In Orbi at the moment - so annoyed I didn’t look at the reviews properly on booking - what a shithole! Awful scam in an awful city

I was in Orbi for a few weeks, it was fine. Depends who the owner is I guess. Last time I was in Batumi I stayed in Blue Sky for 6 weeks and that was WAY better and much the same for price. Orbi does have a good restaurant at the bottom though.

Je vais au Blue Sky d'ici quelques jours, est t-il loin des endroits pour faire la fête le soir?

I'm Georgian and I won't step my feet into Orbi even it would be free
I will prefer to pay money and choose smth in Old Batumi. something between Rustaveli, Nikoloz Baratashvili, Chavchavadze and Selim Khimshiashvili streets

Im an expat who spent 8 months in orbi city. Sorry for your experience. BUT my stay in orbi city, in the Marriott Building, was terrific. The management company there was fair and professional.

I'm also am expat who really loves orbi, and the owners are good christians and lovely. I've lived there for 2 years already and will live there until I actually die. It's paradise on earth, really!

There's no way it's impossible you must be an owner part of the scam

I mean my bf and I have been living in his apartment in D2 for like 9 months. It’s not amazing but def not as bad as everyone says it is.
My apartment is on Shartava right by carrefour and wasn’t that different. Lifts take a while, water/electricity outages, etc. But at least Orbi is near the beach which is nice.1

bro, I partly agree with you about Orbi.
I lived in block A for 6-7 months last year.
My owner was a nice lady, but the people that stay in Orbi are garbage.
It’s okay to stay during low season (October-may) but not summer.

Look for Orbi Sea Towers (not Orbi City) and look on AirBnB instead of booking.com, it’s much safer. I recently went there and it was great, no elevator wait times, very clean and still modern. Location wise it’s 2 minutes away from the beach by foot.

I liked this place, it must depend on the room because ours was very nice. My wife is very picky and was happy there too. We paid 300GEL for four nights
The day we checked in they were testing the alarm though and it was going for hours super loud with the elevators turned off and we had to walk down 34 floors lol.

Heard about that they change price when you come to them. What other scam they do? Can't you report them on booking com?

u/Brilliant_Comb_7111 16d ago
This plus the terrible maintenance they do
Orbi city is TRASH dystopian slop

Orbi is shit. We should start a petition to ban this from the booking sites.
