Our room had one window close to the ceiling but with the other guest room, and all the light and sound came through the window from the other guest room. We had lots of bug bites after sleeping there in the double room. Probably bed bugs.

Overall, good accommodation for the price around the area. Very good food and nice people. The bathroom is warm and works great.

Overpriced. We paid 80 Lari Per person for dinner and breakfast. Much more than at other guesthouses and the food wasn’t better.

Nice food and good view. Friendly host

nothing to mention.

Larisa was very helpful. tasty food.

My bedroom faced onto the upper balcony and only had net curtains. The shutters on the outside wouldn't stay shut, which meant the balcony light shone in my room all night and kept me awake. The food was OK and tasty enough but was more expensive than the other two guesthouses we stayed at on our hike and not as impressive. For example, the dinner had no protein (e.g. meat, cheese, eggs, etc.) at all, and nor did the breakfast apart from boiled eggs. The wifi wasn't working most of the time, but I appreciate it's a challenge getting good coverage in remote locations like this.

I liked the character building and its beautiful location. The shower was fantastic - great water flow and lovely and hot. The host was friendly and welcoming, The bed was comfortable.

The room is very small and cold More expensive than other guest house on the trek Only 2 bathrooms for many people. We were lucky that the dormitory was not full.

The food was great Good location for the 3rd day of Mestia to Ushguli trek

Stayed in October 2024

Some of the food was good (soup, aubergine salad), but some of it was old (stale bread, soggy khachapuri). It was also the most expensive food on our 4 day trek. The wifi didn't work unless you were right next to the router. The bathroom was so tiny, there was nowhere to set your toiletries when you wanted to shower or brush your teeth.

The guesthouse is very old and has so much character! The terrace is nice for relaxing with a breeze, and you can also hang hiking clothes out there. Considering how old it is, the place is surprisingly clean, and the bed was really comfortable. We were only 4 people total staying there, so it was very quiet - not sure how it would be otherwise. Everyone working there was friendly, despite us not speaking the same language.

The facilities are good but very basic. Food and drinks are a bit expensive.

Hospitality, the food, the garden, the location.

Stayed in August 2024

The beds are quite short, but the room is very good concerning, how such a small village it is.

Great option fow overnight stay on trek Mestia-Usghuli. Nice location with stunning history. It was not problem just to book a night without paying for dinner/breakfast. There is no mobile signal, so (slower) wi-fi is a plus. Nice warm atmosphere. Shared bathroom was always available, when we needed. You can also buy some snacks/drinks in a small shop.

It didn't have the same generous atmosphere as other guesthouses we stayed in. For example, at mealtimes there was just enough food (other places made plenty and encouraged you to take leftovers for lunch), plus she charged 10 GEL per shot of very poor chacha (other guesthouses didn't charge, and bars charge 5 GEL for far better quality). I think the overall bill was the most expensive on the trail.

Atmospheric house in a peaceful location, right on the trail. Great outdoor space / bar area to sit and have a drink and talk to people. The soup served for dinner was amazing. Other food was tasty, and I appreciated having some dishes which were not served elsewhere.

The location is great, if you want to shorten the way for the third day of trekking. Great views from the balcony. Good food, but not as abundant as in other guesthouses we stayed at.

Stayed in July 2024

Nothing really. It is very basic, but that should be expected in this location so high in the mountains.

Very friendly family. If you want to stay in Khalde, stay here! We choose it because we took the high (hard but spectacular) route to Ushguli over Lagem pass. But we were very positively surprised by the warm welcome, mountain setting and good food

Dinner is 35 GEL, breakfast is 25. Very nice terrace and the host is sweet.

Nice & friendly host

Prices for dinner, breakfast and beer are significantly higher here than other places in Svaneti. I understand that: it's such a remote place, but be aware when you arrive that you might need to set aside a few more lari than usual for food.

It's a large, very old building in a very remote village. Considering that, the facilities are amazing - shower is powerful and hot, WiFi is great and the beds are super comfortable (we slept like logs!). I wonder if Larisa has started changing the beds? I'd seen reports that the beds were very short, but I'm 6 foot and they were long enough for me! The food that Larisa made us was nourishing and delicious.

Bed was a little uncomfortable, but we were tired enough after our long hike that we fell asleep immediately.

The house is really beautiful and feels like you're stepping back in time. The hosts were friendly and cooked us a lovely dinner. The house is right on the Mestia - Ushguli path and has incredible views of the surrounding mountains.

Had a nice stay here! Food was good, view is great. Nice place to stay on your way to Ushguli.

Stayed in June 2024

The property has some rooms without a window and one single bed I stayed in which was built into the room was particularly short. Not good for tall people. The food wasn’t as plentiful as at other guest houses.

Lovely Host. Great location with incredible views. Lovely stop for a beer on the trail. A good option to shorten day 3 and lengthen day 4 of the Mestia to Ushguli Trek.

Charming and great location. We felt very welcome and the food was fabulous and plentiful.

Too many people for too less toilets at the time of our stay.

Friendly staff. Nice place.

Wi-Fi doesn’t work that well from the rooms but it wasn’t a big issue

Great views and lovely location. A good place to stay if you want to do the Lagem pass route to Ushguli and don’t have a tent. It was cold when we stayed but there were warm blankets in the room and we could dry our boots by the heater. The food was tasty and filling

Stayed in September 2023

Be prepared for more or less "western prices" of beer, wien and everything extra...like everywhere else on Mestia-Usghuli route.

Great location if you want to continue next day to Usghuli via Lagem pass. Very quiet village and nice view from the terrase.

Maybe a mirror in the bathroom would be nice, but nothing important

The best guesthouse on the trek from Mestia to Ushguli. Very remote and authentic and very lovely and friendly hosts who very super welcoming. And amazing views over the valley. Great dinner and breakfast.

Dinner and breakfast were too pricey for us. See through curtain with a person sleeping right in front of our window.

Very friendly staff Can order single dishes like lobiani for a fair price. Mushroom soup was really nice. Really nice shower Amazing location above a canyon with glacier view
