Summary of traveller reviews

Backpackers house markhaba in Samarkand is praised for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and its excellent cleanliness. Guests also appreciate the convenient location, within walking distance of major sights. Some travellers noted that the property could be more social and that mattresses were hard.

The staff were amazing, and the place was very clean and up to a great standard. Good WiFi and great shower. Most important though is how great the staff were, really nice people.

Convenient location and clean but the owner tries to make extra money off tourists: I arrived at 6am after a night train(very common in Uzbekistan) and, although the room I had booked was free and clean, I was charged half the night to be able to check in early. The next day, I left at 6am for a flight so there weren't extra expenses for owner for early check-in: simply a way to make more money off tourists. I didn't see this policy on the reservation email and didn't appreciate it.

We stayed for four nights while we explored Samarkand and had a lovely time. The hostel was clean, the staff were helpful, and the kitchen was good. Also it is walking distance from Registan Square and the other main attractions in the city. I would highly recommend staying here!
