- Kazım Tolga (10/5): - Her şey muhteşemdi Sevmediğim hiçbir şey yok
- Princes Joy (10/5): Excellent, i will stay there again when i come back to sheki - Very nice people, the rooms are clean, free use of kitchen, the view is amazing, and it is near to tourists spots the way going up because the road is elevated going to the house but there is a good view along the way where you can take photo and rest little
- Guest (10/5): -
- 晋驿 Jinyi (10/5): - 房东特别的友好,几乎是有求必应。房间很大,也很干净。夏天晚上非常的凉快。

- Chun (9/5): Superb - 🤍large room
🤍nice view No air conditioner:( (but they have fan)
- Fernando (9/5): - Es un hostal familiar muy tranquilo en el centro de Sheki, a un paso de los principales monumentos. Tranquilidad absoluta y buen trato. Estupenda relación calidad-precio.
- Elisabeth (8/5): Very good -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - A really lovely family, great location (yes up a steep hill but well worth being that close to the old town), good facilities, there is even a little kettle and fridge which was great
- Sven (9/5): Superb - Good location close to main sights, but getting there involves a walk up a steep hill (and not all taxis might bring you up).
- Maria (9/5): Great value for money - nice for people that like to buy and prepare their own food - Really good value for money: lots of space with high ceilings, central location yet tucked away in a quiet corner, really nice kitchen/dining area where you can eat breakfast and just chat (with a fridge, stovetop, plates and cutlery etc), good WiFi and accommodating hosts!
We ended up extending our stay here since we liked the location and kitchen so much:) Only minus is the poor sound insulation: you can practically hear everything from neighboring guests as well as the host through the walls, so if you don’t have the same sleep schedule you may want to bring something for noice cancellation. Would still stay again despite this though, since everything else was great!
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ehsan (5/5): Passable -
- Yahia (10/5): Many thanks for such great hospitality - it was an excellent experience, Location is central just 10 minutes walking to most attraction points and the surrounding area is very calm, safe and greeny. the room is clean, warm and wide the whole house is very besutiful much prettier than shown photos. and Mr. Elham and his family they are very good and cooperative persons they helped me alot, and offered too many facilities. much appreciated their honest and warm hospitality and highly recommended. Nothing.
- Aleš (9/5): Superb - The place was nice and really clean. The room was spacious and the internet worked find, so I could work. It's fairly close to the upper caravanserai in a quite location. The room was really cold but luckily the blanket helped at night.
- Allan (9/5): Superb - If you're looking for a peaceful getaway
Ilham Mustafa Homestay is the great choice. With great location near Khan Palace, a peaceful garden, spacious, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast and a welcoming atmosphere, this place truly feels like a home away from home.
Ilham and his wife speak English and they are helpful and caring, will do everything to make sure their guests enjoy Sheki and their lovely historic place.
Highly recommended!
- Miow (10/5): Exceptional - Good location with very clean and quiet homestay. Very closed to the tourist attraction places. The host is very kind and able to answer your questions. Highly recommended!
- Shahzad (10/5): Highly Recomended - Room / Location / Clean : all good (NO Attached Toilet / Bath)
- Maksim (7/5): Good -
- Katherine (10/5): Cozy, spacious, bright, welcoming - Ilham is a fantastic host. The space is beautiful and bright. Tall ceilings in the house. The kitchen is cozy and heated by a stove. We stayed in the winter and it was idyllic. Short walk to the main street. Well stocked kitchen. Ilham made sure we felt welcomed. It was a highlight of our trip.
- Praneeth (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place
- Salma (10/5): Very lovely hosting family . Felt like home. Super clean - Clean
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Najaf (9/5): Superb -
- Normunds (8/5): Very good - Charmy, cool room, access to kitchen, calm, close to the old town.
- Alessandra (10/5): Perfect stay in Sheki - It’s a lovely family house with very kind guests. It’s exactly in the historical center. Very quiet. All good
- François (8/5): Very good -
- Jesper (10/5): Exceptional - Good location in the old town of Sheki, friendly host, everything was clean and the facilities were good, really good price
- Sarah (8/5): Good choice - The family who run the guest house are extremely friendly and helpful, spekaing both English and Russian. They even booked me a taxi for an early cheak out. The rooms are below their house and are surprisingly cool, making for a good night's sleep in the high temperatures of Sheki. There is both a kettle and fridge beside the rooms, and also a full external kitchen that we had access to. It was nice to sit in their garden in the evening. It's a bit of a hoof up the cobbled streets if you're tired and hot.
- Matthew (9/5): Superb -
- Saravanan (10/5): Value for money and in a great location - The hotel house is in the center of Shekhi and near to many attractions such as caravanserai, summer palace etc. There are many decent restaurants nearby. It is also reasonably spacious. The host was very helpful and kind. The hotel is a good value for money. The place has also good kitchen and a dining place. They also have laundry services. Nothing much. My friends and I loved it - but wanted to mention couple of minor caveats. First, the restroom is shared. Second, the room has a heater but not AC - so it might an issue if the weather is too hot. Of course, they do have a fan so it is not a major issue.
