"We spent some days here and they accomplished all our demand. We had great welcome and many notable advices about the visit of the city and where/ what to eat in Samarkand. The host speaks really good english and he is a pleasant company, rich in experience and in story to be told. The area where the hotel is located is quiet and it offers many restaurant and amenities. Our flight back was late at night and they allowed us to leave our backpacks in the basement all day long."
"Everything was perfect. Just note that all the rooms are on the ground floor. They overlook a nice garden where people comes and goes, so it may be a little noisy a time."
"Beautiful property with extraordinarily friendly staff, would highly recommend"
"Aucun."
"What we really loved was the owner - he was so incredibly kind, caring and genuinely happy to have us. We felt so welcomed and at home. The little garden in the centre of the property is very sweet and the opportunity to use the kitchens and sit outside for meals was wholeheartedly welcomed by us. The family that run this place are so kind and we wish them nothing but the best."
"Our room didn’t have AC which made the stay a little bit hot especially during summer time - we didn’t mind too much though. The beds are also a tiny bit on the harder side but again, nothing detrimental."
"The host was very kind. He gave a very good advice in crossing the boarder from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan."
"Just took like 50 minutes walk to the main attraction but there is bus. There is bus stop just few minutes walk from the place."

Avis de Alua Guesthouse Kamolot
"We had a memorable experience at Reikartz Xon Tashkent. Conveniently located, there was a market very close to the hotel and very useful for late night shopping."
Avis de Silvia Xon Palace
"A very high-tier and unique family stay. The architecture is very traditional of the fine old town style and their artful additions are appreciated in rooms. Regarding them, the rooms are clean and comfortable with no issues to report in the en-suites. Breakfast is more than you can eat- so, perfect for a day of walking around Bukhara and prioritising those tea houses… For the price I’d say this goes above and beyond. Most will get exactly what they want and more from the property."
Avis de William Kohinoor
