Wikivoyage states travelers can overnight in the monastery's chambers if they can make themselves understood with the resident monks (limited English) — mentioned independently in both the 'Further afield' and 'Sleep' sections of the Akhaltsikhe guide.
General Serbian Orthodox monastic-stay custom: overnight stays require the blessing of the abbot/abbess, arranged in advance by phone or in person. At a men's monastery, male pilgrims may stay in the konak; women are typically directed to separate lodging nearby. A modest fee or donation is common but varies by monastery. This is general custom, not a monastery-specific guarantee.
