Amazing Guesthouse in Pankisi!

Nazy’s Guesthouse is exceptional! The room I stayed in was lovely, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Nazy was wonderfully hospitable-she helped me arrange transport, a guide and meals. I highly recommend the food here-easily the best food I had in Georgia!

To me this place is almost home

I’ve stayed here a number of times and it is always a pleasure! The guesthouse is cozy, the host is the loveliest person you ll ever meet and the food is really to die for. Recently I started using their conference room for work events and it is so comfortable! Previously we’d usually have to ask people from Pankisi to travel to different cities when organising an event but now there is a perfect space to hold meetings, trainings or other official gatherings. The space has plenty of day light, it is well equipped and the view of the picturesque mountains doesn’t hurt either. All in all I ll be there again soon and honestly I can’t wait.

Incredible story of Nazy and her fight to change the perception of the Chechen community. The house is comfortable and the food superb. I enjoyed my time here.

A very special guesthouse

You immediately feel welcome here! Nazy is always there for her guests and speaks great English. The breakfast and the dinner are varied, very tasty and more than plentiful. The shared bathrooms and toilets are extremely clean. We were hiking and riding in the area. The Pankisi valley exudes a special atmosphere due to its inhabitants (and their history). We felt very comfortable there. The days end wonderfully with dinner together with the other travelers.

Exceptional

Michelin Guide rates places for years and three-star restaurants are “places with exceptional cooking worth a special trip for”. Using their methodology I would say that in terms of hospitality and customer service Nazy Guesthouse is 3 star experience which means this place is worth special trip to Georgia.

 Homely, interesting, beautiful and delicious!

Spotlessly clean yet warm and inviting. We were welcomed into Nazys guesthouse by Nazy who was excited and proud to share her house, community and beautiful natural surrounds with us. Nazy went out of her way to accommodate our wishes – helping us understand the region, book horse riding, try local dishes, preparing us a packed lunch for hiking and organising a private taxi back to Tbilisi. The beds were the most comfortable in Georgia, every dish was amazing and the garden of the guesthouse was lush, green and relaxing, with bubblegum flavored grapes hanging off the vines. We felt like we got a great taste of this interesting and beautiful region because we chose to stay with Nazy.

Top-notch guest house experience in a culturally and environmentally unique location in Georgia.

The location is great; it is right in the middle of the Pankisi Valley. The fence gives just the right amount of privacy without cutting you off from the outside. The house and yard are beautiful and serve as a relaxing place to sit relax or read at any time of the day. The bathrooms and rooms are clean and tidy and the bedding is very comfortable. All the hosts are friendly and incredibly helpful in helping you get settled and plan excursions. The food is delicious, home-cooked, and served in large portions which make paying for meals at 10-15 lari an amazing deal. The tours guides the hosts partner with are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

I would have liked a bed side lamp for reading in the evening. I also would have found it helpful if the full-day and half-day tour listings included hour durations so that I could have better planned my time there. I was only able to spend time sightseeing on Saturday and left feeling I could have seen more of the valley if I had been able to coordinate my half-day tour option a little better.

Peaceful Retreat

If you wish to step away from stress, this is an excellent place. Even before arriving, the driver and people of the village in my marshrutka were so pleasant and welcoming.

Nazy and family are honest and
caring- it almost felt like staying with friends. The home was so peaceful, so restful, a proper relaxation in the mountains.

My request for vegetarian food was no problem at all- the food was so fresh and healthy, delicious.

My room (double) was elegant and beautiful, everything spotlessly clean. The showers always had hot water, also spotlessly clean.

Nazy arranged a horse-riding trek which was so enjoyable, spectacular scenery. It was so convenient to have it all arranged, with no hassle.

Nazy was available throughout my stay and had plenty of time to answer any questions, she is extremely reliable, kind and dedicated to her guests.

I want to go back, and for longer next time.

Great choice for a countryside get-away!

The guesthouse is perfect for a countryside get-away – the house has such a homey feel, every corner invites to take a time-out and relax. And their food – one of the best I’ve had in Georgia. And of course the heart of the guesthouse is Nazi with her family!

Nazy’s Guest House is a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. She organizes day trips by foot and by horse in the mountains there and you can even go on a 5 or 10 day trek. The dinner and breakfast were delicious, the grounds, room and bathrooms were immaculately clean. This was a great place to relax outside of city noise.

