Home away from Home!
Reviewed By dk_due-dueAs soon as we arrived the owner made us feel at home and took good care of us. Her service (advice, amazing support in organizing transportation in the area and back to Georgia proper, breakfast, tea, snacks, and her warm attitude) is worth alone the fare you pay for one night. Highly recommended! There are some minor cons you should be aware of: the beds in the outside cabins are a bit antiquated (you can feel every spring), the Bath room is a bit smelly, and the wifi is very slow. But considering the price one pays for one night all these issues are negligible. Real value for money!

To avoid!
Reviewed By katebe2017They cancelled all individual bookings at the last minute to let a tour group stay there (cancellation sent by mail 3 days before arrival, guesthouse situated on the Mestia-Ushguli trek, no Wifi access). So after a long day hike, we ended up in this little village, along with several other hikers, without a place to stay and they didn't care. The owner even got angry at us for being upset. Warning for other travellers: don't trust bookings made here as you may end up in the same situation as we were!

An example of rudeness
Reviewed By fedeon83I want to tell to the host that if you are willing to have tourism in your country you should: 1) Speak a more fluent English, explaining what is included in your rates and what not (the host's sister didn't tell us any information about and we never had any interest in having a free breakfast), otherwise misunderstanding are possible! The host's sister was only interested in having a chat with German people because she speaks German. 2) Have facilities that work better, as you get money for your services, money which is earned with as hard work as yours (we paid for a room with private bathroom and we never had hot water, sometimes we had no water at all! One of us had to go to bed without showering after a long hiking day) 3) Not offend your customers, as complaints may be the unpleasant part of your job (that is life). Photos show how is inappropriate the reaction of the host after my feedback on our staying.

Staying here SAVED MY LIFE
Reviewed By 416sohailaClick bait or true review? It's true! I stayed here in June of 2019 as I began a trip along the Svaneti Trail. I had planned on staying here for just one day but I ended up staying more because it was so quiet and peaceful and I was enjoying rest like i've never enjoyed before (despite being just one block away from the town center). The room is clean and comfortable and smells like fresh cut wood. It's large and has a nice bathroom and immediately felt like HOME. After a long flight from NY with some stops in a few European cities, I took a few days to just nourish myself, rest, acclimate and hike up a surrounding mountain. Doing so proved very important later on. When I left Mestia, I mistakenly left with a full backpack. The hike heading out of Mestia can be grueling with a heavy load. I realized later on that most folks leave their things in Mestia and hike along the Svaneti trail with just a change of clothing and money. What kept me going? Irina's food! The breakfasts here are truly remarkable. I will freely admit that Georgian food is some of the best cuisine and some of the healthiest food I have ever eaten. Irina doesn't try to wow you with truffles and delicate french dishes. Here, you'll enjoy delicious but simultaneously healthy, natural meals. Huge pieces of bread, cheese, omelettes, fruits, yogurt, milk, tea, coffee, cake X 2. I climbed a mountain and my body needed nourishment and the food is delicious but I still couldn't eat everything that was provided. In addition to that, on the morning that I was leaving, I enjoyed the type of meal - had it been my last meal - I would have left with a smile. Irina was so nice that she even offered me a tupperware container because I really really wanted to bring a piece of cake and eggs and cherries on my hike but I hadn't brought anything to carry it in. This really meant a lot to me as a human gesture of kindness. Later on in my hike, I ate those hard boiled eggs while looking out at the type of natural beauty i've never seen and will never see in America. I will ACTUALLY remember the egg stamped with a date in purple lettering because it will ALWAYS be one of the best moments of my life. That's all thanks to Irina's Guest House.

Great place to stay- cool host
Reviewed By SjainslieThe rooms are simple and clean, the beds comfortable and fresh. The bathrooms are modern clean and well kept. There is a common kitchen that guests can use which is great. wifi is available and is reliable. The host cares and personally takes time for his guests. In this area water and electricity isn't always assured. This place is heaven and reasonably priced.

in centro, ma vale poco....
Reviewed By italiantraveller23si tratta di un appartamento con tante stanze, bagno in comune. La stanza era molto grande, ma leggermente datata. la posizione è ottima in centro al paese. La casa non ha un cartello o un campanello da suonare. Dopo aver telefonato al proprietario, si è presentato solo x prendere i soldi e più visto. La struttura è datata e la porta della camera si chiudeva a stento. SI può trovare di meglio.

The whole team of the hotel will help you to feel most comfortable in the hotel, and help you to organize your exciting journey in Svaneti.
Good shower but predictable food
Reviewed By BoehmBawerkAmid a tough walking tour, the shower and relative comfort of this place were most welcome – especially after a subprime option the previous evening in Becho (not on Tripadvisor). That said, the food, while decent enough, lacked flair and was cast into shadow by that of other hotels in Georgia. Puppies sitting in a box awaited us on our return one evening while nearby, a foal suckled her mother and piglets cavorted – so there is character here and a short cut will take walkers into the centre of Mestia in a jiffy.
