Reviews of Salom Hostel

Very nice location and the staff was super nice to the owner is really welcoming and kind. Ready to arrange anything for you. There is a kitchen available and the bed were comfortable.

Great place to meet other travelers. Nice courtyard and good location. Host is friendly and helpful

The owners of the hostel were super nice, the room was comfortable and clean

Very comfy hostel with English and Russian speaking owners who can give you a lot of advice and info about the area. I felt great here and really enjoyed lazy evenings in the yard. Recommended!

Comfortable place and helpful host, he also arranged for me a trip to the Seven Lakes and a shared taxi to Khujand

The owner was nice to let me stay even if I arrived early as the check in time was. I saw a nice book ,,the tenant" so I had a good time passing the scorching heat day. Few meters is the main road which gives enough small restaurants. Where the locals go, I went so I had a good time. Panjakent is a small getaway City so it was a good experience. Toilet and bathroom are separated and has enough place for everybody.

It's just too hot to go out

The staff was incredibly helpful

Owner Zafar is most helpful kind informative so fluent in English even lent me his hat after I told him I lost mine! He told me he's fourth generation in that land and works for French ngo! Place has lovely courtyard and lots of toilets and showers. Supermarket 200m away

Felt a bit dark on streets heading to hostel at night but families and kids on the streets

Bed was comfortable and host was friendly. The social area in the courtyard was nice and had a social atmosphere.

The only issue I had was that the AC unit is in one of the dorm beds. One guy from France decided to make the rest of the people in the room suffer with 30 degree heat because he didn’t want the AC running in his bed. I can understand his issue but the real trouble is that the hostel should not be putting people in a bed with the AC inside the bunk. I sent a message to the owner at night asking if there’s another room I could move to since I paid for AC and he didn’t respond. Other than that, it was all fine.

The host was exceptionally knowledgeable about local places to visit and enjoy; facilities are developing with good taste and plan; nice inner court yard to socialize

Maybe gender division for sleeping rooms? Rooms are tight for six persons. Personally I do not enjoy sharing a room with snoring...

The atmosphere was great with all the other travellers. Kitchen facilities were very good and the family as so helpful and efficient! And I love the cats!!

Friendly owner who can give useful tips and even arrange tours. I paid 110 som for one night, which is fair. It’s a decent place to meet other backpackers, Overall, I’d recommend it for a short stay, especially if you’re just passing through.

The rooms are quite small and the beds were uncomfortable — especially if you have a sensitive back. I only stayed one night, but during that time the AC was turned off at night, making the room very hot (visited in July). There are quite a few stray cats roaming around the hostel — if you’re allergic, bring medication and keep your shoes on the upper shelves. Also worth noting: there’s only one sink shared by the toilets.

The owner is really Great and so helpful with Information about Trekking etc.

Safar and his family are doing a great job. Good location, all the facilities a travel may need (Laundry, kitchen, ac rooms, renting tents, etc.), super clean place... and also they Will reply all your questions about visiting the área... And very nice price. What else?

Great location in Panjakent, and the staff was great in explaining us what the options were to hike around. There is also a garden to hang out which is great. All for a reasonable price.

AC in the room wasn’t the most efficient.

The owner was very helpful ..

Fabulous little hostel right in the centre of Panjakent. We managed to organise our OVIR/GBAO registration, money and sim cards before moving on to the mountains. The staff go above and beyond to help you and great place to meet other travellers. Recommend walking up to the ruins over sunset.

Basic little hostel but everything was clean, the staff are friendly and very helpful, and there's a nice outdoor gazebo area to chill and chat with other travellers. Zafar and his daughter were very helpful in answering everybody's questions, and they're very responsive on WhatsApp. It's the perfect spot to regroup before/after hiking in the mountains, or wherever else your travels are headed.
