Our 2 night stay at the Guesthouse was enjoyable and friendly.  Our host, Portella, has a warm and engaging approach to her customers.  The food was good, the rooms have a grand view and it is centrally located.  What I highly cherished was the building, built in the 12th century and has been in our hosts family all this time, the renovated building gave an authentic element to our stay.

We liked everything.

The host lady is super nice and hospitable. We were wet after a rainy hike and she put us in front of the stove and helped us warm up with blankets etc. It was a memorable experience.

There were some power outages in the village during our stay - not the fault of the guesthouse but it is a thing to keep in mind. There also was a spider in the bathroom.

Great location and view from the room. There is also a cafe in the guesthouse and a few more around. Everything was clean. The owner doesn't speak english well but she is very nice and eager to help.

The mattress

Nice view from the balcony Excellent food in the Café Very friendly owner who gives Informations and organizes or bring you somewhere (Mestia, Kutaissi) while showing things on the way... that was a nice trip 😀

It is a hotel more than a guesthouse, as there is not so much contact with the family (compared to the other experiences we had in Svaneti). There is not an indoor common area where to relax. You can stay in your room, in the terrace or in the garden but I would recommend to have a space inside where hikers can chill out.

Our room was clean, nice and with mountain view. The two common bathrooms were also clean. The food they gave us for dinner was very good. The owner speaks good English.

Very welcoming owner who treated us with tea, chacha and wine! Very cosy guesthouse

We liked everything, but the room comfort would benefit from adding more shelves to put your stuff.

Perfect localization at the heart of the village makes it easy to explore the surroundings, also perfect base for hikes. The food served at the cafe is amazing home quality. The house itself dates back to the 14th century.

The location was superb, but be aware its up a very cobbled street. Great views of the mountains.

Stayed for a night at the end of the Mestia-Ushguli hike. Comfortable room with a hit shower, perfect for unwinding after a long day of walking; amazing views of the mountains; most of all, a lovely host who makes great food in the cafe housed in a 14th century building.

The shower pressure was a little weak, and we missed enough shelfs and power sockets.

Super hospitable and friendly host, room was warm and comfortable, at a good location. We also dined at the cafe of the guesthouse (Cafe Svaneti) and they had the best food and wine we had tried in Svaneti region. The host Mirian also made sure we had transport on time back to Mestia.

There was nothing that decreased our enjoyment of Ushguli

Potolo was the perfect host and she produced the best meals we've had in Georgia. The wine was of a very high quality as well. Guesthouse Ivas is in the right place to see the towers and walk to the Glacier

One of the best stays in Georgia! Nice, clean room with a view over the mountains. Private bathroom. Very helpful host! They helped us to fix a flat tyre (arranged a transport to Mestia by family member)

Very nice, authentic place, if you want to have a local experience in Ushguli. Great view from the balcony and also they are prepared for cold nights with warm blankets and heater in the rooms. The host lady was super, she did everything, so we could feel like being at home. She offered coffe and some fruits upon arrival and also when we left she gave us her home made cake. She prepared deliciouse local dishes for breakfast and dinner on her authentic old oven. The owner of the place (brother of the host lady) was also friendly and helpful.

The host is super nice and makes very tasty local food. I highly recomend stay in this place for a night in Ushguli and have dinner!

Nice room with private bathroom, big heater and a beautiful view on the mountain. Ground floor, with easy access. And most of all, the owner is a very nice lady who cooks delicious local dishes in her big traditional wood stove. Breakfast is also very good (there are eggs, potatoes and even daily fresh pastries!). The building is made of stones and wood, heritage of her family.
