I love Hillburi. The surrounding scenery is lovely and the lodge is very sweet and homey. The pool is always clean and the food is tasty. It is a bit pricey, but compared to every other establishment in Ghana that charges western prices with Ghanaian service, this one actually lives up to expectation. It is charming, maintains an African vibe... More

Perfect concept. The decor is fabulous, blends so well with the mountain environment. A lodge-like feel. The pool was clean and feels perched on the cliff. Room was great and so was service. The only negative was the famed dark desire dessert which tasted like mothballs. Otherwise I'd give it five stars. The other food was above average, especially the... More

the location and atmosphere is fantastic, with a wonderful view and peaceful setting. The pool was clean and great to relax for a few hours. The room was great. The TV only had 4 channels. The disappointments were the food (half the items were ordered were great, and half were mediocre at best), and the service (although they have lots... More

just follow the rules. they give a lot of respect to lodgers privacy. it's a great place to cool off. Great weather, clean air. One of the assistants by name Emmanuel was of great service to my group after just a little hold up. The truth is, the membership only requirement is the best option to preserve it's quality for...

In July, I facilitated an international workshop at the Hillburi and though there were a few hitches here and there, the overall experience was very, very good and most of the workshop participants left with a smile and good feelings about the place. The planning process was a bit challenging for various reasons but in the end, the manager and... More

Having hosted a conference here back in July I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and welcoming the staff has been not only to my group but to me personally. They made me feel part of the Hillburi family and I was just a guest. Needless to mention all my group -30 people strong - have loved the food which... More

I stopped by Hillburi on the way back from Koforidua to have lunch with a group of 5. This was my second visit to Hillburi in 2012. I was confronted by a Manager/Head waiter who presented a jumbled story about membership and a requirement to pay 20 cedis each upfront, which would be credited towards our bill. Alternative was to... More

Visited for lunch, only to be told that as non-members we had to pay a GHC20 advance/deposit per person as a minimum spend. We would have spent this amount anyway, but being forced to pay this up front made us feel unwelcome and soured what should have been a relaxing afternoon. I tried to explain me perspective to the manager... More