Exceptional

Without a doubt, my stay at Nazy’s was the highlight of my trip to Georgia. The guesthouse itself is top-notch – quiet, clean, with restaurant quality food – it makes you feel like home. But more importantly, it’s a unique cultural experience – you get to learn about Chechen / Pankisi culture, history and cuisine. Last but not least, you get to meet Nazy, who is a true inspiration in terms of what’s done for the local community.

This guest house is extremely beautiful, with a peaceful garden, under the grapes and beautiful and clean rooms. The food Nazy prepared was the best I ate in my whole two weeks in Georgia!! Pankissi valley is definitely worth a visit, people are extremely friendly, the mare is stunning, there are many things to do including horse riding and mountain biking. Nazy is warm and very helpful!

Nazy is very kind, helpful and professional, speaking perfect English. I had a great relaxed stay, pity it was only for one night.The house is very neat and with lot of details. Comfortable bed. Though the bathrooms are shared you feel it like a private one as it is so neat.Homemade food was delicious and various. The valley offers different activities to do and gives you the chance to know about the Chechenian people which are Sufi religion. I could did some mountain biking and on Friday morning I could attend to a Sufi ceremony at Duisi mosque.

A little oasis. Nazy and her family are excellent hosts. Their beautiful garden provides the fruits and vegetables which then land on your plate if you eat one of their homemade meals. The area is still kept under the radar and therefore calm. In the distance you can spot the mountains of Tusheti and if you arrive at the right time of the year, tours to that area can be organized for you. Otherwise, learning about the situation and culture of the Kist people is a very enriching experience. Nazy has been a trailblazer for grassroots tourism in Pankisi and is an inspiring woman with a lot of visions for the place and community she calls her home.

Beautiful guesthouse and garden, best host ever, amazing vegetarian (on request) dinner, great breakfast, spotless clean. Host was not only incredibly nice and welcoming but also suggested hiking trips and massively helped us out when we had problems with our car. Pankisi valley is a beauty with great nature and nice small villages. Also people in the valley are all very friendly.

Literally everything was perfect

Paradise Guest House

What can I say… When we arrived in Nazy’s guesthouse it felt like we were in heaven. Not only the place was super comfortable (the double room is pure awesomeness !), but Nazy was all the time available to help us organize guided tours of Pankisi valley, be it by horse or by foot, or to talk about Kist culture.

In the end we stayed for three days but we could have stayed forever. The tours were great, the guides and inhabitants of the valley were really nice and happy to share their culture and we have even been welcomed to the men ziqr (a sufi prayer/ritual that happens twice per week, once for men, once for women) then to the mosque for the final prayer.

After almost 5 weeks in Georgia, this guesthouse has been our favorite.

I could speak for a while about our stay but let’s make it short : GO THERE! ;

Julien Fumard (TripAdvisor)

A magical place in the Pankisi Valley. Nature speaks of a magic far from the noisy world, but the experience I wanted to have was that of people. So with the help of my young guide I immersed myself and found beautiful people that I take with me.

I also take the Kist kitchen with me, since I think I put on a few kilos … but how could I say no to those delicacies?

Barcal!

Magnifique Guest House, tout y est de très grande qualité: les repas comme le confort des chambres. Nazy et sa famille sont les plus accueillants et professionnels qui soient, les lieux d’une propreté rare sont hyper agréables à vivre. Ils nous ont organisé un trek à cheval de 2 jours, absolument inoubliable. Notre meilleure adresse en Géorgie.

Lovely place for every traveler!

I and my friend stayed Nazy’s guest house for two days. Lovely and peaceful place for every traveler. Tasty foods, beautiful garden, the comfortable room and the clean bath room. Nazy, her family and the staff from England are very kind and full of consideration of others. We were happy to stay their guest house.

The food was very good, breakfast and dinner stood out from the culinary monotony of other guest houses. Nazy supported us very well in our endeavors. B. arranges a contact to a ranger, who then led us through the local nature park for a day. The discussions about the region’s culture, minorities and the environmental issues there were very exciting and gave a closer look at the situation there. The Pankisital is a very interesting, safe and pleasant holiday region.

