Good
May be a little later close time for the pool??
4.5 / 5.0
This property is very charming, the room was clean and as advertised. One of the most unique stays I have had while in Aruba.
The hostess Ms. Willeke, even made us breakfasts to go since we had an early flight. Her attentiveness an friendliness made me feel right at home and I really felt a sense of tranquility while I stayed at this property.
I enjoyed my stay very much, I will definitely stay here again when visiting Aruba.
The property is a little far from the main tourist area, so a rental car is needed since the taxi fairs are fairly expensive. But that makes this property that much more appealing for travelers who are looking to enjoy a little nature and peace away from home.

Mammaloe superou todas as expectativas!!! Vou recomendar a todas as pessoas que forem a Aruba! Lugar muito especial, com pessoas maravilhosas, em especial a Larissa que nos atendeu todos os dias e sempre impecável!!!

I loved the staff, Larissa was so kind and had great suggestions for things to do. They even offered to get a car rental for you!
I did not like that the pool got cleaned so often because I wanted to use it in the middle of the day while it was so hot! :)

A gem away from the resorts. We had a great time at Mammaloe’s. A super unique, chill and quiet place to relax after a day of exploring the island. Larissa is amazing and always there, if you have questions or need anything. Definitely try the homemade breakfast too!! We’d definitely stay here again!
Be aware, that you’ll have to pay extra, if you want to use the ac during the day. That wasn’t a problem for us, but would be good to know ahead of time.

Excellent artistic quirky aesthetic of the entire property! The attached covered veranda was wonderful, and the small pool tucked away in the cactus forest was unique. There were several adorable private reading areas sprinkled through the property.
I didn’t like having to put the toilet paper in the trash can, and the bed was a futon (VERY firm). Although we’ve encountered this before in rental homes on Aruba, I was surprised to discover there was no hot water for the shower, just the single valve for tepid tap water. Lastly, the floor of our room was gritty on our bare feet.

Mammaloe's is an amazing budget property! The staff are very friendly, the property is very cute and they have a lovely little pool. There is a shared kitchen as well which makes for great budget travel! The soap and shampoo were nice and beach towels are available for a small fee. The property is located very close to many beaches and everything you would want to see on the island!
Everything was great - but expectations should be adjusted that the property is a bit like glamping/hostel living - the pool deck is wood and not sealed, so splinters are a possibility in bare feet. The TV literally fell off the wall in my room because it was not hung properly (quickly fixed by the owner but yikes!). There's no hot/cold water, nor a door to the bathroom, so when staying with another person you are only a couple feet away while they use the restroom.

Wow this place was everything and more is small cozy and a great gateway. We arrived in a car and they helped us get one at the time of booking me and my wife got real wasted the night we arrived so we grabbed extra beers from the fridge and forgot the host asked I told her I just need to ask my wife since we was wasted on our first night in Aruba . And yes we owed them for 3 beers they said two but it was 3 who cares the host was so nice about it . We walked around the back after grabbing a book from under the cabin and lasted 2 hours relaxing before heading out it was so worth it 🙌

The rooms and setting was very beautiful and well taken care of.
3.0 / 5.0
Very stylish and very clean studio.
So there was a misunderstanding between the Booking system and two guests / two bookings. We were unfortunatelly not informed upfront right before the booking that all the trailers were gone and that another room (a studio) will be given to us. From our perspective (we always plan our trips very carefully) - it really disappointed us cause we came to this place only for the trailer experience. We totally understand, that such things can happen, but just be honest to you guests.
When we arrived, we waited outside knocking, ringing a bell and shouting for at least 20 Minutes - no one came and we just waited at the gates. The owner was probably busy somewhere else, but would be nice if an alternative check in / welcoming option would be organised.
All in all, we didn‘t feel welcomed there - only another guests, another booking. Really mixed feelings, although we had really high hopes

The B&B created a little paradise away from the busy mass tourism areas. The plants and trees make it a cozy and charming place to stay. The colorful wagons add to that.
The wagons aren’t ideal for the Aruban climate. They are not insulated, which means that using the airconditioning is an absolute must. With that you will have a comfortable stay.
5.0 / 5.0
The place is very nice and unique. The ambience is very peacefull, the room is very unique and nice. Very clean and we loved the nature set. The place is perfect for honeymoon.
The dogs of the owner would miss the owner when she leaves and they would bark and cry after her. We could hear how much they miss and love their owner.
But when she is back, they are quiet and you even don't know that they are there.
3.5 / 5.0
Nice wooden AC bungalows in a small cactus garden; bathroom inside. A common area for cooking and relaxing is available. Each bungalow has its fridge, and another fridge is located in the common area, where you'll find also kitchen equipment. Location easy to reach both the south and the north beaches, or the city center. Really quiet at night.
Bungalows are extremely small; no large suitcases otherwise you won't be able to open them! No wardrobe, some more wall hangers would be useful. A lot of mosquitoes in the area; no window nets (but there is a net over the bed). No beach towels or chairs are included in the price, differently from other accomodations on the island. No bed linen or bath towels change in a week.
