- Eyal (10/5): Wonderful, friendly, perfect fit for young adults. We extended our stay and we'll sure return. - Vegetarian breakfast and dinner are great. Staff is incredible. We took the separate room with private shower - the facility was wonderful, quiet, friendly, positive energy - we extended our stay and we'll come back. Location is ok, not great, if you want to hike around. We wanted to stay at the facility, so for us it was great.
- Anna (7/5): Pleasant stay for rich backpackers - The atmosphere of the place is friendly, safe and peaceful, we enjoyed staying here and made some friends even though we stayed in a separate room. The food is quite tasty and vegetarian. The building itself and the surroundings are cool to explore and are authentic and charming. We also enjoyed a cozy evening with a campfire. Our room was beyond beautiful, such lovely design, I wish I lived in a room like that. The road between the hostel and Martvili is a nuisance, apparently it's been in repairs for ages and it causes inconvenience. The room didn't have air conditioning, so we slept with windows open (fortunately the area is quiet and luckily we didn't have mosquitos). The cost of the room (160 gel) and the meals (35 and 25 gel per person for dinner and breakfast respectively) felt overpriced, this was the most expensive stay of our trip, although it was a hostel.
- Giorgi (10/5): Just perfect every time - Actually everything! Such a cozy and lovely place -
- Max (10/5): Weltklasse - Eines der besten Hostels, in denen ich jemals war. Alles ist modern ausgestattet und sauber und dennoch charmant und liebevoll eingerichtet. In diesem Hostel sind stets tolle Menschen, die Hostelbesitzer eine sehr nette Familie. Herausragend ist das tägliche Abendessen. Absolut nichts war doof
- Shorena (8/5): -
- dror (10/5): - Cool place.
Really good atmosphere
The food was delicious. Heaven found for (us) vegeterians
- Neil (10/5): - A place where most guests choose to extend their stay. Karma inspires a lovely sense of community with a beautiful ambiance.
- Sofia (4/5): Didn't make it - The stuff was answering quickly. We had an emergency, but we couldn't cancel our stay at the hotel, and had to pay anyway. And it was up to the hotel whether to return our money or not.

- Christopher (10/5): Karma Hostel is the best. - Just go there! Experience the friendliness, great food, and rustic charm. There is a space for yoga, great communal areas, and the beds are super comfortable. You will want to stay longer and the memories will stay with you on your journey. All fantastic.
- Michael (10/5): - All the staff are amazing, seriously top class. The hostel vibe is second to none. It's peaceful, joyous, social, fun, relaxing....all wound into one .everything you want in a hostel Nothingl
- Tamari (10/5): - So we have been staying here for only one day, but it was an amazing experience from the minute we stepped into the hostel. Emanuela the host/owner met us at the reception being super friendly and welcoming. She showed us around the hostels property and then accompanied to the room. The other staff and volunteers were amazing in prepay breakfast and dinner. It was so delicious and had so many different options, i genuinely dont remember last time i had such tasty home-cooked meal. The cleanliness in the room and in shared bathroom and toilets was impressive! So tidy and so fresh. Definitely recommend 🩷
- Harm (10/5): -
- Charlotte (8/5): -
- Jessica (10/5): Great people, vibe & loveliness. - Great people, vibe & loveliness.
- Michał (9/5): - The place is great overall! Lovely, very friendly atmosphere, very cosy area to chill. I came with my mom and she was also completely charmed by that hostel. Definitely recommend and would come back in the future. The only con was lack of the warm water in our room.
- Polina (10/5): -
- Braaksma (7/5): Prima - Super mooi ingerichte plek met veel fijne zitplekjes in de tuin. Eten was erg lekker! Leuke avond gehad met interessante gesprekken.
Zou het aan aanraden aan vrienden als ze een auto hebben. De gedeelde badkamer was een verdieping lager en helemaal aan de andere kant van het huis. Ook geen wasbakje in de kamer.
