Guest Reviews

• Perbil (7/5): -
• Aline (7/5): - Emplacement bien Accord d’hébergement rapide alors que nous étions sans logement
• Ślifirczyk (9/5): -
• Andrade (5/5): -
• Beatriz (10/5): Boa relação de preço e qualidade - Donos muito simpáticos e prestativos a pressão da água do chuveiro era fraca
• veronique (7/5): - L emplacement idéal pour visiter la ville. Seul bémol côté rue bruyant
• Silvia (5/5): -
• Bernard (8/5): -
• Bernard (8/5): - La gentillesse de la famille. Une chambre est tbien, lumineuse Il y a 2 chambres , une chambre est bien, bien éclairée, mais la deuxième chambre est sans fenêtre, donc sombre.. les sommiers sont des palettes de bois.
• Konrad (3/5): A lot of Goodwill - but no Quality at all - The price looked reasonable; so we booked for two nights from the beginning because our usual policy (just book one night and then extend when it is good) had failed in Tarrafal due to high request. That was a mistake! Apart from bar seats at the kitchen desk there are no seats in this building except wooden blocks on the ground in the patio. No place to put your bags or sit down and have a cup of tea (except in the kitchen which you share with the family and (loud) children. Note the bad reviews about internet quality etc, too. They are all correct! Almost no signal in the "room with external private bathroom" and the second day the provider connection failed completely. So we had to use our mobile data but the 4G signal was too weak in that room so we had to do our video call sitting on the ground in the hallway. They write about a shared kitchen but you will have difficulties to get hot water for your own tea/medicine because the "shared kitchen" means two pots (1 tea 1 coffee) on a first come first serve basis. No option to heat our own due to lack of a kettle and to-be-replaced gas container in the kitchen. In 10 days we have been to 3 other places in the same price range at Tarrafal and they ALL were MUCH better quality. The last good reviews are 2 years old apart from one french family whose son obviously enjoyed playing with the family's kids. Where did the chairs go and why are these plants in the seating area which house flees? (move them away while sitting outside in the patio in the evening)
• Francisco Amador (8/5): -
• Hugo (4/5): Un séjour décevant - L’accueil très sympathique de Jason à mon arrivée, l’emplacement plutôt bien situé, la propreté. Je pensais trouver une ambiance familiale que je n’ai pas retrouvé au final, n’ayant croisé Jason qu’une seule fois très rapidement après mon arrivée, le reste du temps j’étais laissé seul. À mon arrivée on me signale qu’il y a une coupure d’eau qui devait être résolue rapidement. Ella a finalement duré plus de 24h. Personne n’est venu m’en parler ou proposer une compensation, j’ai juste eu un sceau d’eau posé dans la douche sans un mot. Ma chambre était sans fenêtre et très chaude et humide la nuit, et le ventilateur que j’avais a lâché au bout de deux heures et ne fonctionnait plus donc très compliqué de s’endormir. Aucun réseau internet capté dans la chambre, ni wifi ni réseau mobile. Le matin j’étais réveillé tôt par le bruit des trois enfants et de leur mère qui les gronde à répétition… Je n’ai pas du tout l’habitude de faire de mauvaises évaluations et encore je passe certains détails, mais là je n’étais pas du tout satisfait. Je suis peut-être arrivé au mauvais moment mais j’ai du changer de logement à Tarrafal parce que je sentais que ces conditions d’hébergement gâchait mon expérience dans cette belle ville.
• Itzazito (9/5): - Jason y su familia fueron muy cercanos y acogedores. Nos dio buenas recomendaciones sobre el sitio y para las actividades a relizar. Nos ayudó en todo. Es un crack! El alojamiento se encontraba un poco lejos del centro.
• Emilia Isabella (8/5): Adorable experience, great people - You are living with a local family and get to use their kitchen. You have your own room with bathroom, everything was provided. The family was really nice. I liked that he was in contact with me before I came to the apartment so he gave me a lot of information. He speaks good English I enjoyed a nice dinner with the hole family, they also invited me to the movie night :) Was a bit hard to find, but I called him and we met in the city so he showed me the way. Breakfast was good but not soo much
• Aníbal (6/5): -
• Rosario (8/5): Very good - The best host in Santiago island Totally recommended also for only English speaking
• Cece (9/5): Peaceful place to stay in Tarrafal - Jason and his wife were very gracious. Nothing
• Xavier (10/5): The best place in Tarrafal. - Very kind and welcoming people! The best quality/price ratio you'll find. Tips to enjoy Tarrafal. Rien
• Anthony (9/5): Hope to see you again ! - I enjoyed 5 days at Barros Homestay, thanks therefore to Barros and his team. The place is safe and quiet, the bed was good and I had the best hot showers on Santiago. Everything was ok
• Sere230981 (7/5): Frindly family - A nice and cute family runs the place, we had an entire apartment for us, nice breakfast on the rooftop. About 15 min walk from the beach in a quiet part of the city More attention to the cleaning side
• Rils (9/5): Superb - Very nice host family, Jason is so welcoming, smiling, available and gives lots of advice on what to do in Tarrafal. And his wife is a great cooker, the breakfast was good and complete. The house is spacious, the appartment is big too, calm and clean. About 10 minutes walk to the beach and 5 minutes to markets and restaurants. Great potential. I felt good :)
