Family Hotel ucha

We stayed there yesterday and had bed bugs both of us 😪 we barely slept. Second, it seems like they dont like humans. No one said a lot or welcomed us, at dining time the door is opened and food waits there- they come back only after all leaves. I came twice to the house (full of the family members), twice I was told to stay out and sent a little girl who talk to you in a very business cold way. Nothibg of Georgian hospitality, we all felt like wallets. Its a shame people became this way when they host tourists.

In Iprali, there are two guesthouses, but unfortunately, the reviews here on Google seem to mix both (you can also see this from the pictures). We stayed at Guesthouse Ucha, a large guesthouse with many rooms but only two shared bathrooms, which would likely result in long waiting times during high season. It was the worst guesthouse we stayed at during our time in Georgia. The prices were way too high – 90 Lari per person for dinner and breakfast. While other guesthouses provided lunch for free upon request, here it would have cost an extra 10 Lari. The mattresses were completely worn out, and our room didn’t have a window. The dinner gave my friend an upset stomach, which meant she had to cut the final day of our trek to Ushguli short and take a taxi. The food itself was average at best, and instead of the usual delicious homemade bread, they only served store-bought white bread. Overall, this guesthouse was a major disappointment.

Owner/staff was nice and helpful, but tried to scam us by charging 90 lari per person. Real price is 80 incl. breakfast and dinner. Room was okay, and the one (!) shared bathroom was nice. Good for the low season with few guests, but must be a nightmare when the hotel is fully booked. Dinner was a huge disappoinment, while breakfast was okay. Big plus for laundry free of charge. Also, the garden is a very nice hangout.
