Homestays in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

The hotel is conveniently located about one kilometer from Registan, Shah-i-Zinda, the mosque, and the Grand Bazaar, all within walking distance. It's a guesthouse in a small courtyard, clean and tidy, though some facilities are lacking (no toothbrushes, slippers, or an electric kettle). Hot water needs to be heated in the communal kitchen. The owner is very kind, provides a tourist map, and speaks English. When I visited, there was road construction, making it very difficult to get around, but it should be finished in a few days, so future guests will be lucky.

Location of the address is inaccurate. Taxis tend to stop at opposite the road. Signage is very small. Need to pay attention to see the blue signage. I like to quietness and quaintness of this hotel, but bathroom facilities wise, it not fulfilling the basic needs of a traveller because of the shower facility. Otherwise, Environment is good, i like especially the outdoor seating space at ground floor. The hot water in the bathroom is very inconsistent. Water flow is very low from the shower head. Sometimes water get very hot and almost burnt my skin many times. Bathroom is very cramp very difficult to get even a proper shower. The staff did their best they can to clean up the place, fix the shower head and offer good service. But the facilities of the shower room needs proper maintenance and servicing, inconsistent hot water supply is frustrating.

Nifal is a great new hotel. I spent 3 nights there. What you see in the pictures, is what you get, even better once you see it in person. Amazingly clean, tastefully decorated, high ceiling, two bottles of water, toothbrush, sleepers, and best of all, you’re asked to take your shoes off and place it on a shoe rack by the room. How cool is that? (speaking of cleanliness) Farrux at the front desk speaks English well, very kind and helpful young man. Breakfast is plenty full and individually served at a desire time. Kitchen staff greets you with a smile every morning. Hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk from the popular tourist attraction. Couple of restaurants close by with their specialty kebab (chicken, lamb and beef), they also serve beer and wine.

I rarely write reviews, but I highly recommend this place. The location is good. Most importantly, the owner is incredibly friendly and makes you feel very welcome. It's also a big plus that the owner turns on the air conditioning for you in advance, there's a carpet, the bed is comfortable, and there are many TV channels. All in all, the attention to detail is almost impeccable, and it truly deserves its high rating!

I was traveling alone. I arrived from Bukhara by overnight train using Yndex Go. The building was at the end of a dark street. Even though it was late at night, around 7:30 pm, I was touched by the welcoming atmosphere. They asked what time I wanted breakfast, so I requested 8 am. It took courage to go out at that time, but I walked to Registan Square. I could see the blue mosque building against the sky and headed towards it. The breathtaking full view of the illuminated mosque was beautiful. The walk back to the hotel was a bit dark, but not a problem. It's a good location for visiting several mausoleums on foot early every morning. When I ate in the courtyard, small children came out, which was adorable. The mother and grandfather couldn't speak the language, but they were very kind.

This family-run guesthouse is highly recommended by locals. Although it's a bit far from tourist attractions and the train station, taxis are readily available and inexpensive in Samarkand. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, although it was a bit chilly at night in October with only a thin sheet. The landlady is very friendly, speaks excellent English, and the breakfast is delicious. The only downside is that the tax wasn't charged according to Ctrip's listing. Please be aware of this, as there might be changes. Although it's not a large amount, it's advisable to keep a receipt for reconciliation.

I chose this place based on reviews. You have to ask for toilet paper, water, or towel changes yourself. The drains might smell depending on the room. However, the location was fantastic and I liked the atmosphere of the place. However, please be aware of the following. Everyone else seems to have received transportation, but there's one review from someone who had the same experience as me. From the first day, the owner asked if I was going to the station for my return trip. When I said yes, he said he had free transportation and offered to drive me, and asked me to send him my train ticket, which I did via WhatsApp. On my last day, he even came to my room in the evening and told me that a car would be there at a certain time the next day, so I waited. However, the car never came. I was worried I would miss my train, so I messaged and called, but he completely ignored me. He hung up after about two rings. I was truly shocked; what kind of harassment is this? I waited until the last minute, but realizing there was no sign of the car coming, I called a taxi. If I had believed the owner and waited, I would have missed my train. I hadn't paid for breakfast, and I wanted to pay that too, but I couldn't get in touch with him anyway, so I couldn't pay. However, the difference between the free taxi fare and the breakfast cost wasn't that big, so I'll let it slide. He lent me a down jacket because it was cold when I went to Tajikistan. I was so impressed by how kind the owner was, but after this incident, I'm completely baffled as to why he would do something like this. It's just so strange. This owner is certainly fluent in English and seems kind at first glance, but he doesn't respond to my requests via message, and his responses are slow, so I can't trust him at all. I was hoping to stay there again the next time I come to Samarkand, so this is very disappointing. Finally, thank you for this sad experience.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Dilshoda in Samarkand. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of main attractions, and the area feels safe even at night. The staff were friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout my stay. Would definitely recommend.
