Guest house

Rima B.

Rima is 36 years old and runs a guest house with her parents in Khulo, a mountain village in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara in southwest Georgia.

With her experience as a hotel administrator and accountant in a bank, Rima is very well equipped to run her family business. The different family members also have foreign language skills so that they can communicate with their guests in Russian, English and German. As a very dynamic and learning-oriented person, Rima would like to deepen her knowledge of business management. She has already attended a BPN training course on financial planning and social media marketing.

Project description

The guest house, which was opened in 2019, offers Georgian and foreign guests board and lodging in four newly furnished rooms in a traditional wooden house outside Khulo. The guest house offers space for 12 people. Unique to the area is a wood-heated sauna, which was built as part of a complete renovation in 2019.

Surrounded by vast mountain meadows and dense forests, the region invites you to explore in the immediate vicinity of the guest house. There are also picnic areas and camping facilities on the farm belonging to the house. There is a schnapps distillery in the hotel's own cellar. In future, guests will be able to taste a variety of schnapps here. The house also has a large balcony with a view over the entire valley. Rima tries to incorporate all these positive features into the marketing of her guest house via social media, online booking portals and cooperation with tourism agencies. At the same time, she is working on improving safety standards so that she can also offer families with children vacations in a natural environment in the future.
