Babi & Tata's House

Great place with majestic view of the village. Very nice hospitality

If you’re looking for a local experience and meeting two brilliant girls from Ushguli that’s the place to stay in ! They both speak English perfectly and make sure you’re having everything you need! The guest house has a beautiful terrasse for summer time and in winter they light a fire in the living area so you can make your ski gears dry

Good communication before arrival, girls were speaking in English, we were warmly welcomed. Rooms were clean. The water was very hot.

It was very cold, and in order to use shared bathroom you need to go through the terrace outside. In the end of October it was too cold for comfortable stay. We had one heater per room, but the isolation of the building is not enough, on the bed next to the window you can feel the cold air from the outside. I do not recommended staying during the cold nights, but if it would be summer time it would be no problem at all. I advise to ask for the price before you get any drink.

The host speaks fluent English. She is very nice, polite and helpful. The room is clean and tidy, and the most important is that there is a heater in our room which saves us when the temperature dropped abruptly during our stay. There are two shared bathrooms. Food is plentiful, actually more than we can eat even after a day of hiking.

Nothing

Excellent food

It was a really nice stay. Place is not super easy to find but locals will direct you. Rooms are basic but cozy enough. There're heaters and 2 shared bathrooms/wc. Hosts are nice and responsive. Showed us around and provided a place under the roof for our bikes. The dining room has a great view to Ushguli and the breakfast was tasty and rich. We enjoyed being there. Oh, and there's also a small old chapel there on the territory)

Stunning location with breathtaking views of the Caucasus Mountains. Clean and simple accommodation, adding to the unique, almost medieval atmosphere of the village.

Additional charges for tea, coffee, which we didn’t quite expect. Rooms were very basic - we had three and some didn’t have the furniture shown in photos (e.g., bedside tables, mirrors). Kitchen use wasn’t allowed, even though it was shown in the pictures.

Very friendly family prepared a dinner and breakfast for us, but it was way more than we could ever eat 🫣

It's a new guesthouse at Murkmeli run by women of the house. So rooms and showers were spotlessly clean. There are currently 4 rooms and 2 showers/toilets with plenty of hot water. We had some rain during our horse ride at Ushguli and they provided heaters for both of our rooms. So we could dry some of our clothes. Murkmeli is small and beautiful part of Ushguli. There are still just a few guesthouses at Murkmeli. So village is very quiet and peaceful. It's just a small walk to main part of Ushguli with plenty of nice views. Just next to guesthouse is old church and Svaneti towers are all around the house. They provide home made meals for extra cost and these were tasty and plentiful. Girls of the house speak English and if you know some Russian then you can speak with other members of family too about their life at Ushguli. It wasn't easy to find a best option to stay at Ushguli as some of guesthouses at main part of village have plenty of fake reviews and the real situation of rooms and showers could be different. I'm happy that we found this house. You can put a sign of your guesthouse to road through Murkmeli close to your house. So hikers arriving to Ushguli without bookings could turn to your house and ask for rooms at the entry to Ushguli.
