Guest Reviews

• Eline (10/5): -
• Eline (10/5): -
• Andrea (5/5): - They have a water filter. I had to leave before the breakfast time and they couldn’t offer me an option to take away (neither a banana lol)
• Irene (10/5): Very nice place, clean, comfy and welcoming - Very comfortable and cozy both the bedroom and the common areas. Very nice lounge area to hang out after checking out. Amazing breakfast. Staff is helpful and friendly. Due to the location there’s no much to do within walking distance but it’s a very good location to go to the airport.
• Narayani (8/5): - Love the eco feel, good shower, comfy bed, simple but effective decor. Great breakfast! Filter tap! Nice bar area. Some furniture and fittings ade rustic and could do with updating....but work fine!
• Koami Edoh (10/5): -
• Felix (7/5): -
• Joseph (10/5): -
• Sonya (10/5): Amazing. This is the 2nd time of me staying there and I have already booked in June and July - Breakfast is plentiful and delicious. Individual rooms are great in size. I didn't ask for it to be cleaned but the staff are there to give this service if required. Pool is big enough and a big social pull If I had asked for the room to be cleaned - I was there for 3 weeks and changed room around once per week so I should have asked for it to be cleaned.
• Ester Ribo (8/5): -
• Onyedikachi (8/5): -
• Luka Zup001 (5/5): - Some bugs in the food :/ (photos) I had bad experience with a manager. Staff who work there was amazing! .
• Annett (9/5): Immer wieder gerne - Alles sehr schön, wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal dort. Besonders mögen wir die Ausstattung, alles mit inländischen Materialien designt, tolles Upcycling. Personal sehr nett, sie arbeiten dort gerne und fühlen sich wohl, weil der Chef ein guter Chef ist :) Die Dusche ist der einzige Minuspunkt.
• Ladyne (9/5): Paisible et serein - L’atmosphère comme à la maison. On s’y sent vraiment bien, c’est paisible et le soir on a l’impression d’être dans son jardin. Le fait que le ménage ne soit fait que 4 jours après c’est un peu limite . On est restés 4 jours mais heureusement ils sont venus vider les poubelles et changer les serviettes.
• Mandy (9/5): - Een oase midden in de stad. Het zwembad met poolbar is heerlijk verfrissend. Iedereen is vriendelijk. Zowel de gasten als het personeel. En het ontbijt is heerlijk en uitgebreid.
• Ladyne (9/5): Paisible et serein - Tout ! Cadre, atmosphère comme à la maison et emplacement Ménage fait tous les 4 jours.
• Glenn (9/5): Great value for money hostel with pool -

• Samuel (10/5): A wonderful place to stay with friendly staff - Second time staying here with my children, and it remains a wonderful place to stay. The staff are very friendly, and the fresh breakfast is fantastic. Top service and a great place to meet new people.
• Esther (9/5): Lovely pool, breakfast and lounge areas. - Friendly staff, nice neighbourhood, great pool area with lounge chairs and bar with lovely food and drinks. Easy to meet people and great breakfast. No airport pick up, but easy with Bolt. A little overpriced accomedation, but worth it!
• Helmut (9/5): -
• Zeiad (10/5): - Super kind staff, great facilities, everyone goes above and beyond to be welcoming.
• Falduti85 (10/5): Top notch hotel with pool! - Amazing top notch hostel. Had one of the most confortable hostel experiences ever.
• Lorenzo (10/5): This is the place to be in Accra. Can’t espain it by means of words, You have to feel it - This is the place to be in Accra. Can’t espain it by means of words, You have to feel it Everything great
• Raphael (6/5): . - . .
• Meike (9/5): -
• Glenn (9/5): Superb hostel with swimming pool and bar - Superb value for money hostel with lovely lush garden and swimming pool. I opted for a more expensive room which I had to myself with my own bathroom. There is a shack bar next to the pool and in the evening people gather round the shack bar to have a chat and share experiences. Buffet breakfast is good in communal dining room which gives another opportunity to chat to fellow travellers. This was my second time here and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else Nothing to dislike - the score is high for a hostel because it represents such good value for money
• Artur (10/5): - I stayed in the dorm. Although it's 8 bed, the dorm was spacious and offered privacy thanks to the curtains around the beds. 2 bathrooms meant access wasn't an issue. It was easy to make pals with fellow travellers. The breakfast was great and all you can eat. And there is even a swimming pool, which, at the price, totally exceeded my expectations. Solid internet access and plenty space to hang out. There are some cool markets and good places to eat in the vicinity. To get to town, you need uber but it works out cheap for a westerner. Nothing at all.
• Katharina (9/5): Schön und entspannt. Bereits zweimal dort gewesen. - Sehr schönes Haus, nettes Personal und gutes Essen. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig. Es wird auf Nachhaltigkeit geachtet. Das Bad hat mir nicht so gefallen. Regendusche finde ich persönlich unpraktisch.
• Hernandez Perez (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): - Mega personal
• Shaju (6/5): Good for 3bor 4 days stay - Staff helpful, listening to guests' requests and some of possible Food very expensive , no restaurants near by
• van Delft (8/5): -
• Ludovic (8/5): Très bien - Cadre et personnel Rien
• Kamila (9/5): My stay at somewhere nice was great, I would definitely go back. The hostel has good areas for hanging out and meeting o - The staff is great and the hostel has great areas to hang out. The breakfast is great. Sometimes things were missing in the kitchen, like utensils for example.

