn't have any reservation and that they where full, without even ask our names to confirm that we indeed had a reservation and hangup on us while we was still trying to explain who we are, when called back, the phone has been powered off, leaving us with headache trying to find somewhere to stay at that moment off the night, so I'll never booked and never recommend no one to stay there. BAD Treatment ever received.
• Gomez (8/5): -
• Gustav Wilhelm (10/5): - Virker bare
• Bayona (7/5): - La ubicacion y la atencion. Todo estaba bien.
• ROB (6/5): Op zich goede locatie alleen mijn kamer heeft wel een upgrade nodig . - Locatie en en het restaurant. Bed was verouderd. Douche niet goed regelen.
• Melisa (7/5): - No miniature desajuno Faltaba kosas en la bitason si terminar
• Michael (10/5): The lodge bonaire is awesome - Jolonda was excellent, friendly and attentive. English was very good, I liked that she spoke Dutch as well. Very affordable accommodation for that area and great access to kralendijk. It was unfortunate Suriname restaurant wasnt open. Perhaps next time? Awesome job I cannot think of anything at this time
• Jansen (9/5): Het verblijf was super - Kleinschaligheid van de locatie.
• Chris (5/5): Lokatie van accommodatie was wel goed. Centraal. - De restaurant Roos, was top! Aardige bediening en lekkere eten. Zeer vriendelijk. Kamers waren vies, muffe geur als je binnen komt, badkamer ook een muffe geur. Meerdere kakkerlakken in de badkamer/kamer. Dit is gemeld in de lijn, geen actie van personeel. Ook niet gezien of acties waren ondernomen. In Booking.com staat shuttlebus vliegveld en accommodatie, in werkelijkheid hebben ze dit niet. Verder ook op de site, verhuur van brommer, helaas was dit ook niet mogelijk. Ik had de accommodatie juist gekozen voor bovengenoemde punten.
• Jose (7/5): -
• Rashel (6/5): -
• Robert (10/5): The staff was wonderful and accommodating. We appreciated them very much. Also rented a scooter and had a great experien - Location and friendly staff Nothing!
• Timothy (10/5): Top service -
• Ludwig (4/5): The gasses in the badroom was my probleem. I had to keep the badroom door closed. - The place is okey. I did not like the bathroom. It stinks, because the sewage pipe of the sink was not odor free connected to the one in the floor. There must be a rubber machete connection in the floor to avoid the sewage gas to pass through in bathroom. As an expert I know the gas out of the sewarage is butane gas and is bad for your health. I understood that all the bathrooms has the same bad connection probleem. The authoritees must be put aware of that.
• Marina (1/5): -
• Eric (1/5): - Wilde omboeken naar een dag later. Helemaal niemand bereikbaar. Niet per whatsapp, telefoon en/of booking! Zeer slecht dus!
• Arucamba (4/5): Goed voor een of maximaal twee zakelijke overnachtingen anders naar een betere accommodatie. - Lokatie is goed in verband met het zakelijke adres waar we moesten werken. Badkamer was wel goed. Keuken schijnt wel goed te zijn van horen zeggen. Inrichting erg oud, bedden minimale comfort, geen Televisie, geen koffie apparaat, wel melk en suiker!!!!
• Tijmen (4/5): Verschillende tegenvallers - De locatie In de notities van een boeking op booking.com staat een standaardzin over de annuleringsvoorwaarden. De eigenaar heeft de notitie niet gelezen, alleen het woordje ‘annuleren’. Hierdoor dacht hij dat we niet kwamen en was hij zelf al weggegaan. Dit terwijl we in onze booking duidelijk onze check-in tijd i.v.m onze vlucht hadden aangegeven, en dit is goedgekeurd door de host. “Gelukkig” was hij in de buurt, kwam hij terug en had nog een kamer. Hij zei dat hij al bijna lag te slapen. De kamer zelf was voor zover het leek nog middenin een renovatie. Het rook erg naar verf, en stonden nog ingepakte materialen in de hoek, en de badkamer was nog niet afgewerkt. De douche werd ook niet warm.
• Nadia Soledad (4/5): -
• Elvis (7/5): Dit gaat wel goedkomen - De denk wijze om de complex weer op voeten te zetten Achterstallige onderhoud

• Zaynaris (1/5): I will not stay here even it is for free - Nothing Its a super dirty place
• Ichel (1/5): I went there, but I didn't stay because the place was dirty. It smelled bad. I don't recommend it -
• Derek (9/5): Waiting for Flight Connections.ĺ - The air-conditioning was excellent. And the water pressure was strong with a nice supply of hot water. There was a lack of soap in the room for both dishes and in the shower.
