Foreign tourists should be warned: the owner of this hostel, David, behaves in an inappropriate and unsafe way. Staying at this hostel can put you in an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situation.
On March 7, 2024, my friend and I stayed at this hostel. From the very beginning, David acted overly familiar and crossed normal boundaries. I was supposed to stay only one night, because I had to take my foreign friend to the airport. As soon as it got dark, David started insisting almost demanding that we drink wine with him. He also invited another girl staying at the hostel. Even after both of us clearly said we did not want to drink, he continued pressuring us.
He then insisted that he would personally drive my friend to Kutaisi Airport. We refused several times, but he kept pushing until we finally agreed. On the way back, I wanted to sit in the back seat, but he forcefully made me sit in the front. During the entire drive, he made inappropriate and sexual comments. As a 19-year-old girl, it was frightening and extremely uncomfortable to be spoken to like that by a man his age.
I will not describe every detail, but this man showed completely unprofessional, intrusive, and unsafe behavior. He is not someone you can trust.
I will leave the same warning on every platform where his hostel appears. Guests deserve to know what kind of environment they are entering.
