Meeting Point-Tarrafal Center

Meeting Point- Tarrafal Center is a hostel created by Kaida, an American expat who discovered the unique village of Tarrafal while tracing her African roots. She created the hostel with the motive to provide clean and inexpensive lodging while creating a 'pangea' to join travellers from all over the world. The hostel is comprised of two dormitories, both of which have 6 single beds (No bunk beds) and 7 private rooms (2 of which have their own bathrooms). The hostel has 2 fully-equipped kitchens and 2 balconies.

Hostel Policy on Paid
Charges & Tourism Tax

All reservations must be paid for, entirely, at the time of check-in. Refunds are not promised. Per the Ministerio de Turismo de Cabo Verde, all individuals (including nationals and residents) must pay 220 CVE per person, per night, in tourism tax. They will be subject to this tax for the first 10 consecutive days in the hostel. This tax is non-negotiable and highly monitored. It's already included in the listed price.

Breakfast is not included in the standard rate. It is an additional 300 CVE per person, per day. It is not provided on-site. It is provided across the street at the Parque das Merendas by a 3rd party vendor. The hostel is not held liable for the quality/service from this vendor. Breakfast is only refundable if not ordered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Are there any reservation cancellation fees ?
A. Unless you have already paid in advance for your rooms, there is no way we can physically collect a cancellation fee. Cancellations made within a day before check-in may qualify for a refund of any monies prepaid. If cancelled in less than a day's time frame, we will NOT refund you as we have suffered a greater risk by blocking rooms that most likely will not be reserved last-minute. If you have cancelled once or more times in the past, we reserve the right to deny future reservation requests made by you.

Q. Do you require a security or damage deposit?
A. We normally do not require any damage deposits upfront. However, if we feel there is a higher risk of damage (for example, a large group of people, many small children, or stays during a festival timeframe) we may request a deposit. It will be returned as long as all of the hostel spaces are left in the same condition they were rented to you. We may take a security deposit for any equipment we rent to you. Once the equipment is returned in the same condition it was rented, we will refund you this security deposit. If the item is damaged, lost, or stolen, you will be held responsible for any associated costs. Lastly, if we have a credit card on file for you and there were incidentals or damages incurred, we will proceed to charge your card for that amount.

Q. May I invite other people to my room/dormitory ?
A. Only those who are listed on the reservation AND have appeared during the check-in period are allowed to stay in the hostel. If any other people are invited without the staff's consent, the hostel staff will remove everyone in violation, including those who have paid for the reservation. Any monies pre-paid will not be refunded. We take the safety and security of our guests very seriously. This policy is strictly monitored and enforced. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Authorities may also be called if deemed necessary.
