About Oasis Guesthouse Bonaire
Where boutique comfort, island nature and warm hospitality come together.
Meet the hosts
We are John and Kim, originally from the Netherlands, and proud owners of Oasis Guesthouse Bonaire. In 2017 we followed our hearts and moved to this beautiful island to create a peaceful, welcoming place for guests from around the world.
We love connecting with our guests, hearing their stories and sharing island tips, but we also value privacy and quietness. Our goal is always to give you the same comfort, warmth and hospitality that we enjoy in our own travels.
John
Wildlife Volunteer & Island Nature Lover
John volunteers for the Bonaire Wild Bird Rehab, where injured or dehydrated birds, mainly flamingos are rescued, rehabilitated and safely released again.
His connection with Bonaire’s wildlife is a big part of why Oasis feels so close to nature.
This is Us
Kim
Ocean Lover & Watersports Enthusiast
Kim loves everything related to the ocean. She enjoys freediving, windsurfing, kitesurfing and regularly explores Bonaire’s nature, both above and below the surface.
As the owner and instructor behind Scuba School Bonaire, Kim shares her passion for diving through calm, personal guidance and professional SSI dive training. Her love for the ocean and the underwater world is a natural extension of the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere you experience at Oasis Guesthouse Bonaire.
Kenzo & Dushi
Kenzo & Dushi are our two lovely, friendly and very spoiled dogs — both rescued here on the island when they were pups. You won’t see them at the guesthouse, but they live just across the street from our house. If you would like to meet them, just let us know — they absolutely love attention and new friends.

Posted on Matthijs Genders5 December 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Guesthouse Bonaire is een fantastische plek om te verblijven als je naar Bonaire komt, zeker als duiker. Verwacht geen onpersoonlijke hotelsetting, maar een sfeervol, kleinschalig guesthouse waar je je direct welkom voelt. Kim en John runnen de accommodatie met zichtbaar plezier en aandacht, en dat merk je aan alles: ze zijn oprecht vriendelijk, ontzettend behulpzaam en altijd bereid mee te denken of te helpen waar nodig. Voor duikers is dit een echte aanrader: comfortabel, relaxed en zonder de drukte van grote resorts. Je hebt alle rust na een duikdag, maar wél de persoonlijke aandacht en flexibiliteit die je als gast zo waardeert. Als je op zoek bent naar een fijne, kleinschalige uitvalsbasis met hosts die net dat stapje extra zetten, dan is Guesthouse Bonaire absoluut de juiste keuze.Posted on Djamilla van Os10 October 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dit is echt een geweldige plek om te verblijven! We voelden ons meteen thuis. De locatie is perfect, je zit eigenlijk overal dichtbij maar wel in de rust (dus het is niet aan een doorgaande weg). Je hebt veel contact met de andere gasten omdat je de keuken en de tuin deelt, maar dat is erg gemoedelijk. Je kunt er voor kiezen je ‘af te zonderen’ als je daar behoefte aan hebt. De tuin is ontzettend relax en ik vind dat je de sfeer daar echt moet proeven, is niet op beeld over te brengen (hebben we wel geprobeerd). Overal is aan gedacht! Ze hebben bijvoorbeeld ook koelboxen om mee te nemen en klapstoeltjes, wat heerlijk is om mee te nemen voor een middagje strand. Ook is de keuken uitgerust met alles wat je maar nodig hebt om te koken. Er is een klein barretje waar je wat te drinken kan pakken tegen een bedrag en ook de koffie is in de keuken tegen een bedrag te pakken, deze heb je niet op je eigen kamer. John en Kim staan altijd klaar als je iets nodig hebt en hebben heel veel verhalen over het eiland en wat ze daar allemaal meemaken. Wij willen zeker een keer terug komen! Bedankt voor alles!Posted on Dean Jen20 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Opt for this omnibenevolent oasis when obambulating the island.Posted on Kenny McCabe16 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic stay with Kim for 8 nights. Could not be more helpful. Even when our hire car broke down she went above and beyond.the guest house is spotlessly clean comfortable and welcoming. The other guests also made our stay more friendly. Can’t recommend highly enough.lovely relaxed place to base yourself for your adventurous in Bonaire.Posted on Andrea Page10 September 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently stayed in a Superior Suite. It was beautifully furnished, spacious and very clean and new feeling. I enjoyed having my suite on the ground floor since I had lots of camera equipment and was going in and out often. Plus, it was very convenient to the kitchen, yet totally private. The communal kitchen is large and well organized for guest usage. Facilities are excellent with many top-of-the-line appliances. There is ample room inside and outside to comfortably have meals. Guests were friendly and sociable. The pool is wonderful and is a magnesium pool. The garden and outside lounge area is large providing both sun and shade. Storage and rinse area for dive gear is excellent and there are two large clothes lines to hang wet clothing. The owners of Oasis are wonderful hosts and extremely knowledgeable about the island. And they offer full dive packages and services. Equipment on hand is high quality and well maintained. The Oasis Guesthouse is a gem on the island of Bonaire. I would highly recommend and would gladly return for another stay, hopefully longer this time.Posted on Sylwia Pazzi30 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pobyt w Oasis Guesthouse był wyjątkowy przede wszystkim dzięki wspaniałym gospodarzom, Johnny i Kim. Czuliśmy się jak w domu. DziękujemyPosted on Sylvia Patijn15 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and Kim are wonderful hosts and always willing to give advice on things to do on the island. The guesthouse is great with spacious and clean rooms with airco and comfy beds, a well equipped communal kitchen and a lovely garden with swimming pool. Diving equipment and bottles are available for rent as well as room to rinse and stow your diving gear. The Oasis Guesthouse BBQs are the best!! We will definitely be coming back to this oasis!Posted on Janine Benjamins16 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ontzettend fijn guesthouse. Kim en Johnn, dank voor jullie gastvrijheid en gezelligheid. Kamers top, gezamenlijke keuken geweldig goed geoutilleerd en terras en zwembad heerlijk! Ik zou zo weer komen en beveel jullie van harte aan!Posted on Edwin Meijers16 June 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top locatie, fijne hosts John en Kim, niets is teveel gevraagd. Mooie schone kamers en een mooi zwembad. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar.Posted on Ann Cathrin Uhl26 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing stay at Oasis Guesthouse Bonaire! The rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable—plenty of room to relax after a day of exploring the island. One of our favorite features was the shared kitchen. It’s fully equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need—I genuinely wish I had a kitchen like this at home! Kim and John are fantastic hosts. They strike the perfect balance between being attentive and giving you your own space. We joined the beach BBQ they hosted and it was one of the highlights of our trip—great food and great company in a beautiful setting. Extras like free drinking water and a fantastic pool made our stay even more enjoyable. We also rented a car and diving equipment directly from Kim and John, and everything was in top condition, making our diving experiences smooth and worry-free. Highly recommended—Oasis Guesthouse truly lives up to its name!
