Hi Bach, what a fine place you have created here. The peace, the pool, your hospitality, the dogs, it is so enjoyable. The garden is a fantastic relaxing place.
Next year we will come back for 5 weeks!!! Really worth to experience this once.

First time on Bonaire and definitely not the last! We enjoyed our stay for 10 days! The studio is lovely. Very different from an all inclusive resort but we never choose that anyway. We enjoyed the tranquility and the beautiful place. We rented a scooter which brought us to Kralendijk within 20 minutes. The distance to the beach is easy to walk (10 minutes) as is a small supermarket (15 minutes walk). The studio has everything you need and if something is missing or you want to know something, you can just ask Bach. Bach walks around daily but mostly lets you do your own thing. Not too many rules but mostly common sense and respect is the magic word! We love it! The pool is ideal for cooling off and your own covered terrace is perfect for taking in the day. The "Blo blo" comes daily to see what to get and eat out of your hand... We were there from November 4 to 14. The "end" rainy season keeps things exciting but did not bother us with the exception of the huge amount of mosquitoes that come to seek you out at dusk. Fortunately, the studio has excellent mosquito nets. Bach, super thanks for your hospitality and friendliness! We really had a vacation and will definitely come back! Cheerzzz Ronald and Siets

Ed and I spent the month of June (4 weeks) in the cozy and neat studio and what we enjoyed.
For the 3rd time on Bonaire and ready for peace and quiet, well we found that at Kas Oleifi .
Beautiful garden, nice pool and Bach always in the background if you needed him .
Top top top we will definitely come back to Kas Oleifi if we ever go to Bonaire again .
Thanks Bach for everything!!!

Had a super stay for 10 days! Great garden with pool, clean room, great bed, nice outdoor kitchen! Beach within walking distance, what more do you want, really enjoy!!! All the info you want to know, Bach can tell you everything about the island, especially regarding diving! Highly recommended if you want to discover Bonaire!

Chris Adrieaans, personal review, May 2024

Kas Oleifi is a wonderful place to relax. In the beautiful garden with several places to sit, you can enjoy the adjacent green hinterland (kunuku). The room is cozy and clean. The outdoor kitchen with veranda invites you to enjoy the outdoors. Ideal location for water sports enthusiasts. Host Bach is helpful and together with the little dogs who occasionally come to neighbor you make you feel welcome.

Toine and Remkje*****review on Google, May 2024

Excellent Bonaire-style accommodation! The welcome was literally and figuratively warm as the owner picked us up at the airport and had provided a stocked refrigerator. He made us feel welcome and gave us great tips for things to do on the island. This way we were quickly settled in and enjoyed a wonderful vacation. The cottage was fully equipped with air conditioning and 'van and the beds were lovely. The well-kept garden had a swimming pool so you could just cool off.
I can definitely recommend this accommodation!

Tyra Thielman*****review on Booking.com, May 2024

Bonaire was great and Kas Oleifi is a beautiful and nice place to stay! My girlfriend and I were able to stay at the beautiful Kas Oleifi for 12 days. The accommodation is very nicely decorated and fully equipped with enough privacy. You have a very clean studio with a comfortable bed, clean shower and a nice kitchen. Also the location of the place is ideal and close to beaches and restaurants especially by car. The host is a very friendly man who was very hospitable and helpful. Our thanks to Bach for making us feel comfortable and providing what we needed. It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy your rest. We definitely recommend this studio!

Adriana Gomes*****review on Booking.com, April 2024

Bonaire is fantastic! Even more so when you stay in a place like Kas Oleifi Studios where you feel at home! Beautifully decorated, the studios have all the amenities you need to enjoy a good time, whether in the large outdoor area, with several niches and a delicious pool to relax after diving in the clear waters of Bonaire, or in the indoor facilities, with comfort. and quality. Even cooking on the balcony is a pleasant experience, from where you can observe the forest and listen to the birds singing while waiting for the food to be ready. The location is also perfect, with a quiet neighborhood. Despite the proximity of the airport, there are not many flights and the noise from landings and takeoffs is not bothersome. Bach is a first-class host! I just have to thank you! Certainly, when I return to Bonaire, this is where I will stay again.

