4 A stranger at home
I had a great stay at this hostel for five days in March 2009. I highly recommend it for its value, comfort, and most importantly, the hospitality. The hosts moved me to a new room after I had a problem with my first room. I felt safe, cozy, and comfortable for my five-day stay at this hostel, not to mention being well fed with three meals a day. I definitely would stay here again.

5 Great place to stay. I plan on returning
I would recommend if you are looking for a vacation that is peaceful than you are at the right spot. I had a wonderful time. Auntie and Uncle are the nicest people you will ever meet. Auntie is a great cook. I felt safe and I plan on bringing my family next year. Rooms are great and airy. Location puts you where the real Ghana people live. Loved it. See you next year Auntie and Uncle!

5 Loved it!
I totally recommend this home away from home! Beautiful people in an amazing country! When I go back to Ghana I will stay there again!

3 If you arrive in the night, the shock of "What was I thinking?" will hit you like a whirlwind. But in the morning, you will be awaken by the welcoming sounds of Auntie. You will have lots of questions and they will answer them without ease making you feel relax and at home. The Food is not KFC, but it is Finger Licking Good. A true taste of Ghana. Don't expect air conditioning or candies on your pillows. Just imagine going to Mama's house while meeting great people. It is safe, comfortable, and peaceful.

5 I had a wonderful time when I stayed in 2006. Auntie and Uncle and their daughter were all very friendly and welcoming! I found it a great way to meet other travelers/volunteers. It was very safe and clean and I couldn't fault it one bit!

5 I really felt at home there. At first I thought I did a wrong thing by coming to a third world country by myself but auntie and the family showed me the ropes and it helped me relax a whole lot. And I enjoyed my stay. It's a very safe atmosphere and there are really nice people there. I recommend everyone if you are going to Ghana, stay there. They will treat you right and not cheat you. I will be back very soon.
