Guest house Babaka

“ideal gelegen, sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber”

The food was great when we asked for it, and the host was very friendly, though the bathroom could have been a bit more modern.

“You are welcomed as family”

Gila, Silvia and the whole family made us feel very welcome at their guesthouse; we were lucky to experience grape harvest time, which was truly amazing, and everything they did for us was hassle‑free. Breakfast was excellent and the dinner in the family wine cellar was just as good. The only downside was the departure process.

“A wonderful and authentic Georgian experience!”

We spent two nights at Guest House Babaka and found it wonderfully affordable, with excellent value for money. The hosts, Silvia and Gela, were genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel at home. They spoke limited English, but Google Translate made communication easy. We stayed in a triple room that had a private balcony, and there was a small shared kitchen in the hallway with a dining table and everything needed for coffee or simple meals, though it wasn’t equipped for cooking. One evening we dined with the hosts; the food was delicious, plentiful, and varied, with vegetarian options for my wife, and it was paired with local wine—more than one glass was possible. At 100 GEL for two people, it was great value. We also visited a vineyard with Gela; as the grape harvest approached, we picked grapes to take home and pressed them ourselves. He also took us to a nearby monastery and gave us plenty of time to explore. The whole experience cost 100 GEL and was a highlight of our stay. Breakfast was tasty, and on the day of departure Silvia kindly prepared it for us at 7 am so we could leave early for the airport. This place isn’t for those seeking luxury or modern hotel facilities, but if you appreciate genuine hospitality, authentic local experiences, and outstanding value, it’s truly special. We left with wonderful memories and would gladly recommend it.

“Sehr einfach, aber die Gastfreundschaft ist überwältigend”

We were warmly greeted by the landlord with a glass of wine, and communication worked fine with Google Translate. After just an hour we were in the landlord’s car, which took us to a winery for a tasting as we had arranged. Everything was relaxed and smooth, and we could also have dinner at the accommodation, prepared by the landlord’s wife and served on the terrace. The meal featured several cold and hot traditional Georgian dishes, exactly as one would expect – authentically Georgian. The price was completely reasonable, and we were served the landlord’s own wine; we bought other drinks ourselves. Breakfast was also served on the terrace at the agreed time and was plenty. We often talked with the landlord about the countryside, people, and family. He is modest and unobtrusive. We asked him if he knew a beekeeper nearby, and he did. The next morning he took us to a neighbour’s place where we tasted and bought honey and saw how Georgians live on the land – simple, clean, and very hospitable. Our accommodation itself was very simple, but clean and tidy. There is a small communal kitchen with a fridge. The place is on a side street to the centre, which is a 10‑minute walk away. A car is highly recommended for exploring. When we arrived, we were a bit disappointed: the street has very simple houses, some abandoned, which is unfortunately typical of the region; younger people move to larger cities.

The hosts were very friendly and surprised us right away with a glass of wine from their own vineyard. We mainly used Google Translate for communication, which worked well. Breakfast was sufficient, and we could have dinner on the day of arrival. The room was very comfortable and spacious, but the heating didn’t work. There is a small communal room with a fridge and a washing machine.
