Позднее заселение, очень отзывчивый хозяин

Serious face of host, bad WiFi, bad location, but valuable

Private,quiet and clean

The room was okay, nothing special. The air conditioning and downstairs kettle worked. The bus station isn't too far away.

You can get much, much better accommodation in Tbilisi or Kutaisi for a similar or even lower price. 180 Lari for three nights is much too expensive, given that it is in an industrial suburb. The rating is also grossly inflated - it is 6 or 7, at a stretch. On the second night of my three-night stay, I was downstairs making a coffee, at the kitchenette, which the ‘hostess’ hadn’t bothered to inform me that I could use, presumably hoping that I wouldn’t. I then see the ‘hostess’, literally five feet away, and give a brief acknowledgement, which is polite in any country or culture that I have ever visited. However, she deliberately ignores me and looks right through me, refusing to even acknowledge me when I raise a hand.I don’t expect smiles, happiness and joy from everyone I meet. I do expect a basic acknowledgement, as a courtesy. Even better, a Georgian family then walks in and she turns on her fake hospitality for the benefit of the children, plastering a smile across her face and making stupid noises. I know full well she did this on purpose and tried to create a situation because I saw her reaction when I came in later. She deliberately tried to antagonise me and then lied, presumably also to her husband, that she hadn’t meant to cause offence nor create a situation. I made clear to the accommodation that I was not willing to accept this when I am a paying guest and asked for a refund of the last night. When I left the following day, I did not receive an apology and her husband tried to pretend it was part of a cultural misunderstanding on my part. No, it wasn’t. I have lived in more than 10 countries, and have actually lived in Georgia for eight months, and so am fully aware of cultural differences. And I have also certainly experienced stupid, disrespectful behaviour like this on too many occasions in Georgia. However, I am also aware that it is not part of Georgian ‘culture’ to be deliberately rude, disrespectful and discourteous, like she was.

Меня встретила очень милая хозяйка Мано, номер был чистый, свежий, не было никаких проблем с горячей водой. Внутри номера есть свой туалет и дешевая, идеальный вариант для тех, кто хочет отдохнуть от городской суеты вдали от туристической зоны. Мано, спасибо!

Минусов никаких нет, всё было отлично

Great place. Friendly host. Quick check in. Everything was super. Decided to stay 2 more days than planned.
