We stayed in this guesthouse for two nights with the Joker group trip to Ghana. It was the best accommodation we had in Ghana. What stood out for me was the friendliness of the entire staff, the lovely garden to relax in and the fantastic food: every lunch and dinner was different, but always of very high quality.

Highly recommended! Stayed at this guesthouse for two nights and felt completely at home. Good rooms, delicious food and very good service. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle of the big cities and discover the local (ashanti) culture! Moreover, you support a super good initiative!!! Keep up the good work!

We stayed with our family for 4 nights at BWO! We received a very warm welcome and the rooms look very cozy. A very nice garden to relax outside! The Ashanti tour was super fun and varied. And the fufu cooking workshop was great! We had a very nice time and Patricia gave us many good tips for our trip through Ghana and also arranged the driver and van for us!

Staying at BWO Hostel felt like a fresh breath of air and coming home in Ghana. The hospitality is absolutely fantastic and the food is delicious and a European – Ghanian crossover. I would stay here again anytime. Support Banko Women Organization when you are there! I made a beautiful skirt and braided my hair. Thank you for everything and maybe till the next time! 💖

Fixed Menu: A Sustainable Approach to Dining

No Fixed Menu: A Sustainable Approach to Dining

At BWO, we embrace sustainability by forgoing a fixed menu in favor of cooking with the freshest, seasonal products available. This approach allows us to offer a personalized dining experience, with dishes that change based on what’s available at the local markets. By focusing on seasonal ingredients, we minimize waste and ensure that every meal is crafted using the finest, freshest, and most local produce.

Our flexibility extends beyond the menu. We offer a variety of meal plans to suit your needs: bed & breakfast, half board, or full board options. Whether you’re looking for a hearty breakfast to start your day, a delicious two-meal package, or the convenience of all meals included, we have you covered. Each plan is designed to complement your stay and enhance your experience at BWO Hostel.

We love the creativity this approach brings to our kitchen, allowing us to tailor meals to your preferences and dietary needs while celebrating Ghana’s rich culinary traditions.
