    Even though English communication was limited, Dodo was very sweet and caring. We really enjoyed our stay at her guesthouse.

    Nothing to say.

    A very homely guest house. Dodo is lovely and made us very welcome. When we were off hiking before breakfast was served, she made us a packed lunch. The breakfast itself is fresh and plentiful.

    Dodo was really kind and helpful. The communication with her was a littlebit funny because of the language but we have sorted it out - you can use Google Translate if you don't understand each other. She uses the Booking messenger very well. We left early and she gave us a big lunchbox with plenty of food. The room itself was really simple but clean - a cosy place to spend few nights with local surroundings. You can make tea and coffee on the terrace anytime. I glady recommend this place for thoose who do not seek fancy and boring accomodation.

    The location on google doesn’t quite get you to the place, if you turn the street right by Panorama bar you’ll see a small green sign saying “Dodo”

    Nice room, clean and comfy, our host was a lovely lady, easier to speak Russian than English with her. She made delicious breakfasts and was very friendly.

    The hostess Doda was very nice and helpful. She speaks Russian, which we didn't, but it's not really a problem. The family also owns a restaurant Panorama near the guesthouse - worth a visit, food was great! Good location near to the centre.

    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.

    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 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.