- Joanne (8/5): Quiet, secure and pleasant place to stay - Very safe and a great location in the old town but close to all attractions. Comfortable bed and clean room
- K.f. (9/5): Superb - The owners were very polite and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. It felt like they could read our minds! The main road is just a 5-minute walk away, and the Caravanserai, Shekhi Palace, and Silk Factory are all within walking distance from the property. I really enjoyed the rustic look of the room. Clean bathroom and a kitchen with required amenities. The walk up to the property from the main road is quite steep. The last stretch of the lane leading to the property is not accessible by vehicle, so be mindful if you're lugging around heavy bags. The road conditions could potentially damage trolley bags, so proceed with caution.
- Sunil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manish (6/5): Decent place in the old town - Family run guesthouse in the old town. 3 bedrooms share 1 bathroom . All rooms have windows that look into the hallway. Good value for the price. No natural light in room so it stays cold even when it's boiling hot outside(good in summer but cold at night/in winter.
Family live upstairs and you can hear them.
- Ananda (5/5): Passable - English speaking staff
- Nur (10/5): Exceptional -
- Radetic (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel is very well located, near all sites and different buses lead to centre of the new town and 17 to Bus station. Ilham and his wife are serious, very pleasant hosts. I highly recommend you this hostel.
- Ahsan (8/5): Very good -
- Bilal (6/5): Good but cold - The host was freindly. The location is just next te the old town. The room was big and clean. They had some small beautifull kittens in the Court yard. The bed was really good. This rating is 6 and not 10 only because it was extremely cold in the room. The temperature is an essential element of booking a hotel. I could not find any heater and the blankets weren't enough. I therefore slep in a hoodie.
- Zahia (9/5): Great 😊 - The property is very clean, the hosts are amazing. They provided us with what we needed for our stay and are very easy going.
They have a really nice kitchen with a nice view where you can cook your own breakfast.
Their beautiful little kittens made our stay even more beautiful 😊
- Vish6 (8/5): A quiet place in a great location! - The room was spacious and quiet. Most of the attractions and shopping were near by. There was no heater in the room
- Jv (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. The room is comfortable, the bathroom is very clean and the kitchen is well equipped.
- Veryitchyfeet (10/5): A great place which feels like home and is centrally located in the old town - This place was so great, that we extended our stay, and made another booking! This allows me to reiterate how much we loved Ilham's place. Great hosts! Great area! Great kitchen! Two blocks from the infamous Caravanserai and only minutes away from the local buses. Again, highly, highly recommended. We loved this place!
- Veryitchyfeet (10/5): Perfect location, comfortable rooms and excellent hosts - Ilham's place is clean, comfortable and central to the historical centre. He and his wife are super helpful and friendly people who are always willing to give advice and answer any questions you may have. The kitchen has everything you need if you like to cook and the rooms are large with comfortable beds. Central, but tucked away into a spot which makes it calm, peaceful and quiet at night. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting to Sheki. Thank you immensely, we will remember you all fondly. Maybe a few pictures of the street and the outside of the building would help. We found that the Bookings map took us extremely close by but was not exact. Just around the corner from where we first went, we found it soon enough though.
- Rajiv (10/5): Nice and cosy place near old town - The place is very nice and cozy.It’s a very old building from 19th century ,if I am not wrong and the owner’s great grandfather bought it from someone else.So it’s very old but heavily renovated and equipped with all the modern amenities.
I really liked their kitchen though it was bit far away from my room and the bathroom was sparkling clean.
The owner Mr.Ilham is a very nice and friendly person who loves sharing the story of this property.He speaks little English and good Russian.
I really like the cosy and quite vibes of this property.
One of the USP of this place is , it is 5 min walk from the Hotel Karavansarai and Sheki castle. It’s in the old town where most of the attractions are. There was only one washroom + toilet in my part of the building where there was 3 rooms having numerous sharing beds so it might be problematic when this place will be completely occupied but I did not face any problem as it was not full.
I booked this place because of the functional kitchen but when I asked at first they said that it’s only for the private room but when I said that I booked looking at this amenities, the land lady present there was accommodating and she let me use the kitchen.
Rest everything was good.
- Judy (9/5): Superb -
- Yani (10/5): Comfortable, convenient and clean, budget friendly accomodation. - Room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. Location was convenient - just a few minutes walk to old town attractions. Hosts were helpful with organising taxi to bus station.

- Vendelin (10/5): Cool room with no ac - We loved the cozy, cool room. We also enjoyed having access to the atrium where we sat at night and looked at the stars. Only possible to pay in cash
- Benyou (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matty (10/5): Great hosts, good location. Traditional, historic building at a bargain price. - Ilham and his wife were very friendly and helpful even arranging marshrutka tickets to the border as well as lift in his car with heavy bags to bus station :) really liked the traditional building and features. Nice mountain view from the building and good little dining room/kitchen.
The whole place was always spotless especially bathroom (real toilet after too many squat toilets was a bonus!!)
Good location, easy to reach Old Sheki Town and tourist attrections. Bus stops close by. Only 1 ring on the hob working in the kitchen when we were there, could also do with a few more pots and pans, otherwise we have no complaints :D
- Mostafa (10/5): Exceptional - All things is so awesome and mr.Ilham is a kind man you feel like he is your father ❤