Great place, great food, lovely people. Their garden is a paradise. Very clean and friendly. My only wish is that I could have breakfasts with meat and veggies and not so much on the sweet side…. But if you like pancakes with jam as most of the people do you will be delighted:) Dinners are amazing and i rarely say that as i’m quite picky when it comes to food. Nazy, thanks a lot for your kindness and hospitality! I forgot to mention – they serve organic milk and homemade butter and cheese. And even if i stopped eating milk products for health reasons some time ago – here i could not resist, so tasty was it all!

Wspaniała gospodyni, przepyszne, zdrowe i dopasowane do diety posiłki, najlepsze w całej Gruzji. Bardzo spokojna i przyjazna okolica. Idealna czystość. O dojazd warto spytać wcześniej, są taxówki z Tbilisi za 60 GEL, przy 2-4 osobach wychodzi już całkiem nieźle. Dobre ceny za przewodnika, czy jazdę konno. Nazy z wielką przyjemnością i pasją odpowiada na wszystkie pytania dotyczące zarówno okolicy, jak i czeczeńskiej kultury. Do tego posługuje się znakomitym angielskim. Brak wifi, z jednej strony minus, a z drugiej plus, bo można trochę odpocząć. A w razie prawdziwej potrzeby – Nazy udostępnia hostspot. Łóżka mogłyby być nieco wygodniejsze.

What a wonderful oasis you have created at the base of the mountains. It has been lovely spending several days here. We wandered up to the old watch tower and then over to the amphitheatre. It was lovely to look down on the valley and see all the agriculture.

This area seems so different from the rest of Georgia and I am so glad we were able to experience a little piece of it. All the best wishes for the future!

To come to Pankisi and your wonderful guest house was just the right decision. I stayed only for two nights but could have stayed much longer. Your Mom’s cooking was one of the best I have enjoyed during my travels. I slept perfect in the comfortable bed, you keep your guest house so tidy and clean. What a peaceful and charming place you have created! I strongly recommend going on a discovery tour with Ramzan – thank you for all your knowledge of the Kist people and culture. The Sufi singing on Friday touched me deep inside! So try to go on Friday.

Thank you so much for all your help and kindness. You and your family are just lovely! I wish you and Kist people all the best. You really deserve it.

Nazy & family created a wonderful place where you can relax and have not to worry. The whole place with the green garden makes you calm and lazy. The food was fantastic and very plentiful.

Nazy’s Guest House is a truly wonderful place to stay! Nazy is so kind and willing to help and did so much to help us arrange shared taxis coming and going.

Pobyt u Nazy był dla nas największą przyjemnością podczas pobytu w Gruzji za co ogromnie dziękujemy i jesteśmy zachwyceni każdą chwilą spędzoną tutaj. Jesteśmy wegetarianami i tu odnaleźliśmy nasz raj kulinarny – było pysznie i zdrowo! Ponadto rozmowy z Nazy są bardzo ciekawe i pouczające, szczególnie o ich kulturze i historii. Podczas pobytu Nazy zaaranżowała dla nas również przejażdżkę konno co było strzałek w dziesiątkę, a przewodnik był bardzo zabawny. Oprócz atmosfery Nazy jest bardzo pomocna w zorganizowaniu dojazdu do Jokolo i mówi świetnie po angielsku.

Take advantage of the tours!

This guesthouse justly deserves its national award as the best community-based tourism establishment in Georgia. It’s not just the comfortable rooms, the beautiful garden and Nazy’s excellent cooking–but seriously, try all the food, it’s delicious! The big advantage of staying with Nazy is her ability to help you go out and meet the community as well.

Through her, I was able to hire a local teenager who spoke good English to take me on a day-long cultural tour of Jokolo and Duisi. Nika showed me the villages and their sights from a point of view that you can only get from someone who lives there and speaks Kist. We saw the local sites of worship, climbed up to a Soviet war memorial on the mountainside, and visited Zizi the craftswoman, who makes souvenirs from handmade felt.

The next day, I went horseback riding up into the Pankisi Gorge with Avto the horseman. He’s a charming fellow, and his mounts are well cared for, safe for tourists, and equipped with good tack. (Check out the design of the traditional Caucasian saddles!) The views from the high trails were magnificent. These were some of the best experiences I had in a wonderful vacation.

I would definitely recommend Nazy’s Guest House. We had a very good time there, food was so good, the place is very clean and comfortable, everything works well. Pankisi Valley is such a magic place with natural beauties and rich culture, just love so much the time I was there, and will definitely go back really soon.

