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!

It's just too hot to go out

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

Stayed in July 2025

AC in the room wasn’t the most efficient.

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.

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.

Nothing

Outstandingly run hostel. Zafar and his family make everyone very welcome, the beds are comfortable & clean, and the showers are great. There is plenty of space to hang out and connect with fellow travellers. The other point with mentioning is that Salom Hostel is green - its power comes from solar panels on the roof and Zafar is very keen on environmental sustainability. Ten out of ten for me, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Run by a lovely family, they couldn't do enough for you and very cute children. We were a couple who booked a dorm room and they put us in a private room which was so kind. Good kitchen, nice social vibe, let us store luggage overnight when we went into Fann Mountains for the Seven Lakes. Arranged transfer for us into the mountains and to the bus station when we were going to Dushanbe.

It needs to provide filtered water for drinking.

It's lively. It's a good place to meet other travelers to share our itinerary.

The shower room is a bit odd, 2 showers but only one door & not user friendly with hanging or dressing space, hot water runs out pretty quickly. Bunk Room was small & nowhere to put packs.

Comfortable bed, great kitchen, extremely kind & generous staff with knowledge of English and very helpful with local information. Only a 5-10 minute walk to main bazzar & city centre. Great outdoor table/communal area.

The property is currently being renovated which is fantastic, so no complaints here - the facilities will be ever better next time! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Zafar and his wife were so hospitable and helpful. They always had time to help us organise taxis or find our way to the mountains.
