It flows into the Black Sea through the Colchis Lowland. Khobi town and Chkhorotsqu town are both situated on the banks of the Khobi river. It is used for irrigation in some areas. It is 150 km long, and has a drainage basin of 1340 km2.
The river is mainly fed by rainwater. The mean flow rate (30 km from the mouth) is 44.2 m3/s, maximum 333m3/s. The main tributary of the Khobi is the Chanistskali.
During the Great Patriotic War, as the Eastern Front of World War II was known in the Soviet Union, there was a temporary base of the Black Sea Fleet.
In 2000-2005 an oil depot for tankers was built in the village of Kulevi, near the mouth of the Khobi.
