I have no complaints. I would note it is a bit more expensive than other stays along the route, but as mentioned the variety and quality of food is more than worth it!

Staff are friendly and the rooms are comfortable. The food was a particular stand out!

This has more of an old-school youth hostel vibe than a traditional guest house. Ideal for a one night stay to reset while hiking but it's not somewhere to stay longer than a night.

Gunter's is popular with hikers on the Mestia-Ushguli route and is a good convivial place to gather for dinner in the evening after a long day and an early start on the cards. Food is plentiful and everyone eats together, which is nice. Good for solo hikers, groups, and couples.

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

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)

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.

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!

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

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

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

Only one bathroom for the whole guesthouse.

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

Such a beautiful little guesthouse!! Everything was great!

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

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.

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

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 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.

Nothing.

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.

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

The price for dinner and breakfast felt a bit high compared to other guesthouses we stayed at during our trek — we paid less elsewhere and were usually offered more food. However the room itself was quite affordable and we didn't go hungry, so it wasn’t a major issue for us overall.

We paid around 50 GEL for a double room, and the price-to-quality ratio was quite fair. Our room was warm, clean, and cozy. The internet worked fine, and the hosts were generally pleasant and helpful.

The building is a bit rough (but to be fair most of the stuff in this village was). We felt like the food was very expensive compared to other places.

They made a nice breakfast and dinner. The mother is very nice.

Stayed in July 2025

The price for the meals they offered relatively higher, we paid 140 GEL for dinner and breakfast and I’d not say the meals really worth it. Not as abundant and tasty as the other I had during the trek with much lower price. The room is cozy.

They provide a small electronic stove in the room to keep you warm. Bathroom is clean. But there’s no water supply when we arrive, only available at the late evening.
