Reviews of Century House of Larisa

Khalde is a cute little place to stay, just a few km short of Iprali. Check in was easy with the help of the English-speaking children), beds were very very comfy, breakfast was plentiful and tasty.

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

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.

Everything, amazing family, help us with all our needs. We just finish our track and they made amazing dinner and breakfast. Beka, their son, have lots of knowledge and good english.

Nothing

Good location to spend the night if hiking Lagem Pass to Ushguli. The shower had hot water.

When we arrived we said we had a booking through booking.com, the lady responded “okay” and then we sat and waited for nearly 10 minutes for her or anyone to talk to us or show us the room. We were just ignored. The price listed on booking.com is NOT what you will pay. You will pay 100lari per person for breakfast dinner and bed. Regardless if you are sharing a room or not? For this price the food was incredibly disappointing, there was zero protein except boiled eggs for breakfast. Totally misleading advertising and extortionate prices for what you get.

I loved relaxing in this beautiful house in Khalde. Dinner and breakfast were really tasty and there was plenty of different dishes to choose from.

Nice food and good view. Friendly host

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

Great place to stay !

Larisa was very helpful. tasty food.

nothing to mention.

Great location and building. The woman running it is lovely. The shower is super hot and wonderful.

In the form I got lucky and had a very comfy bed but half the beds are lumpy mattresses on saggy wire mesh frames, so get there early to claim a good bed 😉

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.

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.

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

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.

It was a roof over our heads with hot water and a bed. Unfortunately it's basically the only option if you plan to hike the Lagem Pass on Day 4 of the Mestia-Ushguli hike (there is one other guesthouse in Khalde but it's more expensive, though probably a worthwhile splurge considering the alternative).

The guesthouse is basic - that's fine. What is not okay is ripping off your customers by charging 65 lari each for a pathetic dinner and even more pathetic breakfast. It's pure extortion based on the fact that this is essentially a monopoly and guests don't have alternative meal choices in Khalde. The cost would be easier to stomach if the quality of the meals was on par with other guesthouses on this hike but this was not the case (thankfully we were not served plain pasta, stale bread and sugary rice for breakfast anywhere else during our week hiking in Svaneti). Would recommend staying further down the road in Iprari or splurging on the other guesthouse in Khalde.

Larisa was such a nice lady, She welcomed us to her home immediately after we were soaked by the rain. The food was delicious both breakfast and dinner. 220 GEL ( Breakfast, dinner, lunchbox,stay ) for 2 people. The location is right near the trail and far from Lparli around 1 hour of walking. Thanks Larisa, Hope to see you one day in Israel ;)

Incredible location and a nice balcony.

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.

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.

Larissa was the best host! So kind, so funny, and very helpful (we arrived late and very wet, and she helped us to dry our boots). She is also.an amazing cook - her dinner was one of the best in Svaneti. The rooms are small, but very confy and warm. For us, the location was great, so we could split the distance to iprali. Great hot shower

Hospitality, the food, the garden, the location.

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

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.

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

It's a unique location if you're hiking from Mestia to Ushguli. It allows you to shorten your hike if you want to make it through Lagem Pass on day 4. It's a century-old traditional house, and the rooms are quite small. It can be noisy at night because of the other guests. Don't expect it to be similar to a big hotel. The host is super friendly. Local dinners and breakfasts are nourishing.