Fred and Isabelle*****review on AirBnB, March 2024

We had a wonderful vacation. Bach picked us up from the airport , the fridge was stocked and the studio clean. The garden is lovely and quiet with a nice pool and the dogs very sweet. Definitely to be repeated. See you in 2 years

 

 

Anke Hansl*****review on AirBnB, February 2024

Our stay with Bach was wonderful. He is the perfect host. He gave us many tips to explore the island. He designed his outdoor space with so much love. The two dogs are in love and I will miss their morning greetings very much. I can only recommend his studios. Thanks again Bach for allowing us to spend such wonderful days with him.

Ad and Yvonne Nagtegaal, personal review, January 2024

In January 2024 we had a wonderful stay for the third time
at Kas Oleifi.
After a long journey we were picked up from the airport in the evening and
there was a drink ready in the fridge. Breakfast for the
next morning was also provided.
The new beds sleep wonderfully and it is nice and quiet in the garden.
Living and cooking outside every day. It was a treat again.
If we had a question Bach always responded quickly and solved it.
Next time we go to Bonaire we will definitely come back.

Marinus Baak *****review on AirBnB, January 2024

A nice stay with spacious garden with pool and nice sunbeds and chairs. Nice and quiet only a few planes landing and taking off we love that. Nice host with tips and clear explanation of the stay. Bach had even arranged a drink for the evening and breakfast on arrival really super nice. We had a great time here definitely recommended.

Harald Kos, personal review, January 2024

Single traveler. Kas Oleifi is an ideal place to completely unwind. I stayed there for a week and am only positive. Felt nice and very welcome there. Totally focused on outdoor living. With a terrace, outdoor kitchen and a lovely garden, incl. pool for cooling off. Also the two dogs are cozy and regularly come to 'neighbor'. Beds are also fine. I would recommend arranging some form of transportation. Bicycle, scooter or car. The owner is very quiet. Lets you do your own thing and is easily accessible for questions or advice/tips. A rightly positive review. Regards, Harald

Rene Bruinsma *****review on Google, January 2024  

Definitely a place to return to.

The welcome by host Bach, proudly explaining the large garden full of seating, barbecue, pool and shower that you absolutely had to use. "And especially ask if you are missing or want to know anything." We did so with always a quick and a better than expected answer.

The porch with the outdoor kitchen and pre-stocked refrigerator also made us very happy.

René and Petra Smit, personal review, December 2023

Review? We would like to book in advance for next year, and then twice as long. And if possible, we will come back even earlier!

Stefan Kwetters *****review on Google, December 2023

9 days we stayed with Bach in Kas oleifi.

The studio is fully equipped, large fridge/freezer, many pans, dishes and storage boxes, good beds, fan + air conditioning (air conditioning is not necessary because it is lovely and breezy). Towels, beach towels everything is there.

Outside then is the shared garden which is very large, beautiful and clean. Equipped with several seating areas, pool, bbq place and lights which illuminate the garden beautifully at night.

If you like diving/snorkeling this island is the place to be, also Bach has several snorkeling gear lying around that you can borrow like that, as well as a cooler, cooler bag and beach shoes.

As for transportation, when you are not diving rent a scooter instead of a car. The freedom you get in return is unprecedented, great to explore the island and be able to get to almost everything, perfect!

The little dogs are very sweet and absolutely not annoying, they come and lay with you if you want them to, if not they walk on without any problem.

In short, a perfect base for a relaxing and timeless stay.

 

Lex de Weille, *****review on Google, November 2023 

Great 10 days spent at Kas Oleifi! Very comfortable spacious studio, nice outdoor kitchen with large fridge and a large garden. Nice to be able to cook or make your own breakfast. Bach helps with scooters and interesting trips! The dogs are cozy on the property! Nice swim every morning in bachelors beach, near the apartment! We enjoyed it!

 

 

Sarah Thinius, personal review, November 2023 (translated from German)

There were two of us and we rented both apartments from Bach. They are connected by a large terrace. The rooms are beautifully decorated and, of course, each apartment has its own bathroom. The kitchens are on the terrace, so you can always be outside when you prepare something. I really liked that, you always look straight into the well-kept garden, which also invites you to linger. There are plenty of seating and sunbeds, both on the terrace and in the garden, and a pool to cool off in. The kitchen has a good supply of crockery and cutlery, pans etc. The whole area is clean and well maintained. There are towels and also beach towels.If you need something that is missing, you can always contact Bach, he will make everything possible.
We were picked up from the airport at no extra cost. At the reception we even received food, such as cheese, bread, butter, coffee, tea and a bottle of wine.
Bach spent an afternoon with us in his free time and showed us some of the sights of the island. Totally great, you learn and see things you might not have learned about as a tourist.
From the apartment you can easily reach other points on the island by car, or you can also walk to a nearby beach. It is located in a nice and quiet residential area, close to the airport. However, I did not find the airplane noise very annoying, as there are not many planes landing and taking off every day.
I highly recommend the accommodation and would book there again at any time if I fly to Bonaire again.

