Homestays in Samarkand Region, Uzbekistan

The hotel has an interesting interior and is conveniently located, with all attractions nearby. It's very clean and comfortable. The reception staff are always helpful with any questions and provide great advice, a big thank you to them. I especially want to thank the chefs who prepare the breakfasts; they are delicious, with fresh pastries and a variety of dishes, and they added something new every day. In the evenings, you can have tea in the dining room. My wife and I loved everything and will recommend the hotel to our friends and acquaintances. We particularly remember the breakfasts on the 'tapchan' (raised platform).

This guest house is a wonderful budget-friendly option in Samarkand. It’s conveniently located near the city center, only about 2 km from Registan Square and other major attractions, making it very easy to get around. The room rates are affordable, with options for 2 or 4 guests, which is perfect for couples, families, or groups of friends. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a pleasant stay. The host is incredibly kind, gentle, and always willing to help with anything you need. One of the highlights was the homemade breakfast prepared by the family — generous, delicious, and offering a wide variety of dishes each morning. For easier navigation or when booking a taxi, it’s best to search for “Bilol Hotel” on Google Maps. Wishing this lovely guest house continued success and many more happy guests in the future!

We had a wonderful stay here. The English speaking staff were super friendly and helpful, offering recommendations for local restaurants and ATMs. It’s based in a peaceful local neighbourhood within walking distance to Registan square and the bazaar, and 10 minute drive from the train station. The bed and bathroom was comfortable, clean and modern. We left behind some clothes, which the boss was super generous and helpful in posting it to us in another city, so we are super grateful. We would stay here again and totally recommend other travellers to stay here!

If we disregard some ”minor issues,” the hotel is generally not bad: 1. During my two-day stay, there were three power outages. The first was just as I was about to take a shower (I'm so glad I hadn't started showering yet). The second was after a brief power outage. The third was the most frustrating. After a long day of hiking, I returned to my room exhausted to find it completely dark, with no switches or air conditioning working… It took a long time for a staff member to see me and turn the power back on… Apparently, they deliberately cut off my room's power. How ”environmentally conscious” they are! 2. This is a family-run guesthouse, so I wasn't expecting a hotel-style welcome. However, their service attitude still made me feel uncomfortable… From check-in to check-out, even when they asked for a positive review, everyone had a cold face towards me, making me constantly wonder if I owed them money or if I was just too ugly… Perhaps it was a culture shock? But of all the countries I've visited, only the staff here are so ”solemn and dignified”... Very well... If this is how you treat your guests... I will never laugh again in Uzbekistan... It makes me look like a clown... 3. Terrible service. There was never anyone at the front desk, especially when the power went out in my room and I needed help... During my two-night stay, no one cleaned the room. Now for the pros: 1. The room was clean, bright, and spacious, spotless. 2. The breakfast was very good, plentiful, and nutritionally balanced. Furthermore: Only the bottled water in the room was free on the first night of your stay; they didn't replenish it during your stay. A bottle of water in the refrigerator next to the front desk cost 5000 soms.

The moment I pushed open the gate and stepped into the courtyard, a sense of ease and comfort instantly returned. Sitting under the trees, sipping tea and enjoying breakfast was simply the most comfortable and relaxing moment of my day. The courtyard was filled with various fruit trees, cherry trees laden with fruit, meaning I could have freshly picked cherries for breakfast. In a few months, I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy apples and grapes for breakfast too!

This cozy, family-run guesthouse is a wonderful place to relax, offering peace, quiet, and a true homely feel. There's a strict no-smoking and no-alcohol policy on the property and inside the house, ensuring fresh air and a clean atmosphere. The surroundings are beautiful. In the mornings, you'll only hear birds singing and the gentle rustling of trees. The rooms are clean, attractive, and feel just like home. Every morning, guests are treated to delicious, hearty, and fresh breakfasts. The hosts are incredibly friendly, warm, and responsive people. They create an atmosphere where you feel like a valued guest. This is the perfect spot for anyone looking to escape the noise and recharge.

The landlord's son speaks excellent English, making communication easy. The breakfast was also plentiful. The room was very quiet with the windows closed, and the air conditioning cooled down quickly. There are many local pilaf and baked bun shops nearby, perfect for those who enjoy exploring local life. The locals are very friendly. The courtyard was very comfortable, with many plants and birds, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decorations in every corner of the room were thoughtful, showing that the owners are people who love life. This guesthouse also offers pilaf making workshops. If you're traveling in a group or want to experience making pilaf in a large pot, you can contact the owner in advance to make a reservation. The aroma is wonderful just walking by!

We loved everything. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the linens are clean and new, and the blankets are warm and soft. The room has a bar fridge and kettle, air conditioning, and a TV. The shower is spacious enough, and clean towels were provided during cleaning. The house itself is beautiful, and breakfast in the courtyard is a delight. The food is homemade, freshly prepared, and there's plenty for everyone. The attention to guests is excellent, any requests or wishes are fulfilled, and the service is excellent. This is a place you'll want to return to 👍

Rajab bobo is a perfect place to stay. I’ll definitely stay here for the next time if I visit Samarqand again! It is very clean, quiet, and the smell is good. It resides in a home, only a few rooms are available, so the in-out travelers are very simple. And the position is perfect, very near Registan. A supermarket is close, and there’s a few good restaurants nearby.

A very cozy, homey hotel with the highest quality of service. At our request, they upgraded our European-style room to an authentic one. I recommend it both for its location and because every reasonable request, from morning coffee or a corkscrew for wine in the evening to dinner reservations, is graciously fulfilled.
