We (Dutch couple) stayed at Simabo’s Backpackers’ Hostel in December 2018 for two weeks. Very hospitable and helpfull team. The hostel is cleaned every day, and even our room was cleaned several times during our stay. The location of the hostel is great! Just five minutes from the cozy centre of Mindelo and the beatiful beach Praia da Laginha. We also visited the shelter a few times and walked the dogs, who were all so friendly and enthusiastic. We will be back soon! Thank you soo much Silvia, Pauolo and team!!!!