De plek heeft veel vrijwilligers, allemaal super aardige mensen maar omdat het zo veel mensen waren is het ook wat overheersend en hadden we het gevoel alsof we in de weg liepen.
De locatie is ver weg van echte natuur. Lopend vanuit het hostel was er niet veel te bereiken. In een dorpje boven de camping zal je dit meer hebben. Het is een omgeving waar het fijn is om een auto te hebben!
- Mier Hasko (10/5): -
- Kumelashvili (10/5): - I had such a great time at Karma Hostel,The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made me feel at home right away. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and I met so many nice people during my stay. If you love animals, this place is truly a little paradis.it’s perfect for animal lovers! I really enjoyed every moment here and I’ll definitely come back again soon.

- Samed (10/5): -
- Arianna (9/5): - The building is an old traditional western Georgia house, with a beautiful shared kitchen and outdoor space and garden Only two toilets and two showers to be shared

- Mariam (10/5): -
- Mariam (10/5): - Amazing vibe 💕 best place where you can make a lot of international friends and explore Samegrelo’s beautiful nature
- Ergazi (3/5): poor price / performance ratio - Location is good but you need car to go to Matvili Canyon. Garden, trees and nature is good. It has small common kitchen that you can cook and store your food. Ask for 2 Gel entrance canyon swimming area. very nice area. We stayed in the special private deluxe room. Very poor value for money. The shared bathrooms are far from the room. In the same area. Martvili, places with Private bathrooms are 30% to 50% cheaper. Worth doing your research. Basically just a simple hostel with no extras. Food taste avarage. 6/10. WC and bathroom are in common area (very close kitchen) which is not good architectural design, hygenic. They have anemestat fans in WC but small and not enough for smell. Be ready for cold water in showers.
- Volha (10/5): -
- Tornike (10/5): - Great place, great staff, great vibe
- Kristy (10/5): - Such nice vibes, everyone was friendly and acted like a community. Food was amazing. Decent bikes for rent. Rustic place but the vibes make up for it. Would recommend a car to get here and around to the canyons.
- Tereza (10/5): - The Karma Hostel is a perfect place to stay when you're looking for a cozy, homely atmosphere and a community experience. It offers very cozy rooms and an amazing, very well equipped community space. You can join other guests on the terrace or in the garden if you like or you can easily find a quiet corner for yourself and enjoy some time of peace and quiet. Absolutely recommend! The smaller kitchen for guests could be a bit better equipped (a lighter/matches for the stove, more pieces of crockery) - but of course all can be borrowed from the main kitchen :)
- Attila (9/5): -
- Gavriel (10/5): - המקום מושלם. מזכיר קיבוץ וקומונה. האוכל הצמחוני טעים מאוד וכל יום היה מגוון. מושלם לילדים וגם לאלה שרוצים להתנתק מהרעש.
- Volha (10/5): Ооочень кайфово мы провели там время, пооолный чил, спокойствие и уют в красивом месте которое сделано с душой - Очень милое классное комьюнити, реально ощущение что тебя пригласили какиенхиппи друзья к себе в гости потусить на природе) В некоторых номерах кое-где не работали розетки, это пожалуй единственный микроминус, в остальном площадка огонь!!

- julia (7/5): -
- Sonja (10/5): Everything is handmade and homemade with love and lots of creativity - One of the most interesting and memorable guesthouses/hotels in Georgia. Amazing, creative food; wonderful room (we had the biggest one in its own little house, with kitchen and toilet/shower); friendly people and interesting conversations. We had a great time and will definitely return!
- Gill (10/5): Fancy a break away from the city and be surrounded by Nature, whilst enjoying healthy, delicious food? Come here! - Friendly atmosphere. Fantastic food. They catered for me being vegan rather than vegetarian… greatly appreciated.
Several areas to hang out or socialise.
Very clean. Spacious dorm.
Great team.
Random joining in of dance and Pilates.
