Guest house Babaka

The host was amazing, super helpful, kind and attentive. He even booked places for the bus and gave us a lift to the bus station early in the morning.

It wasn't easy to find via Google maps but people around were very helpful.

Gila, Silvia and the family made us very welcomed in their guesthouse. We were lucky enough to experience grape harvest time which was truly an incredible experience. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was great as was the dinner experience in the family wine cellar.

Leaving

We had a wonderful two-night stay at Guest House Babaka. The accommodation is simple, but considering the very reasonable price, it offers exceptional value for money. What really makes this place special, however, is the incredible warmth and hospitality of the hosts, Silvia and Gela. They are genuinely kind and welcoming people who make you feel at home. They speak limited English, but with a little help from Google Translate, communication was never a problem. We stayed in a triple room with a private balcony. There is also a small shared kitchen area in the hallway, used by two rooms, with a dining table and everything needed to make coffee or enjoy your own food. It is not equipped for cooking meals, but was perfectly adequate for our needs. One evening, we had dinner with the hosts, which was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, plentiful and varied, and Silvia had also made sure there were vegetarian options for my wife. The meal was accompanied by local wine, with the possibility of enjoying more than one glass. At 100 GEL for two people, it was excellent value. We also enjoyed a visit to the vineyard with Gela. As the grape harvest was approaching, we even got to pick some grapes to take home and press ourselves. He also took us to a nearby monastery and gave us plenty of time to explore. The whole experience cost 100 GEL and was one of the highlights of our stay. Breakfast was delicious too, and on our departure day, Silvia kindly prepared it for us at 7 in the morning so we could leave early for the airport. This is not a place to choose if you are looking for luxury accommodation or modern hotel facilities. But if you appreciate genuine hospitality, authentic local experiences and outstanding value for money, it is a truly special place. We left with wonderful memories and would happily recommend it!

The location is quite far from the centre (important up hill) but this is why its a quiet area. The room was clean.

Comminication is difficult given that they do not sepeak english. Kitchen was dirty so we could not use it when we arrived. Breakfast was poor and we felt like it was leftovers from their dinner. We had not got toilet paper but we asked them and they came inmediately.
