There were small things, but the rest was so good that I dont really care about bad things. All perfect!

The guesthouse is the perfect local experience for a stop along mestia-ushguli. The lady received me with tea, jelly, bread and yoghurt. Even though my russian is beginner level she understood me and I explained everything. I felt like at my grandmothers place, she took good care of everyone there. She cooked amazing, we were all so full :)

We had a very nice stay at Nora's guesthouse. The house is large and clean, and there is also a cozy spacious garden where we could chill on the hammocks. The old lady was very friendly and attentive to all our needs.

I had to share a room despite booking a full room.

Nora is a very nice and welcoming host. Speaking Russian makes communication much easier. Her chacha is really good!

Nothing

Super nice stay, babushka treated me like I was her own daughter. Food was plentiful, bed was comfortable, and the views of the mountains were great! And very close to the hiking trail. The dog was super cute too!! She didn’t speak any English but it was easy to communicate with my limited Russian, google translate, and lots of smiles. It was 70 lari for a snack, dinner, breakfast and a packed lunch.

We had 3 courses (extra pay) but all 3 were the same. As i heard from other hikers many guesthouses provide various traditional cuisine.

Location is great as it is very close to start point for second day of the trekking. The host is a lovely lady 'Babushka' , no English but still possible to communicate with google translate.

Amazing location in the middle of a field. Beautiful view and great food. All of that without mentioning Nora who’s the best host I’ve ever met. I’ll never forget her.

If you want a taste of the real Svaneti experience Nora's guesthouse is the place to go. The hostess Nora is a kind al Georgian lady who provides a great reception for her guests, The propery is an old charming georgian house with a magnificent view, Staying here is like stepping into a time machine, truly worthwhile experience.

The town of Zhabeshi itself has very little going on. Nora's is great though. Thank you!

Nora was a wonderful host. She looked after us very well and provided good food, tea and a little cha cha. She doesn't speak English but we got by. The rooms are basic but beds are very warm and comfortable - exactly what we needed after the hike.

All good, nothing to say.

Great experience at Nora's house. She's very welcoming and I felt like a real guest

The price on Booking.com is only a suggestion as things get expensive or double since it is per person and not per room. This is all the trekkers experience on the trail regardless where you stay. I do however, blame booking.com for not setting stricter rules.

We loved Nora. She is a senior older lady very warm and hospitable. You feel at your granny's house. Food was good and a lot for dinner and for breakfast you get the dinner leftovers and an egg. All home made by Nora. Love her energy as she is constantly moving. In a way we enjoyed staying with and at Nora's

Nora’s is a very sweet lady that made us feel welcome. You directly get a grandmother vibes. Be ready to be very hungry, you will get a lot of nice food and it is hard to say no 😊

Paid 70 lari (one person) for a private room with light lunch, really good dinner and breakfast. Old lady in charge was very friendly and communicating in Russian was easy.

Everything was perfect to us 💕

Our stay at Nora's was wonderful, it felt like staying at a grandma's house. It's an authentic in a Svane-style house. We were treated with some snacks upon our arrival and Nora's meals were delicious. The house is clean and very tidy. We recommend 200%!
