This hotel is a little gem in the middle of Khiva. Can't say enough how wonderful everything was. Excellent breakfast, attentive staff, real welcome feel, close to attractions.

Breakfast could have been a little more varied! After 3 mornings eating the same thing, it became a bit boring. Only two single beds in the room, instead of one double. For couples, could be nice to have a double.

Wonderful, warm and welcoming owner & staff, who even went so far as to put a big screen tv in our room so my husband could watch a much anticipated football match. Gorgeous courtyard with traditional Uzbek table, and views of the minaret. We had fun dressing up in the outfits in the lobby. Very central location, walking distance to everything you might want to visit. Overall, a wonderful experience. Would recommend.

I had a great stay in Islam Khodja guesthouse! The location is right in the heart of Khiva and you can reach all main attractions walking. The room was clean and comfortable. The owner and his family were super helpful and tried their best to make my stay comfortable, helping me with every request and even preparing for me a lunch box for the last day since I had an early flight. I highly recommend it!

Lovely room, comfy bed and great breakfasts. But the absolute best thing about Islam Khodja was the staff who went out of their way to help me, give advice and make sure I was having a good time in their beautiful city. The hotel is simple but homely and that's part of its charm. Would definitely come back.

Well run by two brothers Roma and Tilla, who are very helpful with good English skills. Tilla is a good driver who picked us up at the Urgench airport, and another day took us to visit several fortresses and then to the train station. Nice accommodation with pleasant common area, and two seating areas for breakfast, one outdoors and one indoors. Nice breakfast buffet with a variety of items. Great location within the old city walls, easy walking distance to all sites, restaurants, etc.

Really nice guest house within the old city (Itchan Kala), everything is within walking distance. It is tucked away a bit so the guest house is very quiet. There are loads of restaurants nearby, the hosts gave us really good recommendations on where to eat and were generally really helpful. The breakfast was really tasty with proper coffee and it was really nice to have breakfast in the courtyard.

Wonderful welcome, comfortable room and when the host couldn't get us a taxi to the station he drove us and found a man to take our cases for us.

The Guest house is right inside the walls of Khiva so brilliantly placed for exploring the town

All good.

I had a fabulous stay at Islam Khodja. Although I only stayed one night, I was given a fantastic room with a view. Two things set this guesthouse apart. Its owner is caring and industrious and the availability of free tea and coffee was super nice. The breakfast was also delicious.

Great location inside the old city. Very helpful host who succeeded in getting me a difficult-to-obtain train ticket to Buckhara

Perhaps a bit more space in the room to leave our stuff, to us it was no big deal as we travel light. Other guests with more luggage may find the room lacks a a bit more storage space

Staff was super helpful. After an overnight flight, they rushed to get our room ready as soon as the guests left and let us check-in 6h in advance! Also, breakfast was great and they organised trips to nearby attractions super efficiently. We had the best time in the hotel.

Located in a peaceful corner of the old town, just a minute walk from where all the historic monuments begin. The room and shower were very clean and tidy. Hot water was available at any time. Breakfast is rich and varied. The owner of the place is a lovely and polite guy. He also offers private tours for reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Single room was very small with equally small bathroom.

Lovely guesthouse located inside the walls of Old Khiva where I can walk everywhere. Helpful host who drove me to get local sim card outside Old Khiva and even dropped me and my friends at the train station for free. He speaks English which was helpful. Highly recommended.

Awesome place run by friendly hosts in the old city. They have a great backyard with the view of the Islam Khodja minaret where we enjoyed our delicious breakfast and evening coffee. One of the days we had to leave at 6 in the morning for a day trip and the hosts packed us lunch for the road. They are really friendly and they had great restaurant recommendations for us.

Incredible location right in the Itchan Kala, extremely warm and accommodating staff, and comfy rooms. Really nice spot for a trip to Khiva.

Great location - in the old city within city walks, easy walk everywhere Delicious breakfast buffet, also tea and snacks available all the time Nice outside patio to relax after sightseeing Amazing hospitality- we booked with the host the pick up from Urgench and then a Khorezm fortress trip with a transfer to Bukhara- very professional service and very reasonable price The only slight minus - as it’s an old house, bathroom has no ventilation so it’s gets a smell. But that’s unavoidable if you want to stay at such old traditional place .

We have been truly touched by the hospitality and warmth from the host and his family at Islam Khodja. The whole guesthouse is thoughtfully done (It is the family home of the owner and it felt very authentic). The rooms and bathrooms are spotlessly clean with all the facilities. Breakfast was 10/10. It was so good and all homemade. Do try all their dishes, each and every dish is tasty. My partner was vegetarian and she had a lot of varieties to try and we were quite happy. The owner and his family are always around for any support you need, very kind of them. The guesthouse is located within the walled city so all attractions are nearby. The hosts had given us great food recommendations and we liked all of them. Last but not the least, they made a surprise birthday cake for my partner for her birthday - We were truly touched by this gesture. All in all we had an amazing experience, we will never forget the hospitality and kindness. Wish all the best. We highly recommend staying here, it's worth every penny!!

We loved everything about Islam Khodja, this delightful family owned and run guesthouse, from the location to the generous breakfast, the clean rooms to the fast wifi but most of all we appreciated the warmth and genuineness of the hosts. We had long and insightful discussions with Runa about Uzbekistan, its rich history, food and culture. His recommendations on places to visit, restaurants to try etc were all spot on. For all 5 of us this was our favourite stay of the 3 guesthouses we stayed in Uzbekistan. Thank you again and wish you all the best for the future!
