Nothing.

We had an excellent stay here. Zaal was one of a kind and we are very thankful to have spent an afternoon with him drinking wine and chatting. We have never experienced this type of hospitality before. The breakfast was incredible. Zaal also helped us tour around Telavi for a day and also suggest better travel to Tbilisi than a marshrutka (far more comfortable for a minimum cost increase). The room was very comfortable and the terrace was amazing. Would 100% recommend. Such a great way to get to know Georgian people.

We stayed one night in Telavi at Neli & Zaal's and it was an exceptional experience. The house and the garden are beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious. Zaal helped us from the beginning making suggestions on what to visit in the surroundings in our limited time. He arranged a kind and good driver who brought us to great and interesting places (Telavi Museum, Nekresi Monastery, Gremi and Khareba winery). We had a great evening with Zaal, he shared his homemade wine, chacha and fruits. We got a full experience of Kakhetian hospitality, hearing from the history of the area and live experiences of Zaal. Couldn't recommend it more!

Neli & Zaal have hearts of gold! They are very generous hosts that made me feel very welcome in their beautiful house (the garden is exceptional) and I can only strongly recommend to stay there in Telavi. The breakfast was also delicious!

Not much, we will be back again.

The apartment was perfect for our family. The separate entrance was useful, so we could come and go without disturbing anyone. Neli & Zaal we're lovely hosts who made sure we were comfortable. Zaal also shared some of his homemade wine, which was delicious. The breakfast was also fantastic.

Situated in the quiet, beautiful town of Telavi, Neli and Zaal’s guest house is perhaps the most coziest of stays one can find. They make you feel at home with meaningful conversations and an air of warmth. Don’t forget to try Zaal’s home made wine, which is an absolute delight.

Nothing to dislike at all😊

It’s the best stay we had in all our travels - value for money and the hosts are simply the most hospitable. They served scrumptious meals while sharing with us enlightening stories and facts about their region and country.

Absolutely loved everything. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved everything about Neli and Zaal guesthouse. The house is very comfortable as were the beds. Breakfast was huge, varied, and delicious, with many homemade jams. Shortly after we arrived, Zaal treated us to an amazing spread of fruit, churchkhela snacks, pickles, cheeses, wine, and chacha. Everything was homemade or grown by Zaal. Best of all, Zaal told us about the history of wine making in the Kekheti region of Georgia and also how he learned to make very delicious wine and other spirits. Neli, who's an endocrinologist, joined us after her work was complete for the day, and we continued our very interesting conversation. Neli and Zaal's house and garden are beautiful and very special. My wife and I have traveled to more than 50 countries and have stayed in many guesthouses, hotels, and B&B's, but none have been comparable to the wonderful time we spent together with Neli and Zaal. Obviously, I highly recommend Neli and Zaal Guesthouse.

Absolutely nothing to dislike!

Neli & Zaal have created an absolute oasis on top of the hill, with a gorgeous garden, a huge balcony and comfortable rooms that make you feel like you’re living in luxury. The breakfast was delicious and prepared with so much love and Zaal was a wonderful host, driving us where we needed to go and chatting with us about his life. Our best stay in Georgia, you can stay anywhere else but here when you visit Telavi!

It's located close to the center, yet in a quiet area, which was perfect for a peaceful night's rest. The host was incredibly welcoming and even invited us to sit and enjoy a glass of their wine, adding a personal touch to the experience. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our view from balcony, nice, clean and big room with private bathroom, nice neighbourhood with beautiful garden. Neli and Zaan are very friendly and helpful couple. We are going to travel to Telavi again and stay at Neli and Zaal's beautiful place.

Everything! So relaxing and wonderful atmosphere. You will not find better hosts in Telavi :)

Zaal and Neli are so welcoming, so open and nice, there are no words to describe their hospitality - we had a special degustation with Zaal, we enjoyed their beautiful garden, they were so helpful and gave us many advice, now I understand why they have thrilling reviews - great place, great people. I booked for my mother and her friend

Spacious room, better than the photos. Lovely hosts, copious breakfast. . Very enjoyable wine tasting and explanation.

Stayed in October 2023

We had an entire apartment that was spotless with its own entrance and easy access to the rest of the house. Neli and Zaal were one of the highlights of our entire trip to Georgia. They are natural hosts who clearly love meeting new people and sharing the best of Georgian hospitality with them - the price simply doesn't reflect what is priceless. Zaal generously shared wine and chacha from his own cellar, and we were able to meet many other travelers. Truly lovely people and a beautiful place. This isn't just a homestay, it's an experience!

Excellent room with great view, but the highlight is the warmth of the welcome. We were invited to share in a family gathering and had great discussion and free flowing alcohol with the host! Other guests later joined and this made for an illuminating and enjoyable evening. Thank you for a great evening which we will always remember. Definitely recommended.

Neli and Zaal are the lovliest and most generous couple – together, they epitomize the spirit of hospitality and friendliness. Their amazing food and wine (Zaal’s own), the spacious guest rooms, the terraces and balconies, a flower garden in the back, everything is perfectly arranged to create a welcoming atmosphere. The evening meals and wine tasting at Neli and Zaal’s ‘international table’ are not to be missed! We are sad to leave, but we keep many fond memories of our days with Neli and Zaal. Thank you Neli and Zaal!

Neli and Zaal provided outstanding hospitality during our stay. We enjoyed the community atmosphere with the hosts and other guests, enjoying delicious homemade wine and fresh breakfasts. The room was large and clean and the property had a nice garden for relaxing.

Helpful information about where to visit in and around Telavi. As part of the breakfast at an extra cost, our hostess baked fresh goods and provided home made jams, cheeses and yogurt with fresh fruit that was all very tasty. The outside patio was a great place to mix with fellow travellers. Excellent room with plenty of space, comfortable bed and nice hot shower.
