    We had a very nice stay. The hostess is very kind and hospitable. Her breakfasts were amazing. We also warmly recommend having dinner at Dodo's family's restaurant around the corner, Cafe Panorama, where they serve delicious traditional Svanetian dishes. The hospitality of the Japaridze family is something we won't forget and if we go back to Mestia we will definitely book a stay at Dodo's again!

    It was not entirely safe and convenient for travelling with 1.5y.o.: 1. There was big gaps in stairs handle where kid can fall badly and injure himself. 2. Smoking allowed on the property(on the patio) (people was nice and smoked 10meters away when we asked) 3. Breakfast was delicious but it was not included for baby(we have to share ours) on the middle of the stay host added a bit more food for us to compensate that.

    Location, communication, hospitality, breakfast(quality), cleanliness(especially shower) help with advices from the host and even help with find a taxi to Ushguli or Challadi glacier.

    all good:)

    Very hospitable place in the old real house of the region. Very friendly host, preparing amazing breakfasts and what you don't eat she will pack for your mountain adventures:) Room was big and airy, no air con though. There's a wifi. Close to central market with restaurants. There's also an open air "kitchen annex" if you want to make a sandwich etc.

    The host was really kind. She even provided traditional breakfast, and on our last morning at Dodo, she prepared lunchbox for us so that we had a proper breakfast during our trip to Tbilisi. I truly recommend her. We will definitely come back to Dodo next year!

    The breakfast was only from 9:00 which can be a bit late if a longer day hike is planned.

    The room we had was big and comfortable and had its own bathroom. Otherwise there is a shared bathroom outside for the other rooms. The breakfast in the morning was plenty and the owner insisted we take the leftovers which is nice for an afternoon snack.

    It was fine :)

    Accommodation in the very centre of Mestia, but in a very quiet street. The room was small but clean and enough for an overnight stay after trekking in the mountains. The lady owner was very nice and helpful. She doesn't speak much English but you can always understand each other somehow. Included in our stay was a very good home cooked breakfast which was plentiful and filled us up. Unfortunately we had to leave before breakfast the second day, however the owner had prepared a lunch box for us to take on the road. The stay was overall very enjoyable.

    I had booked the deluxe double room and stayed here for three nights. It was great and comfortable stay, especially as a solo female traveler. I had this room to myself, it was spacious and very comfy. It even had a couch, the door had a key and lock. There wasn’t a wall charger next to the bed so it was a tad inconvenient if I wanted to charge phone and look at it on the bed at the same time, but not that big a deal. Obviously this is a cozy guest house, not a hotel, and the accommodations are as such, but it was great. The house was a little hard to find at first, location on google and Apple Maps didn’t seem accurate, so I asked somebody else. Dodo was so kind and had a lovely breakfast prepared where I met some of the other travelers she was hosting. We spoke in Russian. Besides breakfast and the first introduction I didn’t see her much, we had different schedules. But her home is cozy and I would certainly recommend to others!

    Mrs Dodo will take care of you like her own, from start to finish we felt at home with her. She is happy to help and advise with everything, even before you ask:) Even though we didn't speak the same language, we still managed to agree on everything and she always accommodated us. The accommodation is cosy and everything is done in a very homely atmosphere. The breakfast is top notch, everything is home cooked. The bonus is that the house is centrally located, so you have a short walk everywhere. There is her family's Café just next door. We will miss Mrs Dodo and her house and we are looking forward to our next stay! Გმადლობთ!

    Dodo is very nice and kind person. Everyday she makes for us breakfast like in home. Our room with bathroom was very clean and comfortable for us. Old style but we like this very much. Localisation is perfect, just in the city center but in very quiet street. Everything was perfect :)

    Dodo is a consummate host, and you should not hesitate to book a lovely guesthouse stay with her. She was extremely detail-oriented and attentive to our every need, helped us with advice, personally prepared a wonderful breakfast for us every morning, and shared with us so much about Svaneti and Mestia. We are already looking forward to returning!
