What is the room rate at Moon&Star guesthouse? And what about the food? And how much for food is another frequently asked question. I hear you thinking; Pat, you don’t have to write a blog about the rates at Moon&Star guesthouse!
There is no simple or quick answer to the questions, so I think it’s time. And I promise you, it won’t be boring and it won’t be a blog of 1000 words.
Why a blog about the room rate at Moon&Star guesthouse?
How expensive is the room? That is a very simple question. But, as has already been written, we do not have an straightforward answer to that question.
The other day someone called to ask how much a room cost and I said €12 per person. “Ooh that’s expensive”, was the response. Before I could continue that we have a dorm as well and that our rooms have a private bathroom. In the end it worked out well and he enjoyed half board and his dorm bed.
Because most guests enjoy all their meals at our place and because we don’t have a menu we offer full, half board and bed & breakfast prices. We also have special rates for long term stays!
An overview of our prices for the rooms and board
Wait a minute….. No menu card?? Why not?
When we started Moon&Star guesthouse 10 years ago we had a breakfast and lunch menu and every day we wrote a choice menu for dinner on a blackboard. The latter I had copied from the relaxed Big Milly’s backyard in Kokrobite.
But what happened? In the first year all the guests said, we like to eat what you eat.
What do you mean by full board, half board and B & B?
If you choose full board, you get 3 meals a day. When you go on an excursion we will gladly prepare a lunch parcel for you.
In case of half board we provide breakfast and dinner. And when you choose Bed & Breakfast, you only enjoy our extensive breakfast platter. Of course you can also book a room and no meals with us. But you will miss out then 😉
We chose the full-board option and really enjoyed the home-cooked meals and yummy breakfast (banana pancakes!). Pat also organized a Fufu (traditional Ghanaian dish) cooking class for us at a local woman’s home- a wonderful experience!

For those looking for a place that can accommodate specific dietary needs and provide amazing food and service, Moon and Star checks all the boxes. Pat and her team of chef’s – Doris and Ataa- created amazing meals with fresh local ingredients, including the best bread I have had – ever. Her vegan and vegetarian dishes had me considering a life change, but then Ike and Emmanuel got on the grill and made amazing chicken, sausage to go along with flavorful tofu kebabs and tasty bean patties. If you aren’t into bbq, schedule a local cooking workshop so you can learn to cook local food in a traditional way.

No menu card matches our sustainable mission
Because we no longer need to stock everything on the menu, we were able to say goodbye to our large energy consuming freezer. And I can use many more local products and even products from the garden. I love picking our own oranges, bananas or papaya’s for breakfast!
And because we don’t have a menu card I can cater much better to specific needs and diets, e.g. gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan food. Above all, I can now apply all my creativity in the kitchen, and you can taste that!

I think the prices are cheap but I am a USA citizen and don’t know if that was 10 cedis one person was expensive. Anyway, I really enjoy your blogs. I am really trying to get a ticket to come to Ghana in December and am definitely going to come see your beautiful place!
