Guesthouses, often synonymous with inexpensive and sometimes quite unfortunately less quality facilities. Generally, many believe that a guesthouse is the ‘’poor man;s’’ hotel.

In the western world, this has proven to be very untrue with some very porsche and expensive guesthouses whose architecture and rates can compete with certain 4 and 5 star hotels elsewhere.

Ideally, one may choose a guesthouse because that is the only form of accommodation available or to save cost.

Although price has mostly proven to be the determining factor when it comes to the choice of guesthouses, we cannot downplay their importance.

In Ghana, guesthouses have been often used as a substitute when travelers cannot afford a much bigger hotel or when there is no available accommodation in the area of interest. Anyway, just before you start condemning all guesthouses in Ghana as being bad, you need to see these.
