Reviews of Gunter Guest house

The host was kind and flexible, the room was clean and gave us a place to rest on our trekking trip. The food was tasty (especially the shuka egg tomato dish at breakfast)

While the food tasted good, it was a bit pricier compared to other places on the trek (45 lari per person instead of 30-35 lari), it was vegetarian (whereas other places offered meat), and the portions were a bit small for sharing family style at dinner. It was very crowded when we were there; maybe 15-20 people sharing 2 bathrooms so we had to wait in line almost every time. The mattress was extremely firm which was not our preference

Gunter Guest House is an authentic experience along the trail from Mestia to Ushguli. The house was very clean, cozy and essential. We had the luck of being there while the host was Anna, who could speak Italian which made everything easier and gave us the opportunity to ask many questions and get to understand much more about the place and its surroundings. I was pleasantly surprised, especially after reading some unfair reviews. I'm afraid that not all the travelers understand the Adishi context. Along the trail this is the most rural place you will encounter. Residents are opening their homes to tourists providing everything that is possible to give them in a remote area without proper roads and facilities. Prices may be "higher" compared to less rural villages but the residents also have higher expenses to get that they need to run their guesthouse. Don't be afraid to ask if you think something is lacking and you will get everything you need, just like we did. If you expect to stay in a fancy place you are definitely in the wrong place, if you are searching for an authentic and memorable experience in a simple and humble rural mountain village you are in the right place instead.

Beautiful location. Friendly host

The stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms are comfortable and clean, the atmosphere is warm and homely, and the location is excellent. The staff who welcomed us were wonderful – they hosted us with a big smile, helped with everything, and made sure we felt at home. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mestia!

Very nice room, all in wood, clean toilet, quiet place, great guesthouse, friendly staff

Dinner was a little less compared to other guesthouses, but anyway good value. I liked the fejoa jam!!

The property was very rustic and charming, built by the owners grandfather. The staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. The food was tasty and I was provided with vegan options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The guesthouse had a good atmosphere and nice mix of people. Facilities were basic but comfortable

The bathroom could do with a shower curtain to stop water getting everywhere

Lovely owner, great location and the beds were very decent.

Only one bathroom for the whole guesthouse.

10/10 vibes, everyone working at the guesthouse is very warm and welcoming.

Homey and very friendly hosts

Meals were very expensive compared to everything else we paid for during our stay in Georgia

The hosting family was very warm and welcoming and I really enjoyed my time in the guesthouse. The room is comfortable and cozy and the whole atmosphere felt really authentic. Dinner and breakfast were really good.

The best - lovely house and wonderful family

The food was insanely good, super friendly people

Such a beautiful little guesthouse!! Everything was great!

The family / staff were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast they served was fresh and homemade. The overall value for money was good (accommodation + food).

The facilities were old and broken. The toilet and shower were both broken (the bath base was very wobbly and you could easily have fallen over; toilet cistern was constantly flushing). The meals were the most expensive we had on the Mestia - Ushguli hike (40 GEL each for breakfast, 40 GEL each for dinner and 10 GEL for a very basic lunch). The rooms we had didn't have any windows (so no fresh air).

I stayed in the 10 bed dorm and had a great time. The staff were very welcoming, spoke multiple languages and made sure that I felt comfortable. The guesthouse was very clean, with good WiFi and comfortable beds and showers. Although I decided not to buy dinner and breakfast, I wasn't treated any differently, and the smells coming from the kitchen made me wonder if I had made a mistake. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

There are two bathrooms for the whole guesthouse, which can be problematic at times.

The hosts were truly exceptional. So lovely and welcoming, wanting to share their life and stories. They made incredible dinner, breakfast and lunch box and beautiful start to finish.

The house definitely has character, the bathroom could use some improvement.

Authentic old house in beautiful surroundings! Very authentic and basic - but loved the hospitality and authenticity ! Can certainly recommend

The accommodation is simple with a nice garden - best you can expect far of from main roads. The highlight was the nice joint dinner - just what you need after a long hike.

A gorgeous place to stay. Great location, sunset or wake to the sound of the river. Staff are generous and warm; dinner and breakfast are fabulous. I adored it.

Nothing.

Seemed like a good location and a beautiful old house

When we arrived after a long day of hiking unfortunately they had given away our booked room so they called a neighbour guest house to have us stay there. However they wanted us to return to their house for dinner and breakfast (for a cost). We made it clear if we were staying elsewhere we wanted to eat there (also more fair to this guesthouse!) but this seemed like an issue so they had to haggle with the new guesthouse owner for quite a while whilst we waited exhausted. Eventually they relented and we could stay and eat in the neighbouring house - which was great so a massive thank you to the kind and patient neighbour!

The family/staff, food was very good (and plenties)
