wonderful people! Beautiful location, fabulous food!

Communication was a real tough point as staff, when present, spoke limited English. Not much use for local advice and pointers. Nearly lost access to my room one night when they'd kept the key to fix a smelly drain but made no plans to return it to me.

Expected great things given the reputation, instead got "good". Location is fine as still only a 10-15 minute picturesque walk from the centre, and right on the road to Chaaladi glacier and the airport. Rooms are spacious and mine had a nice enough view over to Mestia and the towers. Nice that the shower had a small boundary preventing water flowing all over the bathroom floor like a wet room. When present, staff were friendly. Was much more family oriented rather than younger or solo travellers. There's kitchen facilities if you want.

Great location close to town and close to the start off the classic Svaneti hiking trail. Eso our host was gracious. The food was really good. The accommodations were clean and very spacious for a guesthouse. The common areas were great. Everything was perfect and we would love to stay again.

A friendly host, who knows English. Walkable distance from the city centre. Good window view from the room and also the common balcony. You can drink tap water it's clean. It is just named as HOUSE and located behind a hotel from the mainroad

We Travelled all the way from Kutaisi to reach Mestia at around 10.30 pm and we were hungry so did dinner at Laaila Restaurant and it was almost 12 am when we reached the google map location but to our surprise we were not able to find the guesthouse and the phone number of the guest house was not attended at this time. Our Guide did his best to find this guest house as the name Manoni Ratiani is nowhere mentioned on the gate. I Request them to put a name plate at the gate as the hotel is behind the main road so that it can be reached with ease. The Breakfast was booked for 6 adults considering 4 adults and 4 kids .. but the space they reserved was us on day 1 was too small to eat comfortably. There was no space to keep any glass for drinking water .. we requested them and then on day 2 they gave us big table.

The Room was Huge , it had 6 beds and was on ground floor hence we did not face any problem to shift our luggage on higher floors. They had a restaurant where we requested for breakfast and they tried their best to make us happy especially with kids. They arranged Kellogg's Chocos for kids in breakfast. The Room was well organized and clean and had AC too. Bathroom was big. The View of the Mestia Mountains from 1st Floor of this Guest House was amazing , they had a swing and seating arrangement there where we can play indoor games.

Unfortunately my stay coincided with a group who had a party on the terrace next to my room into the early hours of the morning, which made enjoying the area/hiking the next day pretty challenging.

Gorgeous setting and good value with super lovely host.

Very kind host, nice and quiet location! Good room and cozy shared terrace!

We stayed in a room for 6 people, there are absolutely no racks so in winter it is little bit difficult to dry all these clothes when you get back from skiing.

Friendly staff, good location, definitely worth of the price we paid. Spent 10 days in here in winter, very good breakfasts and dinners (local Georgian meals). And excellent home made chacha :-)

In one of the houses the canal in bathroom had bad oddors!

Breakfast is a typical Georgian one - very delicious! Rooms are different, some have more space, others are a bit tiny.

The showers were a bit low for tall Dutch guys

It had a nice terrace, a great view and a small supermarket nearby.

Nothing much. Everything was clean and good.

Comfortable guesthouse run by a very friendly family. Nice sitting area and small communal kitchen. Best part was the small gifts from the mama of Easter cakes and chocolates together with the excellent breakfast! Good value for money.

Missing A/C, which is understandable due to the low price. The room was rather clean, but managed to find 2 or 3 spiders lurking around.

The rooms are quite nice, and the price is very good.

Stayed in April 2024

Only thing we did not like were the mattresess - they are not very comfortable.

Breakfast was OK - traditional Georgian breakfast I guess :) We stayed for 7 days and everyday gave me enough energy to ski whole day.

Beds were fairly uncomfortable and the triple room was a bit cramped for three adults.

Lovely hosts and nice shared areas. Hosts could help you out with anything you need.

Location is perfect, cause it's not in the middle of mestia center where it can get quite busy, but you are walking to the city center and also bis station within 10 minutes. So for us it was perfect location for the touristy mestia. You can walk everywhere within 5-15 minutes and guesthouse is quite idyllic with view to the mountains (which you also don't have when staying in the middle of city center). Our host speaks English fluently and also available for skeciam requests or questions :)

It was a bit far away from the centre (but not too far, ca. 10 mins). We were not able to get dinner, though it is also true that we asked for it quite later and there were not that many guests.

The terrace, the room itself and the bathroom inside the room.

Rooms are fine but a bit overstuffed (in our room, we had a large bed and a sofa, but because of the sofa, there was not much space left in the room ; perhaps it would be better to take off the sofa and replace it by an armchair).. Also, there are no reading lamps near the bed. The bathroom is ok but beware, the hot water is very very hot and the shower was leaking and splashing water all over the place (fortunately, we had a shower curtain but it seems that some rooms don't have one). Also, the guesthouse is located outside the city center, after the bridge, but it's only a 10 mn walk to the city center. There is also a restaurant near the hotel (we didn't try it) and a small grocery shop.

The terrace overlooking the river is nice. Breakfast is very good with a lot of different items. The bed was comfiortable. There's a small kitchen where you can store food in the fridge or prepare something if you like. As the guesthouse is located a bit outside the city center, it's quiet at night.

Friendly sevice & excellent food

The shared kitchen is a bit small and slightly underequiped.

I like the atmosphere of the house and the big garden. The owners are very kind and helpful. It is close to the center and still very quiet.
