Koba Qaldani's Guest house

“UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE”

The place was clean, warm, and breakfast was decent, and the location in the middle of town was good. Even though the place was clean and the water hot, we found ourselves in an unpleasant situation. We noticed that there was no lock on any of the doors, so we decided to trust more, especially since the “town” has only a few houses. Someone got into our room at dinner time and stole our stuff. The same happened to the other guests staying there. It was a particularly uncomfortable situation because when you are trekking you never pass by any big city and you cannot buy back any of the missing items. In our case the stolen items were bathroom utilities and (female) underwear, which made us feel particularly unsafe. For the other guests the stolen items were much more expensive (electronics, sight‑glasses, etc). I leave this review not against the owners, who were promptly available to hear us out at 1 in the morning, but rather to inform and prevent any of you from finding yourselves in the same situation. If you decide to come to this homestay, know that the rooms are indeed clean and the heater is often on, but your safety and the safety of your belongings is much more at risk.

It’s okay to stay, after all it’s a village with limited conditions, and there’s no other choice.

A good stop on the trail. The shower and toilets were reasonable. The family member who received us was kind and helpful. They took care of the horses that carried us across the river. The shower had a weak flow.

“Nicht noch einmal”

It’s fine for a hike and a night. Unfortunately the shower has no water pressure at all; when you hold the hose over your head it only drips. The beds are completely saggy, you feel like you’re sleeping directly on metal. At arrival the staff ignored us. On departure the owner tried to sell us a river crossing for 25 GEL and wrote something on a small note from a block of paper. We declined because it seemed suspicious. In hindsight that was good, because the crossing was cheaper directly on the river and we could cross the river without horses. We didn’t feel like a guest at all, but rather someone from whom they wanted to take as much money as possible.

The location is great, with a bar and terrace, but the shower works poorly and breakfast feels overpriced compared to other places in Svaneti.