• Sharina (6/5): Pleasant -
• Davis (6/5): Pleasant -
• Maduro (7/5): Good - I didn't have breakfast There was no television
• Daveney (1/5): Bad -
• Rugiani (8/5): To check the room before the guest enters -
• Henry (8/5): Very good - The cleaness No TV!
• Kenneth (9/5): Awesome. - Almost everything Some lighting issues at night.
• Salsbach (6/5): Pleasant -
• Marilyn (5/5): Passable - the person that was cleaning the rooms, help us friendly with things in the room. It was no easy to find the location. The address was not the one on the side. Also I ask a room for 3 person and I have to pay for 2 rooms. That was expensive for a 1 night, because we came only for the funeral of a member of our family.
• Blue (5/5): Passable - Spacious, A/C, nice shower, kitchenette. Short walk to downtown. Kitchen Trash was full when we arrived and we never could get a new bag (only there 1 day). Staff didn’t speak English well.
• Viviana (7/5): Perfect affordable central location - Location. The peace you have here. Possibility to eat there at night. For the price it’s amazing for the location. But also don’t expect something super fancy. The bed wasn’t really comfortable.
• Danusa (1/5): Never again - Good Location They triet to charge me twice for the stay not nice of they. They where not nice at all
• Brachelo (3/5): Cheap and poor experience unless this is what you like, you will feel at home. - the location is very center to the capital, so everything is nearby the rooms was not very clean and the Wi-Fi was very bad. and it keeps disconnecting every couple of minutes. and worse of all no soap in the bath room. so if you want to stay, come with your own.
• Colin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rugiani (8/5): Very good - Warm shower the bed is comfy lots of space
• Yvonne (7/5): Good -
• Nihaila (8/5): Very good -
• Nihaila (8/5): Very good -
• Nelson (5/5): Passable -
• Jodea (9/5): Great location and a clean, large, simple room - Just 2 km from the airport and an easy walk to town with plenty of food choices. Grocery stores nearby. Quiet location. Onsite restaurant makes delis, reasonably priced food Room was clean and quite large. Kitchenette was nice though you have to put the coffee maker on the floor to reach an outlet. Food in Bonaire’s is expensive so being able to make breakfast and lunch was a huge savings. There were no scissor or a knife sharp enough to cut veggies but we made due. The parking area was a mud pit while we were there. Sometimes hard to reach someone when you need something. We were there 8 nights and the room was cleaned once when we asked. The room could use a bit of decoration and an outlet in the kitchen. Hooks or a towel bar to hang wet towels would be nice. Also no place to hang wet swimwear
• Rossy85 (1/5): Horror movie - Just the location was good! Well.... the picture can talk alone.I have always trusted Booking for my trips, but from now on, I will do things differently. I chose this hotel because Booking listed it as a 3-star property, but in reality, it’s more like 3 stalls. The name is different from the actual one, so it can not be found online—something I unfortunately failed to notice beforehand. The bed was so uncomfortable that you could feel the springs digging into your back, everything was dirty, and the pillows were beyond words. The towels had an awful smell. After three days, sewage started coming out of the shower, and the stench was unbearable—it made me want to cry. They moved us to another room, which was even worse than the first one, and had no hot water. It was a nightmare. Then, despite the fact that we were on vacation, they decided we needed to return to our original room, which they claimed had been cleaned. This nearly caused us to miss our ferry because the staff didn’t know what they were doing. On the last day, it rained, and water started leaking inside, right onto the bed, with pieces of plaster falling down because there was also a hole in the ceiling. Saying I’m shocked is an understatement. However, what makes me angriest is that Booking doesn’t seem to conduct any checks or ensure that the information provided by hotels is accurate. This was the worst experience of my life.
• David (9/5): Great value accommodation in Bonaire - Valetta and her team were wonderful hosts. She even organized an early check in for me at the next property in the island. The place was a great value for Bonaire standards. You will read negative reviews, but please lower your expectations of this basic hotel and you'll be a lot happier with what you get for your money here. Yes, the beds are old, but we slept soundly for 2 nights. The place must have been great at one point, but the location is still central and walking distance to many spots. And no, there was no loud noise from the restaurant, they close well before you go to sleep.
• Palomino (7/5): Convenient, but bring own soap. - The location, the room No a single small soap bar in bathroom. I wish I had known I had to bring my own. Had to go to convenient store to buy some. Also, toilet bowl wasn’t very clean. Also, had a hard time finding it as it says The Lodge, not Bonaire 2 Stay Playa
• Emma (7/5): Good value for price - Lovely little property! More for the younger crowd I would say, but very much enjoyable. Bathrooms were a bit dirty and our towels were taken from our room and not replaced, but as Canadians we always make do! The place is actually called the lodge, which helps when a taxi is trying to find the location. Restaurant was closed, and they do not do airport shuttle service or transportation rentals, although it is listed in their booking.