• Dorota (9/5): - The vibe of the place and the people The rooms were darker but it's actually good because of the sun and heat.
• Finn (9/5): -
• Tjada (10/5): -
• Adrian (8/5): - Es ist ein sehr ruhiger Ort. Das Frühstück ist gut. Der Pool ist gut wenn er funktioniert. Es gibt viele Schattenplätze zum chillen. Man kann sein Gepäck abstellen. Es wurde ein Flughafen Dropoff geregelt. Die AC in Raum MO funktioniert nicht. Auch nachdem die Kühlflüssigkeit nachgefüllt wurde ging sie nach 2 Stunden wieder nicht. Das Problem scheint bekannt zu sein und morgen gefixt zu werden. Es steht offen zur Debatte welcher morgen gemeint ist. Die ACs in den anderen Räumen haben aber anscheinend funktioniert. Der Pool ist nicht immer funktionstüchtig. Wenn er funktioniert ist er hart überchlort und warm. Ich glaube wir hatten wahrscheinlich auch einfach ein bisschen Pech. Alle anderen erzählen immer wie toll sie den Ort finden.

• Markéta (9/5): -
• Nobutsugu (10/5): -
• Basse (9/5): - Le lieu : c'est un écolodge doté d'une boutique pour acheter des souvenirs, d'un bar pour les delicieux cocktails et d’un restaurant avec une carte très intéressante même si tous les produits ne sont pas toujours disponibles. Le plus gros point positif est le petit déjeuner proposé tous les matins : juste excellent !! Le cadre, le mobilier, les chambres tout est vraiment bien pensé, nous avons adoré !!! On reviendra c'est certain ! La propreté de la piscine n'est pas optimale et ma fille n’a malheureusement pas pu l'utiliser pendant notre séjour.
• Claudia RICHERT (10/5): - It was very nice, good breakfast and friendly staff.
• Michiel (10/5): -
• Eleanor (8/5): Decent place for the price. - A friendly backpackers hostel with very good food. Staff were really helpful, moved us from a room that had a bit of a smell to a fresher one without us asking. Nice vibe. The pool was out of action and the location is in an area with open sewers so the whole area had a bad smell to it. Not many food places within reach,
• Alice (8/5): - breakfast was great, room was good, pool could've been better - wasnt cleaned regularly nothing was great
• Tatjana (10/5): -
• Aya (7/5): -
• Sandor (9/5): - Great place, staff, organisation, exclusive travel mates, but not cheap, but I come back. Not cheap
• Jessica (10/5): Truly amazing! - The property is really great with food, bar, pool and great place to meet travellers who inspire and inform you about everything you need to know in Ghana and beyond. The barman Chi Chi was so much more than a barman; has become a dear friend. N/A
• Peter (9/5): -
• EBARA (10/5): - The stylish furniture, whole design of the rooms, and atmosphere of the guesthouse. Nothing. But please don't forget to check how to open the main gate when you check-in.

• ALEXANDROS (9/5): - Nice relaxed atmoshpere as described, good and fast communication, comfortable good value rooms. The pool was not usable some days.
• Matthew (8/5): -
• Craig (6/5): OK, but could definitely be improved. - Breakfast was OK with cold scrambled eggs, flat bread, rolls, some fruit, and coffee/tea. No juice, sweet breads, cold cereal, etc. They claimed to have oatmeal but it was empty during both my breakfasts. They have nice sitting areas outside. They rejected my credit card that I entered on booking.com and when I told them it had never been rejected before they refused to retry it and told me my reservation would be canceled unless I provided a different card, which I then did. However, they accepted and charged my original card on check-in. Rooms have cement floors and are a bit dirty. No bathroom amenities are provided except toilet paper and a towel. They had to switch my room for who knows why and made me check out at 11 and I couldn't get into the new room until 3:00pm. I have never had this happen before.
• hong (10/5): - 首先我要感谢smoewhere nice的老板，是他及时发邀请函，我才能在贝宁顺利拿到加纳签证👌🏻🤝 这里住的95%是白人，早餐有很多种水果，菠萝🍍，芒果🥭，牛油果🥑，西瓜🍉，木瓜，都是我喜欢吃的😋 院子里还有一个泳池，休闲交流环境很好 青旅还能做饭，有净化水，冰块🧊 房间卫生也很棒，我在这里住了很多天 总之，我非常推荐这家青旅，这在西非国家里是最棒的👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
• Sidsel Nia Bech (10/5): - Lækker morgenmad, dejlig atmosfære. Skønt med pool, da vi var her med to små børn. Mange turister/gæster sammenlignet med de andre steder vi har boet i Ghana.
• Sidsel Nia Bech (10/5): -
• Bwana (10/5): - It was great!
• Kennedy (10/5): - Tout était parfaite
• Florentino (9/5): Merece la pena - El ambiente la habitación Precio algo alto
• Willi (4/5): -
• Remi Leon (10/5): -
• Veronika (8/5): Good place to meet international folks (and plenty mozzies) - Lush oasis to relax, very popular with international (mainly young) travellers, so great to meet people. Fantastic breakfast. Safe parking for my bicycle and space to work on it. Nice, local neighbourhood with small shops around. A few street food options (I was okay with it, but a few other travellers got sick from the same food), plenty fruit vendors. Beds have comfortable matresses. Quiet at night. Overall clean, drinking water available. It's really lacking mosquito nets in the doorms - there's plenty mosquito eben in dry season, both day and night. The private rooms do have them, thus it's even more weird they let the peasants risk an infection. For the money they make each night per room that should be a given. The kitchen has rather basic equipment, it's not really suitable to cook a full meal. They serve (pricey) meals if you don't want to trust the street kitchens.