Nazy’s Guest House offers a high quality, comfortable, clean, organised and impressively equipped guesthouse experience located in a central location in the beautiful Pankisi Valley.

Nazy herself is a very well informed, professional and passionate host with positive entrepreneurial ambitions for the community and larger area of Pankisi. Nazy speaks fluent English and is well connected which is very helpful for organising tours, guides, taxi’s and bus schedules, she is also a wealth of information on the history, culture and geo politics of the region and bordering nations.

The food was delicious and the facilities; eating area, garden, bathrooms and bedrooms are well decorated, tidy, fresh and comfortable. Nazy’s family and staff are also friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our short stay in Nazy’s and also our longer stay in other parts of the valley. We will surely return to Pankisi which is a beautiful and fascinating place with warm and welcoming people, several of whom we now count as friends.

Thank you Nazy and thank you Pankisi!

An oasis of peace and calmness

Entering Nazy’s guesthouse, immediately I felt an oasis of peace and calmness. Nazy is a very gentle and knowledgeable person, always willing to answer any questions you might have (I had many!) and explained a lot about her culture and history to me. The rooms are spacious and clean, and so are the bathrooms and toilets. Pankisi valley is very pretty, great for hikes and horse riding, all of which Nazy will help you with to organize. Not to forget their food! All organic and prepared with such love and care, delicious. The garden is lovely to relax in. A place not to be missed, when you visit Georgia.

Great Guest House Experience… Lovely guest house, perfect for relaxing, exploring pankisi valley and getting to know more of Georgia than standard tourist locations. Home cooked food was the best I had in Georgia. Nazy speaks perfect English and can help arrange anything you need. She helped me arrange marshrutka outside of their usual route when I needed it. Also took a walking tour with a young man who explained Kist people and valley history. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Pride of Pankisi…First-rate base from which to explore the Pankisi region. When you come back from hikes through the amazing scenery you will be stuffed with excellent food, and then stuffed again the next morning at breakfast. This is obviously a labour of love for Nazy, who takes pride in the guest house and helping guests. A gem in a valley of jewels.

One of the best homestays by far in Georgia for the attention to detail, cleanliness, great homegrown food and lovely garden. Pankisi is a lovely retreat with plenty of valleys and wooded tracks upstream to explore. We spent our days hiking up the hills following streams and always came back to splendid healthy meals waiting for us.

Pri Jay

The Most Gracious Home in Georgia… Nazy’s Guest House is actually the second floor of a family home in the Pankisi Valley village of Jokolo. An air of quiet refinement surrounds Nazy’s Guest House, and it truly is a guest house: if you visit you will find yourself not the renter of a room, but the guest of a gracious Kist family.

The Kists who live in the Pankisi Valley are ethnic Chechens, related to the Chechen people of Chechnya across the Caucasus Mountains. You will find the Kists of Jokolo to be warm, hospitable, generous and thoughtful, not to mention (if Nazy’s family is a representative sample) superb cooks.

Nazy, founder of the guest house, is happy to assist her guests in pursuing a variety of activities in the Pankisi Valley, or in the surrounding mountains. You can stay at the guest house. You can take a trip on horseback into the mountains. Village boys will guide you on a walking tour of the valley. Young village men will guide you in the mountains.

The area is beautiful. Nazy and her family are gracious and sophisticated hosts. You will want to respect their culture by not bringing alcohol into their family home and wearing the provided slippers when indoors.

We’ve stayed at a variety of smaller guest homes through AirBnB and Booking.com over the years, and never experienced anything quite as gracious or welcoming as Nazy’s home.

Whether you’re young and wanting to taste trekking in the Caucasus Mountains (Nazy arranges week-long horseback trips into the mountains for guests–we went on a one-day trip, nine hours on horseback, and it was unforgettable.) or simply wanting to relax in a Georgian home in an beautiful mountain valley, Nazy’s is a unique and wonderful experience.

One last note…. Though it’s optional, if you like good food you will want to eat every breakfast and dinner you can at Nazy’s rather than seeking to eat elsewhere. The Kist and Georgian cooking of Nazy’s family was the best we experienced in a month of traveling through Georgia and Turkey.

Thanks a lot, dear Nazy to be a wonderful host for us. We really felt at home in your beautiful and cosy guest house. What a charming place! We also enjoyed the guided walk around Jokolo and Duisi village with the Young couple Nona and Ali. Dear Nazy, your personal commitment for supporting development of Pankisi, offering chances for young people, preserving nature is most commendable – thank you!