It was very versatile and I explored everything possible during that time. Bonaire is great.
The personal contact, very helpful, familiar, everything was satisfactory

Gerlinde Mulder *****review on Google, September 2023

 

For the fifth time on Bonaire, for the second time at Kas Oleifi.
This time with my daughters and we had both studios at our disposal. Lovely garden, in the morning it looked like a broadcast of National Geographic. The beautiful birds, lizards, frogs, plants and trees. Outside the fence you can regularly see donkeys and goats.
The studios are super clean, nice beds, fully equipped and Willy provides snacks, drinks and first breakfast. Willy and Bach are welcoming and helpful. So are the doggies. And, of course, the island is great.
Again, worth repeating!

Willie Zweers *****review on Google, April 2023

Dear Willy and Bach
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. Our expectations were high given all the positive reviews. Our expectations came true. A lovely garden to relax in. A beautiful spacious studio with lovely beds. We completely agree with the reviews we have read. This vacation is definitely worth repeating.
Greetings Marian and Willy

The way to spend relaxed vacations!

Rose*****review on Google, January 2023

After a short flight from Aruba, I was picked up from the airport fairly early in the morning by Willy. We had exchanged pictures so immediately recognized each other. On the way with all the windows open, the island vibes happily met me.

Upon arrival a happy greeting by the 2 very sweet dogs.
The studio immediately felt like "home" and that was delicious.
The large garden is beautiful and you should not be surprised if there are also donkeys, goats, lagadishis, frogs and iguanas along. The donkeys and goats are outside the garden behind the fence.
It is close to the airport but we have not experienced the noise of the planes as disturbing.
We slept for 2 weeks without air conditioning with only the fan on.
In the evening we were able to pick up my husband from the airport with a delay of more than an hour and a half.
He felt right at home, despite the fatigue of the long flight from Amsterdam.
He loves to snorkel and bachelor beach, just an 8-minute walk away, was a treat for him every day.
Willy and Bach are very hospitable and like to think with you about what the beautiful island has to offer.
Willy comes every day to ask if everything is still to your liking and at the gate is a bell that you can ring if you have something to ask or report.
You may also always appen,Willy responds pretty quickly.
My husband has through and with Willy and Bach at wanna dive 4 dives and the underwater world is breathtakingly beautiful.
We had a scooter which takes some getting used to with all the bumps and potholes in the road but it does give you a sense of freedom and you feel the island vibes better than in a car.
We had a wonderful 2 weeks at Kas Oleifi on beautiful unspoiled Bonaire and we will definitely be back.
An island we instantly fell in love with♡

Sweet honest helpful owners..and a clean beautiful studio,and a lovely view...highly recommended!!!

 

Michael *****review on AirBnB

This was our first Air BnB experience and our first experience on Bonaire. We were so pleasantly surprised. I preferred staying at Willy's place compared to a big name hotel. It always pays to know a local. Everything she suggested we used like her extremely friendly friends that rented us a scooter and car. Her place is so clean and convenient with nice subtle touches of home. We loved being around the island or just hanging on our deck, grilling, or floating in her pool. It was perfect. The place has everything you need with a great big bathroom and great outdoor kitchen. The units are nice and private. We would recommend anyone stay here. We're going to miss Bonaire and Willy and her husband's place. It was amazing. Thank you Willy.

 

 

Helmar *****review on Micazu

Lovely stay in a very clean vacation home. Great price for what you get. Willy and Bach very friendly, helpful (even before arrival on the island) and full of information. They live on the property but are not on your doorstep. Despite the fact that the backyard is almost adjacent to the airstrip no bother from the planes. (That was a fear of mine anyway.)

