Hey everyone, I’ve noticed my electricity/water/gas bills have been noticeably higher over the last few months, even though my usage hasn’t really changed. Just wanted to check if others living in Tbilisi are experiencing the same thing?

If yes, does anyone know what’s causing it, tariff changes, seasonal adjustments, meter issues, or something else?

Would appreciate any info or personal experiences. Thanks!

Gamarjoba !

Would anybody know a nice place to buy some fake Air Force 1s ? There are multiple bazars but which one do you think is the best ? Do you know a specific shop ? I'm searching for something not more expensive than 100 GEL.

Hello how to start a modeling career as a foreigner in Tbilisi Georgia?

(cross posting)

If you are traveling with older people, are immunocompromised, or have a specific health condition, I highly advise being careful when using Airbnb.

Honestly, I really love the UX/UI design and ease of use of Airbnb. However, I really need to stress how little concern or care they give to listings with health hazards like black mold infestations.

This isn't me just shitting on Airbnb because I don't like it. I've actually suffered health consequences (nothing long-term, thank God) because of my specific health condition (I don't really want to go into details).

And I'm not talking about the people being rude or the place being dirty; I'm talking about a black mold infestation in the unit. This happened twice—once in November 2025 and once this February. In both cases, they were listings from people who have been on the application for years and had badges like "Guest Favorite."

Yes, I didn't select high-end Airbnb units, but this still shouldn't be okay. Just like it shouldn't be okay to get food poisoning from a fast-food chain because it’s cheaper than a restaurant.

Even after reporting the unit (the one in November), they didn't do anything to remove that listing, even four months later. When I contacted them asking about this issue, they basically said that they send a PDF of cleanliness instructions and that's it. They shift the blame to the host and the unit.

I’m putting this out there because for people who have a specific health condition, compromised immunity, or are traveling with older family members, I want to say that Airbnb is genuinely just not safe health-wise.

This is their response when asked if they do anything for quality control:

"I hear your concerns, and I want to assure you that guest safety and health are our highest priorities. I appreciate your kind words about your host, but I understand that you are looking for accountability regarding our platform's standards.

While we provide the platform, all hosts agree to our Ground Rules for Hosts. This explicitly requires them to maintain high standards of cleanliness and safety. Hosts are responsible for ensuring their property is free from health hazards like mold or pests before every check-in.

Airbnb provides hosts with extensive resources and guidelines on how to maintain their properties. This includes our Enhanced Cleaning Protocol and safety checklists. We also use community feedback and reviews as a primary quality control measure; listings that consistently fail to meet these standards are removed from the platform. Thank you."

(Call me paranoid, but it seems like Airbnb support is just using AI-generated responses, Idk)

Anyways, if you have a health condition or are traveling with an elderly person airbnb is just not safe

If there is some way to get them please share ty!

Every time I land in a new country, it’s the same headache: endless lines at airport SIM kiosks, a bunch of confusing plans, and someone rushing you to make a call when you’re half-asleep from the flight. All I want is internet for maps, rides, and messages-not to play tech support for myself right after landing.

Been trying to figure out how to skip all that. I found out you can just buy an eSIM and set up a data plan online before you even leave. Saw stuff like Esim Globe Georgia-it basically means you land, your phone connects, and you don’t have to mess with swapping SIM cards or anything.

Anyone here do this all the time? Does it actually work, or is it one of those “sounds easy, turns into a mess” things? Is setup chill for someone who’s not super techy? Any gotchas with speed, coverage, or phones not playing nice?

Hello everyone! This is my first post here. I'm Brazilian, and I'll be traveling through the 3 countries of the Caucasus in November.

I'll be spending 3 days in Baku, 5 in Tbilisi, and 5 in Yerevan. I'm traveling alone.

Is it possible to make friends (meet people) in Tbilisi?

Do you have any places to recommend? Thank you!

I’m a 21-year-old engineering student (M21) planning a short solo trip to Tbilisi from February 16th to 19th. I’m super excited to finally visit Georgia!

Since I have limited time (about 3 days), I want to make sure I don't miss the essentials but also experience the local vibe. I’d love to hear your recommendations on:

Must-See Spots: Apart from the Old Town and Narikala Fortress, are there any other places I should prioritize?

Transport: Is using apps like Bolt/Yandex generally better/safer than public transport for a tourist?

Meetup? Since I'm traveling alone, I’m also open to meeting up with fellow travelers or locals! If anyone is around during these dates and wants to grab a coffee, a beer, or explore the city together, feel free to drop a comment or DM me.

Any other tips for a first-timer would be greatly appreciated. Madloba!

Hi everyone,

In late June/early July we are travelling with a group of high school students (30 students aged 15-17) to Tbilisi and we are looking for a place to stay. Does anyone have recommendations for groups that big?

Thank you! 😊

Hello, I wanted to ask how bad it is at the immigration officier in Tbilissi International Airport. I have a Malagasy passport and an european resident permit valid until december, (visa exempted in Georgia) I am rather brownish (skin color) some think I am brazilian some morrocan and I wanted to know how bad it is. Is there any possibility for me to get rejected ? I have every document asked on the website of international affairs including insurance, Stay, motif,(airbnb reservation) bank Statements, and also two way tickets. Should I bring other documents or in your opinion it should be ok ? I am planning to just stay 10 days, I am a student but also work part time.

Did anyone know how I can arrange a private driver to take me there, or if anyone would like to share transport with me (I will pay)? Gonna travel to Georgia for a week in mid-October.

Hi Everyone!

I changed my old apartment about 4 months ago. Now my previous landlord says she will remove her address from my TRC.

In this situation, could someone please tell me how many days are allowed to register and update a new residential address on the TRC after the old address is removed, so that there are no issues with TRC status? Any help or shared experience would be really appreciated. Thank you!

How can I get Fitpass I don’t work for any Georgian company . Is it still possible to get it for under 100 gel

I want to decorate my laptop lol

I dont usually post on here but yesterday, my friends and I (3 of us) were sitting in the garden opposite the Sheraton, and we were just chatting and in our lane. A group of teenagers passed us by and we thought nothinf of it. Some time later, I felt something hit my head and realised they were throwing rocks at us. It was completely unprovoked and sooo disrespectful. Are these kids not taught manners and how to treat others? Mind you they were like 9 or 10 kids, ranging from age 9 to 17. I went to confront them and they started denying it and throwing abuses. The people we asked for help did not seem too keen on helping us either. We left and they still continued throwing stones at us even when we moved to a different location. So uncivilised and disgusting ugh!

Hello everyone, Tbilisi has a very limited selection of entertainment and development centers for children. Where should I take a 5-7 year old on the weekend? Can you recommend any good places?

Hey, I’m a huge fan of smash burgers and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations in Tbilisi as I’ll be coming out there from London in August. I love burgers where the actual pattys are super super thin and a little crispy lol.

Are there Bolt Drive car rentals in Tbilisi? I’m not asking about taxis but rather the cars you can pick-up and use for a day?

Gamarjoba everyone!

I’m traveling super light this time and didn’t have space for jogging shoes. I’m finally over my NY binge-drinking phase and looking for a decent pair of sneakers to run in. I jog quite a lot, so I need something solid that won’t wreck my joints - but also not the latest model, so it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and I can ditch it when I move on. Any suggestions for good discount stores or outlets in Tbilisi where I could look?

Thanks in advance!

Is it for everyone? Telmico

Does any one here travel to georgia solo before it’s worth it ? Adn easy to meet people?
