Das Eigentum — Peter's Guesthouse
Peter's Guesthouse is a no-frills, clean 3-star operation on the outskirts of Ho, popular with NGO workers and budget-conscious solo travellers. The lobby feels like a functional waiting room—tiled floors, a small reception desk, and a rack of tourist pamphlets—rather than a design statement. Its main draw is the quiet, secure compound and the friendly staff who know the local area well.
Chroniken von Ho
Ho, founded as a German colonial administrative post in the late 19th century, grew around the central market and the ridge that overlooks the Volta River valley. Its architecture is a mix of German-era bungalows, 1960s concrete blocks, and newer glass-fronted banks and hotels. Once the capital of the Volta Region, it remains a calm, green city known for its role in Ghana's independence movement and its vibrant Ewe cultural festivals.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Ho-Guide →Die besten Monate
December and January — dry, sunny, and cooler thanks to the harmattan winds; perfect for hiking the surrounding hills and visiting the Wli Waterfalls without mud. August is also good, with lower humidity.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–September is the peak for the Volta Region’s major festivals, especially the Hogbetsotso Festival (first Saturday of November in Anloga), but July also sees the launch of the Volta Regional Farmers’ Day. Hotel prices in Ho rise about 20–30% during festival weekends; book three months ahead.
Budget Schulter Saison
March and April — the tail end of the dry season before the heavy rains; fewer tourists, discounted room rates by 15–20%, and still decent weather for short trips to Mount Afadjato.
Wetter & Verpackung
Ho sits in a valley that traps humidity even in the dry months, so light cotton clothing is essential, but do bring a light jacket for unexpectedly cool harmattan evenings. Pack a sturdy umbrella from September onward—rain can arrive in sudden, torrential bursts.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Peter's Guesthouse, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room at the back of the building, away from the main road, on the top floor (2nd or 3rd floor) for less street noise and a bit more privacy.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor near the reception or common areas — these can get foot traffic noise and less ventilation. Also skip rooms facing the main street directly if available.
Best views
Rooms at the rear or upper floors may overlook local neighbourhood rooftops or greenery — limited but more peaceful than street view.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors tend to be quieter than ground or 1st floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Ho is a regional capital with occasional traffic noise along main routes; early morning market activity can drift in if windows face the street. The hotel’s central location means some ambient sound from surrounding houses and motorbikes.
Insider tips
1. Ask if you can park a scooter or car in the small lot behind the building — safer than street parking. 2. Check in after 2pm to allow staff to clean and air out your room properly, especially if you prefer a higher floor.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Top-Attraktionen in Ho
💡 Go on a Wednesday or Saturday when more vendors arrive. Haggle politely for cloth, but prices on food are fixed. Watch for pickpockets near the main entrance.
💡 Go early morning around 7am to see the light through the windows without crowds. Watch your step on the uneven tiles inside.
💡 It's busiest around 4pm when school finishes. Come with a mat and buy kelewele (spiced fried plantain) from the vendors at the gate – 2 GHS a bag.
💡 Bring bananas or groundnuts to feed them – buy at the entrance rather than pre-packed. Guides expect a small tip (around 5 GHS). Avoid wearing bright colours; the monkeys get nervous.
💡 Bring water shoes – the rocks are slippery. The trail to the lower falls is easy, but hire a guide (30 GHS) for the upper. Visit on a weekday to avoid crowds.