• Karen (8/5): Very good -
• Leonora (8/5): Very good -
• Manuel (5/5): Passable - Not Poor
• Michelle (6/5): Pleasant - Cute, great value, close to airport. Rooms are off crowded restaurant area
• Casey (10/5): Exceptional - Great spot for us, thank you
• Tico (9/5): Superb -
• Shuraino (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (1/5): Horrible place!!! Not safe!!! - That the accommodation was near the city The room had only one bed which was not what we reserved. On booking they don't show a picture of the bed. This should have been our red flag but we didn't give it much thought. When we went to sleep the front door kept slamming thru out the whole evening because of the wind. We could not sleep because of that. On top of that a drunk man came at 2 a.m. screaming in the place for someone to open a room for him. We even had to call the police. We ended up leaving the place at 3 a.m. in the morning to look for another place to sleep. The tenants didn't bother answering our app about the incident until we kept messaging them. Our experience was horrible and we still didn't get an refund. A nightmare experience my daughter and I will never forget.
• R.j. (8/5): Very good -
• Betty (5/5): Passable - We did not order breakfast Not clean. No tv.
• Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hermann (8/5): Very good - The owner was very accommodating and tried his best to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We'd stay again Due to issues outside the control of the lodge, there was a bad smell for a few days outside the room. We didn't feel it inside.
• Yannick (8/5): Very good -
• Richelien (7/5): Good - Good & cozy Didn’t have a smart TV
• Iakim (9/5): Superb - Silence and calm place. Pleasant relation of personal. Free parking by the hotel. Flexibiliteit of the checkout. The restaurant was not open by breakfast time. So I used it only once and was not impressed much.
• Wanga (8/5): Very good -
• Tobias (9/5): Superb -
• David (7/5): Good -
• Pat (5/5): The lodge - Big room with air conditioning. Small kitchen. Not too far from supermarkets, airport and city center, especially by car. Good new shower. This is actually The Lodge. Can be pretty loud because of the Surinam restaurant or people hanging out on the patio at night. Very basic bedding and kitchen.
• Anna (5/5): Passable - The location was great, very close to the city center and the pier with nice restaurants. The room was clean and had a new bathroom. I would definitely recommend adding more cooking facilities and changing the mattresses, as they were too soft. Communication and organization of this property were a pure tragedy, so be ready for 'self-service.' After reading all the reviews, I shouldn’t have been surprised. I needed to rent a car, so I first tried to contact the WhatsApp number provided in the Welcome Message I received from the property on Booking.com. The number wasn’t working, so I replied to the message on Booking, asking about the car. The communication was extremely slow and unprofessional for a 3* hotel (they didn’t even say hello in the email or include a signature).When I texted them that I was already in Bonaire and asked if I could come the next evening to pick up the car, they stopped answering. I sent two more messages but received no response for two days. When I arrived for check-in, I didn’t even ask about the car, but the woman immediately started talking about it, saying in very poor English that there was a problem with the car and that’s why she hadn’t texted me back. I’m not sure if this is normal for Bonaire standards, but if I were running a hotel, I would communicate with my guests and know at least basic English and business correspondence standards. I am absolutely not surprised that this property has such bad reviews.
• Colin (1/5): Avoid!!! - The aircon was good. New unit. False advertising - Although advertised as different named accommodation, it is a place called "The Lodge". "Room cleaned every 2 days". I was there 6 days, room not cleaned once. "Bed & Breakfast". You pay extra for breakfast but no one ever there. "TV in room". No TV in room. "Internet/wifi". Very slow and drops out continually day & night. Smell of sewage in room. Unfriendly, unwelcoming, unhelpful & rude owners. Bad lighting in room. Overpriced. In my 14 years on the road travelling around this beautiful planet, this is one of the worst experiences I have encountered. The owners are not nice people. I donot reccommend staying here.
• Blackbetta (8/5): A good value for a solo traveler or couple. - Friendly staff The tv was snowy and the bed was two small beds pushed togeyhet
• Jorenda (7/5): Good - Location was good
• Fabianne (10/5): It was amazing - It was verry private It did not have a tv
• Shanti (8/5): Very good -
• Richardson (8/5): it was perfectly located, very safe -
• Jack (5/5): Passable - Cheap ( it only relative to other options) Kitchenette was kinda terrible lacking many utensils or equipment.
• Cristina (10/5): Unexpectedly comfortable studio. Fully equipped to help you save money. - Very simple and equipped with everything you need. I was not expecting such a large studio. I was expecting just a mere room. I’m a local who’s a/c broke and needed a quick stay until the a/c got fixed. Most lodging in Bonaire don’t accept booking for one night. I will book again in the future . Wifi was down
• Danusa (7/5): Good -
• Shiomi (6/5): Pleasant -