 

Casper Enkelaar *****review on Google

We had an incredible experience at Kas Oleifi. The owner Willy was such a friendly and helpful host. She made sure we had the best experience possible on Bonaire. The location is great with only a short walking distance from the beach and lots of beautiful wildlife in and around the garden.

 

 

Arjen *****review on AirBnB

Wonderful place to stay, Willy and Bach are very hospitable, nothing is too much for them. In real life it looks much neater and better than on the picture. If we go to Bonaire again, we will stay here again!

 

Lianne cook *****review on Google

Kas Oleifi is really recommended for a fun, cozy and beautiful experience during your stay in Bonaire. I stayed here with a friend for a longer period of time. And how nice is it to wake up and prepare and eat your breakfast outside on the porch. Personally, I found it mega fun that outdoor kitchen, great to cook "outside". And if it got really hot just cool off in the pool.

And then of course those sweet Bach and Willy who are always there for you for questions and tips about the island, just love. And also for my two new dog friends Blitz and Benji. Super cozy four-legged friends who sometimes just came around a corner.

Super thanks for all the hospitality, if I come back to Bonaire I would definitely approach them again hoping for a studio free!!! Kas Oleifi I say do it!!!

Petra de Vreede *****review on Micazu

A fine and beautiful place with particularly fine and sweet hosts. They told about the island and always tried to answer our questions and make it to our liking. The studio completely fulfilled the description. Definitely a place to go back to!!!

 

Anneke Postma *****review on Google

The studios (2) of Kas Oleifi are perfect for a stay on Bonaire. They are super clean and nicely furnished. The terrace in front of the studio with open kitchen is very nice! Also the little pool is nice to cool off in. The hosts are very nice and helpful. In other words: highly recommended, especially for the price!

 

Yvonne *****review on AirBnB

A lovely Airbnb with an outdoor kitchen, beautiful garden, quiet location, very welcoming owners

We thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality, the pick-up and drop-off service to the airport, breakfast for the first morning, a drink on arrival, plenty of towels. A car rental fish you arranged who delivered the car to the door and came to pick it up

 

Taylor *****review on Google

Note that there are two apts next door to each other. For me it was an interesting hybrid of meditative atmosphere with neighbors who like the downtown island lifestyle. Close to the beach, and close enough to downtown for a more exciting time. There's lots to do here and the pricing is reasonable, the hosts are very open minded and flexible and are the best. Highly recommended.

David Snik *****review on Micazu

Willy and Bach are very hospitable and helpful and I enjoyed being here. The cottage is nice and well cared for and it is cleaned once a week. What is really a plus is that when you step out the door you are directly in the beautiful backyard where you can lie in the sun or take a dip in the pool. Definitely highly recommended!

Elise van Hal *****review on Google

What a wonderful place! Our apartment was hidden in the beautiful garden with palm trees, an oasis of peace....And in the evening everything was so attractively lit, a picture. Kas Oleifi is a paradise to unwind. Everywhere in the garden are nice sitting areas, so you always have a place in the shade. But you can also relax on the veranda. The apartment lacks nothing, the beds are good, a coffee maker and kettle are available and the shower is fine. The outdoor kitchen is well equipped. The good care of Willy and Bach made our stay extra nice, nothing is too much for them to please their guests. It was an incredibly nice vacation, and this location is highly recommended.

Ad van Es *****op Micazu

A semi-detached fine studio where everything is fine. Upon arrival the fridge was already well stocked with the necessary goodies, very nice. Also the pick-up and drop-off service is great. The communication with the landlord is top, you only need to call something and it is arranged as clean linen, towels etc.
In short, highly recommended.

Kas Oleifi was the perfect place to stay on Bonaire. The studios are modern, clean and beautifully situated on a quiet garden with pool. The owners are incredibly hospitable and are always there for you. I would definitely come back again! Thank you Willy and Bach!

 

Gerda Gielen *****review on Google

It was really what we expect from a stay in the Caribbean. Beautiful garden with pool for evening relaxation. Outdoor kitchen is also a hit. Sweet dogs of the owner who say good morning and come and wish goodnight . Really sweeties. And for-Willy is nothing too much. To be repeated.

 

Willeke *****review on AirBnB

Thank you Willy, Bach and the dogs for allowing us to share your wonderful place. We highly recommend this studio to family and friends. We did nothing but enjoy ourselves. And your hospitality and accommodation certainly contributed positively to that. Until next time!
