“Wonderful guesthouse on the Mestia to Ushguli route”
+Incredibly kind and friendly hosts who made us feel at home. Hot showers, clean and comfortable rooms. Great dinner and breakfast too. One of the highlights of our Mestia to Ushguli hike. Great views as well.
−Nothing to dislike but do be mindful it is a few kms from Iprali along the main road. We were able to be picked up which was very much appreciated after a long days hike. Also be aware the guesthouse is up a steep driveway, but it’s worth it.

+This place was amazing. Incredibly kind family, cute dog and cat. They picked us up from the town and dropped us back off for free. The Dinner was delicious. And they provided a ride from the end of the hike to Mestia for a great price. Very appreciative of there hospitality.

“beautiful guesthouse, amazing hosts”
+This was the most amazing guest house I have stayed at on my trek. Elo and her husband Simona are the kindest people I have ever met. They picked us up in Iprali after our long day of walking and took us to their house nearby. They have such a beautiful family and they treated us as if we were family too. I was tempted to stay another day just to spend more time there. We ended up spending the day with Simona and he showed us around Ushguli. He was so amazing and I’m so glad to have met him and Elo. If I am back in this region I will definitely be staying again. We didn’t have time for breakfast but they still shared coffee, homemade yogurt, and honey with us. We also got a ride back from Ushguli to Mestia for a decent price. I can’t describe how grateful I am to this family for their kindness and warmth. THANK YOU 10/10

+By the time I reached Iprari, it was nearly 8 p.m. I had set off from Zhabeshi at 8 a.m., having hiked 30 +kilometres. I was utterly worn out , cold, hungry and exhausted , and my phone had no signal. When I finally got through to the landlady at Elo's Guesthouse, she immediately sent her husband to pick me up by car. The mountain road was treacherous, yet he drove steadily and safely to bring me to the guesthouse. As soon as I stepped inside, the landlady served me a hot meal, easing the fatigue built up over the whole day. She then showed me to my room and turned on the heater to warm the space. Learning I had blisters on my feet, she brought iodine to treat them, making for a cosy night. The next morning, I enjoyed a hearty breakfast, after which they drove me back to the hiking trailhead. This was a solo trip, yet I received such incredible warmth. I wrote the same account on social media back home to praise the service at Elo's Guesthouse.

+Simple place, but fantastic family running it! We got a lovely dinner prepared in the evening and they arranged a driver for us both to/from the trail + from Ushguli to Mestia. Shoutout to Simon (driver) - he was great :) The family did everything to make us comfortable

+The best place we’ve stayed at! The owner was so lovely; her food was amazing, and she took care of everything we needed. Her son even picked us up in their car and drove us to the guesthouse, as it is a bit of a distance from Iprari. The next day, her husband drove us back to the trail to continue our hike. All the rides were free. Dinner cost 40 Lari, and breakfast was 35 Lari.

“Felt like home right away!”
+Genuinely one of the best guesthouse experiences on the trail! Elo & the family made us feel right at home, and went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. It was so good to join the family in the evening, and spend time with fellow hikers during the communal meals in her home. She also helped us out with additional washing and offers for transport, while also being flexible with a slight last minute change in booking. Hope to find myself at Elo's again in the future!

+Warm room, hot showers, delicious food.
−The location was actually quite out of the way, but the owners were super nice and picked us up and drove us to the beginning of the next hike according to our wishes :)
