Guest House Khalde - Century House of Larisa

We were hiking at the end of September. We didn’t have a booking but managed to get a room here. The room didn't have an outside window, but overall was okay. We insisted on having a heater, which kept us warm during the night, while other guests got cold. The guest house has a nice atmosphere, and there is heating in one of the bathrooms, so you can enjoy a warm shower. Despite a previous review, we didn’t encounter any bedbugs. For dinner, we had vegetable soup with rice, khachapuri, rice with vegetables, and really nice tea. The host offered us more soup. For breakfast, we were served one boiled egg, pasta, rice, bread with jam, and a very small amount of butter, but you can ask for more. Overall, this place is okay for spending the night, but it doesn’t feel very warm or welcoming, and it’s a bit pricier compared to the other guest houses we stayed at

The bed was full of bed bugs. We had a terrible night , they attacked us and now we’re itching all over… On top of that, the owners didn’t really make much of an effort to help us. It was also the most expensive place on the hike, which made it feel like a bit of a rip off, especially since our room didn’t even have a window.

We stayed here for one night during a 3day hike. The host and her family were just lovely. The house itself is quite basic, as you would expect in the region. We paid 85GEL per person for accommodation, dinner and breakfast, all was really tasty and the portions were quite big. After dinner Larisas brother invited everyone to wine, chacha and 'musika' - a unique cultural experience!
