Having gained independence in 1991 following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan is a young country. But the roots of this vast land are ancient.
For centuries, this area of land was a major crossroads along the Silk Road – an age-old trading route that stretched all the way from China to the Mediterranean. Samarkand, one of three major cities dotted along the road, contains so many architectural feats from this period that it has been classed entirely as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See for yourself at the Registan, a wide plaza bordered by three mosaic-covered madrassas (religious schools) with bright turquoise domes. To the west, Bukhara offers similarly impressive landmarks, including the ruins of a 5th-century royal compound known as the Ark, while the walled city of Khiva further north is the most remote but best-preserved of the Silk Road cities. Here you’ll find stunning mosques, mausoleums and palaces towering over a labyrinth of streets. But there’s more to Uzbekistan than ancient history. Tashkent, the urban capital in the eastern region, is refreshingly cosmopolitan, while in the far north you can visit the Aral Sea – formerly one of the world’s largest lakes now on the verge of disappearing completely.
Hotels and guesthouses are aplenty in the capital, as well as in the Silk Road cities. Accommodation is quite limited elsewhere.

The location is excellent and the facilities were very satisfying, but the best part of all was the hotel staff. They were incredibly kind and explained everything about the hotel services in great detail. They even prepared pleasant surprise gifts such as wine and fruits. If you want a truly enjoyable stay, you should definitely choose this hotel.

We had an absolutely memorable stay at Berchmulla Resort.
The 2-bedroom chalet was truly luxurious, spacious, and perfect for our family.
A special thanks to Mr. Anvar, the Resort Manager, who was extremely supportive and attentive throughout our stay.
The snowfall experience was magical, and our kids enjoyed every moment of it.
The food was extraordinary, with great taste and variety.
As vegetarians, we were very happy with the excellent veg options available.
The restaurant manager was also very helpful and ensured we were well taken care of.
Every detail made us feel warmly welcomed and truly special.
The service, comfort, and hospitality exceeded our expectations.

Guest review
I really like everything about the property, the location, the room with a courtyard, the breakfast and the staff! A wholehearted THANKS to Farrux, the staff who checked me in and helped me book the train tickets! And the other staff, quite young, helped guests with coffee and everything during breakfast. They are so kind, warm and helpful! I traveled alone but I really feel at home in this hotel. Will definitely come here again every time I come to Bukhara! Thank youuuuu.

Guest review
Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The breakfasts were absolutely wonderful — fresh, varied, and delicious every morning. The staff were incredibly attentive and caring, always going the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a lovely complimentary fruit plate, and fresh bottled water was provided daily. The furniture throughout the hotel is brand new and modern, and a pleasant, subtle fragrance fills every space. The rooms are bright and airy with very comfortable mattresses, making for an excellent night's sleep. The lobby is spacious and impressive, and the cozy inner courtyard is a perfect spot to relax.

Meros Hotel features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Bukhara.
Guest review
One of the best boutique hotels I've ever stayed in. This is a family-owned hotel with fantastic room décor (done by the owner and her daughters), great location just steps from the main streets of Bukhara, and the friendliest staff. They have the cutest little yard where you can have breakfast outside. There's also a 24/7 reception desk, which is a great perk that I didn't always encounter in other boutique hotels I stayed in. They'll schedule you a taxi ride, offer you coffee, or just engage in a soulful confersation with you about life in general, it feels like you're part of the family.