- Paulina (10/5): - Karma is definitely the place to be 🥰
- Giulia (10/5): An oasis of good vibes - The space, location, food, and people are excellent. An oasis of good vibes. Woody and Emma are amazing hosts, supported by a fantastic crew. Recommended to anyone who wants to discover this part of Georgia while having a place to chill, share a glass of wine and delicious food at night with friends.
- lance (7/5): -
- Sara (10/5): Een mooie, gezellige oasis gerund door enorm vriendelijke mensen. -
- Souhail (9/5): -
- Tristan (10/5): - Great hostel in a good location. Friendly management, volunteers, lots of suggestions, modern bathroom and facilities, well made food (extra cost), great beds and good WiFi. I imagine it could be bumping in the summer :)
- Stan (9/5): Great friendly homestay for travelers with good food. - Great homely vibe with everyone very friendly. Nice to meet up and chat with other travelers from around the world. Awesome vegetarian dinner- in fact all meals are great prepared by registered chef Sharma. The room we had with a double bed ( the karma sutra suite) was large and very comfortable. Nothing much.

- Lior (10/5): חוויה מדהימה. מחכים לחזור לשם😇 - הבקתה שלנו הייתה מהממת
ארוחת ערב צמחונית מצויינת שאכלנו כל המתארחים יחד
מקום מדהים לעצור בו להירגע ולהכיר אנשים חדשים אהבנו הכל
- Henrik (10/5): Fantastisk mat, fantastisk stemning, hyggelig vert, mye stemning og mye hage - Maten er Spektakulært god. Både middag og frokost. Stemningen er veldig hyggelig og jovial, og stedet er vakkert. Og laidback. Vertene er fra Belgia og Polen - og full av gode råd Det var overhodet ingenting jeg ikke likte

- Ku (10/5): - The atmosphere and food is amazing! Shared bathroom
- Llegov (6/5): - Maison agréable et bien aménagée, repas et petits déjeuners végétariens exceptionnels. Dortoir de 20 (!) personnes inconfortable. Entrées / sorties incessantes et sol bruyant. Très difficile de dormir.
- Job (10/5): Heerlijke hostel. - Leuke sfeer, relaxed. Heerlijke maaltijd en ontbijt. Nieuwe huisje met eigen badkamer was prima.
- Erica (10/5): - Perfect stay for good vibes, nature, and delicious food. I came to recover from getting sick and left in great health and this was the perfect place to be. Really nice staff, volunteers, and guests. Vegetarian food is delicious. I am missing the food already. And they sell kombucha. Nice location and not far from pretty nature spots.
- dorit (10/5): מקום מקסים - החדר המשפחתי היה מאד יפה המקום אולי קצת פחות מתאים למשפחה עם ילדים
- Caroline (9/5): Amazing place! Really recommend, Great hosts! - Very nice atmosphere and incredible people! A lot of cozy places to sit. Surrounded by nature. The food was really really good, both diner and breakfast, different everyday. Option for individual rooms with very beautiful interior. Very social. 😁 There were a lot of spiderwebs and spiders in our room. We liked the social aspect but might not be for everyone.
- Arnau (10/5): - The place is amazing, everything is as you see it in the pictures, the vibe is great, you can meet people super easily and the owners are very helpful.
- MIKHAIL (9/5): -
- VASILISA (7/5): Good to stay if you are free with money preferably with your own car. - The hostel by itself is nice and clean. The dog Madonna, missis Cat and a kitten are my besties) second floor balconies are the best places. Dorm is fine. The hostel is far from everything located in the ugly village. 25 min walking without shadow to the shallow river. The canyon is good but also far so you need to pay for taxi or hitch a ride. Food is great but too expensive a specially for the location. Staff and owners never smiled to me.