Last but not last we enjoyed the grape vine leaf tasting session with you. All the best.

It was a most pleasant and memorable stay in Pankisi Valley with its friendly and hospitable inhabitants. And Nazy’s Guest House is the perfect base for exploring the great surrounding nature. I was particularly impressed by the engagement of the hosts not only to welcome their guests and accommodate their wishes, but to support the community around them. Hopefully, more and more travellers will find their way to Pankisi’s treasure. This guesthouse makes for a most enjoyable stay with its well-cared-for premises and the tasty, varied and plenty food. Thank you very much for everything. I will be back.

Thank you for having received me so warmly with my horse Davai, thank you for your hospitality, for the delicious food and nice talk we had. I was glad to discover this Pankisi little gem. I hope you might keep going like that for a long time, fighting against discrimination, fighting for this valley and its people and proving that it is a nice place.

Thank you for the great time in Jokolo. It was nice to be your guest and spend time with you and your family. One bad thing – the food was so delicious that we’re leaving the Pankisi much fatter than we have come. J We hope to visit you again soon.

Thank you for taking us in when we knocked at your door in the middle of the night!

Thank you also for your kindness, hospitality and the best pancakes we’ve had in our lives! (But also we’ll never forget the chicken stew and strawberry jam and the cheese and lentil soup…). Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to explore the mountains and swim in the river, but we hope to be back to keep discovering the nature of beautiful Pankisi.

We have been travelling for the past 161 days and we found a perfect place to rest! 13 hours of sleep sounds insane-but I assume that’s what we needed! Thanks for the hospitality, amazing food and tips about Pankisi! Thanks for giving us the contact to Raisa – so we could enjoy the experience of Zikr. Thanks for accepting us in November when no-one else could! We will recommend this place to everyone who travels to Georgia.

After arriving exhausted you and your family have shown nothing but amazing hospitality! I thoroughly enjoyed spending time, learning about the area, exchanging recipes and hearing about Chechen life. The food was absolutely amazing and I am very happy I can take some recipes back with me to Europe and Australia. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of enjoying life and more importantly, family. Please keep in touch!

I spent 2 nights here. Nazy, her family and one staff from England are very kind, open and good listener. They always made me feel at home. We enjoyed sharing a lot of things about us. Nazy’s hand made breakfast and dinner are very very delicious and not only made my empty stomach full, but also brought lots of happiness into my heart. Actually, I wish I could have stayed here for longer. Very much appreciated Nazy, her family, Gurjeet. Thanks so much for all your warm hospitality. Someday again, I’m pretty sure!

We were happy to get out of the noisy city and come visit Nazy at this wonderful little guesthouse. The highlights of the trip were the watch tower, waterfall, Nazy’s food, and of course the famous large stone! If you set to only experience one thing here , do not miss the large stone, you will know it when you see it.

Taking a weekend off and leaving noisy Tbilisi behind for two days, we immediately fell in love with your guest house, the astonishing mountains, valleys of Pankisi and the gentle and kind people living here. Food tastes great, everything was very clean and cosy- surely we’ll come back one day! All the best,

Thank you for such a relaxing and peaceful few days, even if it did get at a bit short due to us completely loosing track of time we spent in Tusheti and was lovely just to have a comfy bed and proper bathroom. The food was delicious and hospitality was great as well.

I come to Pankisi Gorge with some kind of curiosity, then found this lovely, beautiful guesthouse. And for the village and Valley it’s a calm and peaceful place, with real traditional Kist family life style. Thanks Nazy and family.

We travelled to Jokolo and the Pankisi Valley to enjoy the beautiful nature and get to know the Kist community. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere in the garden and in the mountains. Moreover we would like to thank you for the hospitality and the delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will definitely recommend your place!! Thank you and see you!!

Thank you very much for an amazing experience! It’s truly unforgettable! Cooking demonstrations was very hands on and very educational. I loved it! Breakfast with “everything made in house” was delicious. I personally was impressed with impeccable cleanliness of this beautiful house. I travelled extensively throughout the world but this day will last in my years as bright cultural experience that I won’t forget. Thank you for opening your home and hearts to us. We truly appreciate it.

