Guest Reviews
- Graça (8/5): -
- Alba (6/5): - Apartamento bien ubicado, habitación con aire acondicionado y personal agradable. No ofrecen jabón, ni siquiera de manos en el baño.
Demasiados ruidos, tanto fuera como dentro del alojamiento. Es un apartamento de 5 habitaciones y hay más personas que tú pero podrían estar mejor insonorizadas o evitar ruidos a las 5/6 de la mañana, que curiosamente fueron todos los días. Además el último día había check-in hasta las 11:00 y a las 8:00 vinieron a abrir la habitación que para nuestra suerte estaba cerrada con llave.
- Marta (10/5): -

- hind (9/5): Good experi
ence - Sonia and Steph were very kind and helpful the room was tidy, the location of the appartement was perfect near quebra beach and around 30 min walk to plateau.
I arrived around 1 am and the contactless check in went well. Rien
- Bruno (9/5): - Concept intéressant de l’appart’ partagé mais nous n’en avons pas profité pleinement n’y restant qu’une nuit.
Bon contact avec le propriétaire parlant français Attention, la chambre avec lits superposés est juste pour des adultes, plus adaptés à des enfants je pense. Mais bien quand même pour dormir.
- Raimund (10/5): Quiet, budget, convenient, close to the infrastructur, beaches and restaurants. - The localization is great and in a safe environment. The room is spacious, the bathrooms clean and well-equipped and the area is quiet. There was an issue with my key and the doorlock. But the owner took perfectly care of it and he let me check out late for free.
- Fernando (10/5): Exceptional - The air conditioner was really good, everything very clean and well organised. Sonia was really nice with us.
- Rafaela (8/5): Very good - The contact person was really flexible with my stay. Due to the delay on the boat I ended up arriving later than the checking-in hour which was made easier by using the self check-in. I would just give instructions on how to open the outside gate.
On my last day, my boat trip was also delayed and since I had a lot of luggage I asked if I could have a later check-out, which was possible and they let me leave my stuff with them until 17h.
Really nice and talkative cleaning lady that gave me helpful tips for my next trip to the island of maio.
- Heidi (10/5): Ideal location, great value, super accommodating host—would absolutely stay there again! -
- Jean-sebastien (9/5): Superb -
- Sofia (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is well located, clean, has hot water and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommended!
- Chandni2k7 (8/5): Very good - Amazing value for money. Twin room was comfortable. Great WiFi. Hot water and shower pressure a plus. Ironing facility and a kitchen.
It would be helpful to receive detailed instructions from the host as to how to find the place and how to access the flat as the lady there does not speak any English.
Shared bathroom can get a bit smelly.
- Ines (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikos (10/5): Great location of value for money very clean - It was just for tonight before my fly back.
But it was the best day so far a cape of Verde.
A great location, just behind the Parliament very very clean and great hospitality.
- Siaht (6/5): Honest Review: Pros and Cons - We recently stayed at this accommodation, ideal for simplicity and beach proximity. Here's our balanced assessment:
# Pros
1. Daily cleanliness
2. Fully equipped kitchen and washing machine
3. Convenient location (supermarkets, clinics, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, public transport)
4. Somewhat responsive hosts
# Recommendations
Best suited for budget-conscious travelers prioritizing location and basic amenities. Those seeking international ambiance or privacy may prefer alternatives.
# Growth Opportunities
To enhance guest experiences, consider:
1. Defining target audience (locals vs. international tourists) for tailored services.
2. Addressing existing issues.
3. Improving amenities and instructions.
Helpful feedback, not criticism. Wishing the hosts success! # Cons
1. Water supply issues
2. Key access challenges (upgrading to key box)
3. Limited toilet paper
4. No TVs in bedrooms
5. Insufficient bathrooms (2 for 4+ guests)
6. Outdated doors/amenities lacking instructions
7. Narrow bunk beds
- Peter (8/5): fair - it's a big apartment with five rooms that are all rented out.There's a small kitchen and a very small sitting area. The a/c comes in very handy.
You have to check in, pay your rent and get the keys at Hotel Santa Maria, which is situated more than 2 km away from the apartment (a 40 minutes walk. or 5 Euros by taxi). This is quite a nuisance, really.