- Dmitriy (10/5): You have to try it - The house in the middle of nowhere:) Village atmosphere. Interesting people. Tasty cuisine Location is remote from Martvili and canyon. Without car it could be not comfortable
- jartusek (10/5): - Wyśmienite i smaczne posiłki - Liga Mistrzów. Dziękujemy bardzo.
- Linus (10/5): Awesome atmosphere with very nice people - Super nice atmosphere and very interesting people
- Pier Giorgio (10/5): - L'atmosfera famigliare ed inclusiva; cena e colazione semplicemente eccezionali Nulla
- Eristavi (8/5): -
- Lika (10/5): - Staying at Karma was a great experience. It's the perfect place for anyone eager to connect with fellow travelers from every corner of the world. The atmosphere is vibrant, Staff is very welcoming.
I stayed in the dorms, and despite being fully booked, the environment was peaceful. Everyone was considerate, making sure the nights were quiet, and the space was always clean.
Highly recommended.
Love,
Lika
- naama (6/5): - המקום מקסים, מושקע ומיוחד. מארחים חמודים ומסבירי פנים. עיצוב יפה ומרחב שהיה נעים. אוכל נהדר טעים ומיוחד. בחדר בו שהינו אין מזגן והיה חם מאוד. רוב הזמן לא יכולנו להיות בחדר כי היה חם מידי, אפילו עזבנו מוקדם ממה שתכננו כי החום היה בלתי נסבל עבורנו.
הרגשנו שלא קיבלנו תמורה הולמת למחיר הגבוה ששילמנו.
- Valentina (8/5): - molto curato nei dettagli
Bellissimo giardino e posizione
- Maria Laura (10/5): We will have to come back - This is place is amazing! The rooms are big and confortable. They have homemade breakfast and dinner and the food is just perfect! It is a feast, it worth it. But if it is too pricy for your budget, you can use the smll communal kitchen.
Emma and all the staff were very welcoming and kind. You can get along, have some beers and wine with everyone, or just lay on an hammok on your own and chill. Enjoy the dog and cats, the breeze and the peace.
The location is a bit far from the city center, but you can always hitch hike or get an minivan. If you have a car, then it is perfect.
- Sonja (8/5): Entspannung pur - Familiäres Backpacker Hostel unter belgischer Leitung. Sehr entspannte Atmosphäre, schöner Garten, ein guter Ort zum Entspannen und Runterkommen.
- Johanna (10/5): True oasis in beautiful scenery - This hostel is a true oasis, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home from the moment they arrive. The space is designed to make you feel comfortable and authentic, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Within seconds of stepping in, you’re embraced by a friendly, familial environment where you can truly be yourself and connect with others. It's a place where relaxation and genuine connection are effortlessly woven together, creating a memorable and uplifting experience. In addition to this, the vegetarian feast they’re offering on a daily basis is absolutely magnificent and tasty. I have been there several times by now and sure thing I’ll be back rather sooner than later.
- Elizaveta (10/5): We were very happy to meet so many great people from different countries. And the food was also very good! We’ll be glad - Very cozy calm and comfortable place Nothing
- kristina (7/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): -
- Hornstra (10/5): - Great hostel. One of the best I’ve been in my life. The dinner is astonishing. And the coffee at breakfast is super.
- Seltmann (10/5): - It's like a big family, everyone is super nice.
- Thomas (10/5): - super Aufenthalt, nette Leute, hervorragendes Essen nichts
- Aisling (5/5): - Great set up, tasty food, plenty of places to chill and exercise. One of the volunteers was nice to me The volunteers were quite clicky and didn't acknowledge me when I was waiting to book in, which made me feel like an outsider. They also outnumbered the guests and all sat together for dinner and generally didn't feel welcome.
- Marie-Sophie (10/5): Un endroit où il faut aller - L’endroit est un petit paradis qui favorise les échanges entre les résidents
Il émane un charme incroyable de cette maison, de son jardin et de tous les espaces communs.
L’équipe est sympathique et attentive à faire de cet endroit un lieux de convivialité.