The fact that I came here for one day and stayed for three speaks for itself! What an incredible little gem nestled in the greenery of the Caucasus. Between the hospitality and Nazy’s delightful house looking thus has been a superb experience! Thank you for all the help you’ve given me during the course of my stay I’ve had a ball! I will never forget this place!

I felt myself home. I supposed to stay only for one night but spent here 3 days. Just did not want to go. Thank you so much for this experience! Special thanks to Nazy’s Mom who is an excellent cook. The best food (homemade, organic) I have ever tasted in Georgia so far.  We also had interesting conversations with Nazy about the community, lifestyle and of course food culture. Coming back on harvest period to learn more.  My very best wishes to the whole family.

Thank you very much to Nazy and Family for an exceptional stay in Pankisi. I enjoyed every moment here.  It is a beautiful, peaceful place that every visitor to Georgia should make a point of seeing. Nazy is one of the best hostess in all of Georgia (big competition!) –  she is very helpful in arranging tours and giving advice, making sure that everyone is comfortable and most important – cooking excellent food. Hopefully I will be able to return to Jokolo very soon!

Bennett Clifford

Very nice home and good people. Beautiful nature. It is wonderful place! Thank you.

Olga and Dmitry, Russia, June 2015

What can I say such an amazing place! The setting beautiful, the food good, organic, and plentiful, the local people very nice, and the weather amazing (thunderstorms at night come under amazing for me!) . As a solo traveller I was made very welcome – Nazy has been more than helpful – organising a trek with guide and horse for me up the mountain camping on a high ridge above the treeline looking out across the Caucasus. I would recommend this place to anyone…

William from England-South Coast but of course in London, June 2015

 

The house and garden are very beautiful, a peaceful place to relax and contemplate. The food was amazing and so fresh – a real treat! Thank you again Nazy for all your helpful advice, hospitality and if we come back to this region we will definitely stay with you again.

We had a great time at Nazy’s. We stayed this beautiful guesthouse as a base for exploring Tusheti.

We were extremely grateful for Nazy’s advice and phoning around drivers and sending us to Sargiri guesthouse in Upper Omalo. Thank you for giving us such a great time in this part of the world.

We had a wonderful stay here at Nazy’s! We felt very at home and appreciated the cooking which was delicious and the hospitality in general. Our hike up the mountain was an excellent experience and the rest of the time spend at the guesthouse was nice and relaxed. Thank you for taking care of us, we hope to be back some day.

Abi and Phil

We came here without knowing anything about the area, but it has been an absolute pleasure. Nazy and the family here have been so nice to us and we have had a really good time with other guests. The biggest experience has been a hike in the Batsara Natural Reserve – fantastic nature and really good guides. Thank you so much our stay, in spite of the sickness it’s been absolutely amazing. We are coming back!

Johan and Tommy

This place has been amazing. The village greeted us with such warmth and hospitality. The surrounding area is stunning. Nazy was the best host. I wish we could have stayed here longer.

It’s a pleasure to write the first guest entry for 2015 because I have had such a nice time here. Pankisi is a very special place and different from other parts of Georgia. The scenery, culture, people and Kist food make it so. The guesthouse you and your family have created is simply wonderful- Do not change anything! The food is delicious and I love the way you have done the bedrooms- seem to have balanced rustic and elegance. Well done and good luck.

Helen, London, UK, January 2015

 

Dear Nazy,

Thank you so much for your hospitality! This is a delightful and very interesting corner of Georgia and I wish I could come in summer to enjoy it more – hiking to Tusheti would be wonderful.

I apologise for the Bradt guide saying for so long that Pankisi was closed to tourists, and will put that right as soon as possible!

All the best,

 

Dear Nazy and Family,

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality! And I am so sorry to have bothered you a lot! Actually, you know, I am really shy and always worry about trivial things, but I could feel really relaxed in this guesthouse. I appreciate all of you watched over me fondly. You are my family, the most precious family in Georgia.

Naomi Yamada (Kyoto, Japan), November 2014

 

Many thanks for this guesthouse and the opportunity to experience Kist culture. Pankisi is a very beautiful and special place. Like many others, hope to return one day. Much love,

Amy (Canada), November 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family,

Thank you for hospitality. Thank you for silence. The time in Pankisi goes so slowly. We feel very relaxed! The trip to Tbatana was an experience. We did not found the lake, but we experienced wonderful time around mountains, clouds and fog. Thank you for your beautiful pictures. We dream to back again.

