The waitresses and busgirl were great but when the cook didn't have what I ordered, he just brought me a different dish, without telling me what was happening. I returned it. No big deal. The accusations and insults came later. So instead I ate most of my travelling partners dish and we both got incredibly sick, but I ate most of the meat so I got the worst of it, and I had to go to the hospital from rancid, old meat. It was my only meal that day, so there is no question what caused it. A complete nightmare for travellers, vomiting in my airbnb, on the international bus, in my next airbnb, and now a hospital stay (I'm fully covered by insurance, there will be no bill after I get reimbursed) and three days of holiday destroyed. The absolute worst. To their credit, when I first messaged them asking them to throw out the meat so nobody else gets violently ill, they said they would pay my bill, which is nice, but it's only 20 lari(7 dollars) after insurance. But these nice gestures of trying to pay me to take down my bad review were overshadowed the next morning when I woke to a message calling me a liar. Because I hate posting bad reviews and have never done it before, I was going to take it down in the morning. Then I woke up to them calling me a liar, saying my story wasn't believable, that you could not possibly travel 155 kilometers in the time I described( you can get there in half the time I described) , that quality food products can't spoil, and that I lied because the 11 dollar meal was too expensive for me(this was the cheapest meal I've ever ordered, even cheaper than Mexico or Romania or Georgia).This was literally the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had or seen. After losing what seemed like gallons of water from diahrea in the night, I finally threw up at ten am walking to my bus from SURMENE to sarpi, then a cab. I threw up my only meal of the day before, my pasta and meatballs. I could not keep water down and my muscles were so cramped I almost could not walk l. I fainted when I got out of the cab to the room, then puked again( I puked on the bus too) then my host was so worried he called an ambulance. i sent the pics of me in the ambulance, the hospital, and my paperwork from the hospital and they still called me a liar and refered to it as my 'alleged experience'..I was going to take my bad review down because food poisoning is an accident, but the horrible accusations about lying and the crazy lies about travelling time and food safety were the biggest insult I've ever experienced. They actually said that I lied because 11 dollars was "expensive" for me- and this was literally the most inexpensive meal I've ever eaten in a Restaurant, even cheaper than Mexico or Georgia or Romania..Sadly, my only goal was to let them know they had bad meat that needed to be thrown out, but they insisted that it was not possible that their meat could spoil because it is "quality product" - which shows a shocking lack of knowledge about food
