Hi, I’m Pat, Your host at Moon&Star guesthouse
About 20 years ago I dreamed of creating an oasis of peace near Kumasi, Ghana. But also a place where we can actively participate in local life and where we can support beautiful projects. Read more about our work with Banko Women Organization
A hostel in Ghana surrounded by beautiful nature, yet easily accessible. A guesthouse where everyone who travels through Ghana feels good, where it is cozy, where you can enjoy delicious food and drink, nature and where everyone feels at home and can be himself. With great pride I can say that we have succeeded!
I had a wonderful stay with Patricia and her Moon and Star Guesthouse crew. Not only is it a beautiful place where you can relax in hammocks or on the beautiful terrasse and get awesome food (also vegan/vegetarian). Patricia also does her best to work ecologically and socially responsible by saving plastic, using mostly local resources and connecting her business to Banko Women Center to empower women.
There is a lot to do: go hiking to the nearby prayer mountain or in Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary, take a village tour, and much more.
I thus did not only enjoy my stay a lot but also gained highly valuable perspectives on Ghana.
Unique place in a lovely and calm part of Ghana, truly a discovery!
We were there for a couple of days and Patricia made us feel immediately at home. Awesome food all around, from breakfast to dinner and lovely idea of making some workshop about local food!
Definitely a recommendation to anyone who’s travelling in Ghana and wants to spend a few days in a calm and cozy place.
In December 2020 Moon&Star guesthouse organised Nick and Iris’ Ghana tour. This as a bonus when they booked the 5-day Ashanti tour with us. Iris and Nick travelled with local transportation, they used tro tro, coaches, tuc tuc’s and an occasional taxi or Uber. Team Moon&Star made their itinerary, booked their accommodations, arranged a few tourguides and provided an E-book that contained all the details about their 4-week trip. They made a video that gives a nice impression of their amazing journey in Ghana.

We are in the process of setting up a training center, but also organize sports classes and discussion groups.