Iwona and Mariusz (Poland), September 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family,

Thank you for making us feel at home. We had two nights and felt very relaxed. The backdrop is beautiful and even a casual walk from the guesthouse here is unforgettable. Aside from the landscape and beauty of the Pankisi valley we enjoyed amazing, home grown food for breakfast and dinner. I just wish we had more time to really switch off.

I loved the green beans! The guide was excellent too and a lot of fun.

Sarah and Michael (Glasgow, Scotland) September 2014

 

Thank you for your warm welcome, for hospitality and for making our two days nice.

Thank you for your warm and Caucasian hospitality and for interesting evening that we had in your family. Good luck in developing tourism.

Giorgi Omsarashvili (Georgia), September 2014

 

Thank you!

For having the most comfortable bed in Georgia (Luckily we did not pitch our tent in the garden…)

For supplying delicious meals (at special and ‘less’ special occasion)

For supplying nice hot shower (even during blackout)

For let us experience fresh dates (which we have tasted before)

For applying so much fresh food from the garden (which is like the garden of Eden, by the way)

For giving clear instructions for your trip to lake (even though we messed up…)

For your advice and concern while we were in dark (but beautiful) woods filled with dangerous animals (even though they maybe were not bears…)

For the great experience (your place is truly a hidden gem)

Good luck in the future! This place will not stay hidden for long!

Best Wishes,

Sven and Fleur (Belgium), September 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family,

Dear Nazy and Family,

Many thanks for your hospitality. We enjoyed much our stay. You helped us a lot organising our future trip. The food was delicious and now we are strengthened for our hike. We hope that we can stay longer next time.

David (Germany), August 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family, many thanks for a lovely stay at your place. You have a wonderful house and the food was excellent. Your house was a welcome place for rest and relaxation. That was much needed after Tbilisi. It was also really interesting to learn more about the Kist culture and life in Pankisi. We definitely hope to come back soon!

Kirsi and Lauri (Finland), August 2014

 

Dear Nazy, I wish we had more time to stay a bit longer at your place. The food was fantastic, best food we have had. You were great helping us to organise our trips. If one day you come to France, you are very welcome at our place.

Olivier, Antoine, Martine, Fatima (France), August 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family, we felt like home at your house. The food was delicious, somehow we are happy that we stayed only two days, otherwise we would have gained too much weight. Special thanks to Nona, it was nice being showed around by her. Barkal!

Barbara, Livia, Martin (Germany), August 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family, Our stay with you has been about much more than travelling – we have such a whole new world here in Pankisi Valley and Jokolo. Your hospitality, food, horses, surroundings, mountains – everything deserve five stars. We wish you every success with an already amazing venture and very much hope to return. With our sincerest thanks,

Ahto and Janica (Estonia), July 2014

 

Dear Nazy and Family, we stayed one day but we very much appreciated your hospitality even in sad situation. I wish you all the best.

Walter Sancassiani (Italy), July 2014

 

Dear Nazy and family, what a great time I had! Thank you so much. Your hospitality and delightful food makes this a special stay. Also your care and arrangements of the trekking was so wonderful.

Dear Nazy and your family, we found paradise in your house.

We are sure once people from different places can learn from you how to run a guest house. With all the best wishes to you and your family.

Katarzyna and Aldona (Poland, Holland), June 4014

 

Dear Nazy & Family, I really loved and enjoyed your warm hospitality & great food. The stay was very comfortable and I surely would visit again. The trekking was an amazing experience. If there is one place I would recommend to anyone visiting this beautiful country, it would be Nazy’s Guest House. Thank you so much.

Vishal (India & Dubai), May 2014

 

It’s been a pleasure getting to stay at your home and experience unadulterated hospitality. Please know that my friends and I had an amazing stay with you and will look forward to returning anytime. The locals were also very kind and warm. I enjoyed the meals prepared by Nazy’s mother and am very glad that we chose Nazy’s Guest House. Much obliged.

Neil Cheran (Indai & UAE), May 2014

 

Nazy & Family, our stay at your guest house was the highlight of our trip to Georgia. From the local cuisine lovingly prepared by Nazy’s mother to the expert advice offered by changes to the great friends we made at the guest house. Everything we experienced was worthy of praise. Thank you Nazy’s family for giving us unforgettable memories of the Pankisi valley & the people of Jokolo. Looking forward to meeting you again. And we will make sure we send more of our friends your way.

