Reviews of Elos Guesthouse

Elo is an amazing host! Very accommodating and available in whatsapp. We did the Mestia-Ushguli trek, and after a long hard day Elo sent a driver to pick us up from the trail to the guesthouse (and back) for free. She helped us arrange a driver to Ushguli and the to Mestia. Breakfast&dinner were varied and abundent.

Comfortable beds, tasty food and a good shower. I slept very well here! The family who run the guesthouse are also incredibly kind - they checked with guests if they need picking up from the trail as the guesthouse is a little further away. A good atmosphere in the house and the children are delightful. The wifi worked fine too, breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

Travellers should be aware that it is a little far from Khalde/Iprari (especially after the long hike from Adishi) - not a problem as the hosts can pick you up

Elo and her family were absolutely wonderful and incredibly friendly. They made us feel truly welcome, just like at home. They even arranged a free pickup from the hiking trail to their place and back again. The whole family was so supportive and always eager to help. ❤️

This was my favorite guesthouse we stayed at in Svaneti! They helped us with transportation to and from the guesthouse, provided tea upon arrival, and the dinner and breakfast was great. They were also just a very kind family and you can tell they care about people. It was a pleasure to meet you!

I felt welcomed from the moment I arrived. I was offered free coffee and tea, the owner agreed to individual arrangements for breakfast, the food was delicious and there was much more than I could eat. On top of that the communication has been amazing, I was picked up in Iprari, dropped off to continue my trek to Ushguli and arranged transport to Mestia the following day. The rooms were comfortable and clean, I had everything I needed and more! I highly recommend staying at Elos guesthouse, it was truly a pleasure staying there and would definitely stay again in the future.

We had the place in advance , thinking it is in Iprari. When we got to Iprari we were told it was further down the way, but no one told us how far. We could not contact the hosts since we had no reception in our phones, so we ended up walking for about 2 hours past Iprari, till we found the place. When we got there, we already felt so exhausted from what we've been through, and we did not feel like staying there (we never entered the room, so can not testify how the place looks from the inside) - the outside and the general view of the village were not what we were looking for. We decided to ask the father of the family to take us to Ushguly, and found an alternative stay there. We offered to pay the full amount for the room, which is only fair, and of course paid for the ride to Ushguly. But when we got to Ushguly we looked again at the reservation, and saw that they offer a free ride from Iprari- which left us with a sour taste.

Very nice family running the place with a bountiful dinner and breakfast

The location is a bit far from the trail

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely guesthouse with a very kind and welcoming family. The hosts were always in touch via WhatsApp and made sure we had everything we needed. Since the house is a bit off the main hiking trail, they picked us up by car when we arrived and brought us back to the trail the next day — free of charge. We had an excellent, generous dinner with chacha and wine, and a delicious breakfast the next morning. Elos also helped us the following evening by driving all the way to Ushguli to pick us up and take us back to Mestia for 50 GEL (оn the way, he even treated us to ice cream and lemonade). Thanks to this, we could leave our backpacks in his car for the day and hike the final stage from Iprari to Ushguli with just light daypacks — which made a big difference! Highly recommended — we felt truly taken care of.

Beautiful family , beautiful home. We had such a lovely evening - after being collected from the trail and taken to a more secluded part of the village. Along with our wine, we were given bread and cheese to enjoy (delicious!) and were welcomed into the family space so warmly. We were sad we could not stay longer .

Nothing at all.

Wonderful friendly family who were eager to help. The dinner was quite nice. For an authentic Georgian stay I recommend you stay here

A really wonderful host in a beautiful location. The guesthouse is a little farther from Iprali than I expected, but they offer to send a ride to pick you up. Phone reception can make that difficult to coordinate but they managed to go out and find one of the other couples staying here. They also gave us a ride back to the trail the next morning. The meals are big and very tasty. And it's run by a kind family with charming kids. You might get a chance to befriend some piglets as well.

There's no phone reception and the WiFi signal is very weak but it was enough to take care of some basics.

Elo was very accommodating and made delicious dinner and breakfast. The bed was comfortable.

The guesthouse is a little further away from the trail but they offer a free taxi to the guesthouse and back to the trail in the morning.

Elos and her usbend where so nice, They came to take us from Iprari after a long trip and the next day, they took us to the start of the trip. The food was great and the hospitality was warm and kind. After dinner, we played with the kids and enjoyed the family feeling

Elos & her family are extremely welcoming and hospitable. They made us feel like we were at home! Beautiful family :)

We had a very nice stay at Elo's Guesthouse! Elo picked us up for free in Iprari and drove us to the guesthouse which is in a nearby village. We also got free transfer back to the trail the day after. The room was nice and so was the food. A big highlight is Elo and his sweet family, very friendly people!

The room was a bit cold when we arrived but got better before we went to bed

The hosts are so very kind! I had a lovely stay- cozy room, hot shower, delicious breakfast, and I appreciate that they picked me up and dropped me back off at the trail

The host is very kind! Because there was no signal from adishi to iprari. She was worried about me and sent a car to pick me up in Khalde. The food was also great! Definitely the best guesthouse throughout the hike!

The host family was very welcoming and provided us with everything we needed. Breakfast and dinner were fresh and delicious. Since the accommodation was a bit farther from the city center, free transportation was provided (my legs are very grateful!). The house was still undergoing renovations, but that didn’t bother us at all.

The shower was a bit tricky to use, and the internet was slow — but that’s to be expected in such a remote location.

Elo and her family were absolutely wonderful hosts! We felt so incredibly welcome, greeted with big smiles from the moment we arrived. After a long hike, Elo even offered a complimentary pickup from Iprari and helped us dry our soaking wet shoes – a true lifesaver! We loved spending the evening by their cozy fireplace, playing card games with her kids. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, with generous portions that kept us fueled. Highly recommend!

Room is spacious and heater is good

Simon the owner kept tapping my knees while talking when he was fetching me from Khaldechala in the car and he grabbed my finger to look at my wedding ring too.