Sameer Islam (India & UAE), May 2014

Benita (England), September 2013

 

Dear Nazy and Family,

Thank you so much for the amazing hospitality and time you have given us over the last two weeks. We have been completely spoilt by your welcoming family and the amazing comfort of your home. The food was absolutely delicious every day and we were thoroughly honoured by your invite to the mountains which we enjoyed immensely. We hope to return many times in the next two weeks to give lots more English lessons! Thank you for everything.

Rosie Cookson (England), September 2013

 

We found a nice leaflet with useful information – ‘How to come’ – ‘How to find and prices’. Three hours later we arrived in Pankisi Valley – Jokolo and ‘Nazy’s Guesthouse’.  Nazy you work seriously with your idea, and you do it perfectly right and we really hope you will have success. You have a nice family, cook delicious food, answer all our questions and are full of useful information. You are the perfect hostess. We wish you and your family all the best for the future, and thank you very much for your hospitality.

PS. We will never forget the cake.

Kim & Jaspar (Netherlands), September 2013

 

A great guesthouse in the rustic village Jokolo. We had a wonderful time camping in the garden, also the rooms looked splendid. The family is very welcoming and helpful, and the food is delicious and diverse! The area is very beautiful and there are many possibilities to organize activities from the guesthouse. A tour (on foot or on horseback). See also the beautiful website http://nazysguesthouse.com.

Kim & Jasper (Holland), Trip Advisor Review, 29th September 2013

We came to Nazy’s Guesthouse after a stay in Tusheti; Pankisi Valley interested us because of its unique cultural diversity; following an overview by Nazy we took a tour to explore the village and get to know the people. The stay here was very relaxing, welcoming, and we had a chance to get to know Nazy’s Family. Their hospitality is much appreciated.  Food is excellent, we will remember the taste of pear jam.

Guy, Annabelle, Noga & Naama (Israel), August 2013

 

Thank you very much for your hospitality, Nazy – we especially enjoyed the lovely green garden and your delicious food!! We’ll recommend your homestay to other travellers!

Thank you Nazy and your family, for your wonderful hospitality, we enjoyed every moment in your tranquil house, we loved the fresh food and we highly appreciated your patience and easy going attitude towards the kids.

Anat, Shai, Itamar, & Galit (Israel), July 2013

 

It has been really enlightening to know about Pankisi and Kist culture, these are things that make travel such an unforgettable and rich experience. Thank you Nazy for everything, I felt very comfortable there. I will be back one day for the Jokolo-Tusheti horse & culture experience.

Mikel (Spain), July 2013

 

We have driven from England to visit Georgia in our Overlander Vehicle. We have been welcomed by Nazy and her family very warmly.  We have been offered the washing machine, showers and the most wonderful meals, so we are feeling rested and well fed after 6500kms!  Nazy has been so helpful and kind and has looked after us so well. The bedrooms are spotless and comfortable, and we would recommend ‘Nazy’s Guest House’ to anyone coming to explore this beautiful country. Don’t miss the road to Omalo, it was one of the best driving experiences we have had.

 Richard & Paula Winter (Saffron Walden, England), July 2013

 

My husband and I stayed for two nights and we wish we could have stayed longer. This is such a peaceful place. The food was amazing! Some of the best we have had. Thank you so much for your kindness and making us feel welcome and comfortable. Hope to see you in the future. Good Luck.

Cassi & Nick (USA), July 2013

 

Four of us stayed one night @ Nazy’s Guest House. We are travelling to Tusheti. We have had a lovely stay. People are warm & friendly. We had an excellent breakfast & Nazy prepared us a picnic lunch to take into the mountains. We would love to return one day and would recommend this guest house to everyone.

Eva, Nicholas, Karen (UK), & Remi (Georgia), July 2013

 

I stayed at Nazy’s Guest House just one night, but I am sure I will be back next time for longer.  Very nice place; and very nice interesting people; kind, warm and helpful with everything. I had the best sleep in Georgia!!! I will be back soon!

Jacek (Krakow Poland), June 2013

 

My stay at Nazy’s Guest House has been a truly lovely experience. Everyone here has made me feel very much at home. I am sad to be leaving after nearly two weeks spent with such, wonderful, genuine, interesting people. But I’ll return next year, and this thought is very much a consolation. Best of luck to everyone! And thanks for the warmth and food (delicious) and company!
