Guest Reviews
- ALLA (10/5): - Authentic, cozy, clean.
- 加藤 (10/5): キシュ村で泊まるならここがおすすめです - 宿泊施設全体がとても可愛らしく、清潔で居心地がよかったです。なによりもオーナーのArzuさんがとても素敵な方でとても良くしていただきました。他、宿で関わった方全てに感謝でいっぱいです。 ありません
- Julianna (10/5): Amazing - Lovely place, great food
- Kenneth (10/5): - Very homely, nicely furnished room and great home-cooked meals. Thank you Arzu! Note that payment at the property is cash only. This is not immediately obvious from the booking.com confirmation.

- Anamika Menon (10/5): Wonderful and homely! - We loved our stay at Ruh Achari guest house. They accomodated all our requests and made our stay as comfortable as possible. It was also my husbands 30th birthday during our stay. Arzu cooked such good food, baked a cake for us and also helped with all the arrangements.
- Timur (10/5): - Красивое место, приятный интерьер, вежливые и добрые хозяева)
- Sabina (10/5): Klimatyczne miejsce z rewelacyjnym jedzeniem ☺️ - Nasz pobyt w Kis był absolutnie wyjątkowy! Miejsce jest piękne, zadbane i pełne klimatu. Jedzenie pyszne, przygotowane z sercem, a właścicielka niezwykle serdeczna i gościnna. Idealne miejsce na odpoczynek i poznanie regionu Sheki.

- katarzyna (10/5): Wspaniały pobyt! Atmosfera tego miejsca jak i sama gospodyni sprawiają , że czujesz się jak w domu. -
- hakan (9/5): - Çalışanlar ilgili ve güler yüzlü, komşu teyze çalışıyor çok iyi ve tatlı biri. Şekiye 5 km bolt ile yaklaşık 4 5 manat ücretli. Alben kilisesine çok yakın kolaylıkla taksi bulunuyor. Ücretsiz karşılama yapıyorlar ama çıkışta kendiniz gitmeniz gerekiyor. Odalar küçük ama yeterli. Tesis otantik ve görülmeye değer ve sakin. Şeki merkezde kalmaktansa tercih edilebilir.
- Anne (10/5): Südamega loodud pesake vaikuse ja rahu armastajatele - Suur aitäh Arzule meeldiva võõrustamise eest! Suurepärane interjöõr, erinevad istumispaigad hoovis, soe suhtumine oma külalistesse, kõik see tegi meie peatumise väga koduseks ja armsaks! Lihtsalt ettepanekuks - külaliste käsutuses võiks olla oma külmkapp 😉
- Olga (10/5): - Как много в жизни такого, чего нельзя выразить словами.Слишком мало на Земле слов....🤍
Прекрасный дом, в прекрасном природном месте. Торжеством искусно подобранных деталей интерьера, создаёт настоящую восточную сказку. Дом - как шкатулка ценностей...просто не налюбоваться) Аккуратные комнаты в традиционном стиле, с удобными кроватями и всем необходимым. Тут же небольшое кафе. Домашний традиционный азербайджанский завтрак и ужин были очень вкусными. Так получилось, что самая вкусная национальная домашняя еда у меня была именно здесь. Арзу - хозяйка дома со мной была на связи с момента бронирования и до моего возвращения в Баку. Организовала для меня трансфер с жд-станции Шеки...ну, а наши разговоры за чашкой кофе - это то, что я увезла с собой, как впечатление о прекрасном человеке) Место 10 из 10. Искренне рекомендую!
- Joao (10/5): Exceptional - Dinner was absolutely wonderful – delicious, generous, and clearly prepared with care. The whole property is beautifully maintained, with great attention to detail in the garden, which creates a very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The location is also excellent, offering both convenience and tranquillity. Above all, the hosts were incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel truly at home throughout our stay. If there’s one thing to mention, it’s that the price is on the higher side compared to other options in the region. That said, considering the quality of the food, the setting, and the warm hospitality, we still felt it was worth it.
- Shahla (10/5): Exceptional - I loved everything at Ruh Achari. I definitely recommend the place!
- Sebastian (10/5): Great option for a relaxing stay near Sheki! - We really enjoyed our stay at Guest House Ruh Achari. The location is serene and very relaxing, the breakfast and dinner were great and the staff was super nice. Overall, we can highly recommend staying at Guest House Ruh Achari!
- Irina (10/5): Beautiful Sheki - Beautiful traditional house. Next to beautiful mountains and not far from Sheki attractions. The most amazing breakfast and dinner. Arzu is an amazing hostess. She made us feel welcome. She was so helpful with requests I had. I would love to come back one day and stay longer. 100% recommend. Thank you Arzu for showing us Azerbaijani welcome. Love this country. Everything. The most amazing stay I had in Azerbaijan.
- Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional - Just across the albanian church in the heart of the picturesque village. You can only see walls and big doors by walking thru the narrow streets. There are no windows looking outside the house. So, you can see how they look inside if you stay in one of them, like Ruh Achari! Very friendly personnel, very clean room, tasty dinner, comfy bed. There was no sign outside the door to mark the house.
- Mitia (7/5): Nice guesthouse - Great location in the village, very nice owner despite the language barrier, nice common room where the meals are served. Cute rooms with cosy feeling. The bathroom was not great, with limited hot water. Overall value for money not great, because at that price we would expect better facilities and hot water
- George (9/5): Superb - Everything was very nice, the restored house is beautiful and welcoming. Arzu is a great lady ,always ready to help with a smile . Location in the old village of Kis is so good , I decided to stay a extra 2 nights. Loved the atmosphere of the house and village so peaceful. Thank you Nothing
- Renu (10/5): Must do in Azerbaijan - do not miss this ! - Arzu is an amazing host - the property is a haven away from the hustle bustle of Baku. I think anyone who goes to Azerbaijan should visit this property just to experience Azerbaijani hospitality. The food, the quiet, the warmth of the village is unlike anything you would have experienced. It’s the authentic experience of being in Azerbaijan. Arzu picked me from the bus station, dropped me back and we chatted the whole time I was there using translation because it was so much fun! I would I have liked it my room has been upgraded to a bigger room since I was the only guest staying in the big guest house!
- Morgan (10/5): A little nest in the beautiful village of Kish ! - The guesthouse is so cozy and well decorated, I felt directly confortable.
Arzu and her assistant were very helpful and kind, they really made it easy for me.
The village is very charming and with direct access to the mountain. I can only recommend 🙏
- Margot (10/5): A true paradise! - This is a little paradise where you can see that everything is done with great care and love. It is really quiet, the air is fresh - you can truly relax and wind down. We had dinner, tea and breakfast. Everything was homemade and super good. Arzu is a lovely host. We can really recommend the place. And if you have time, go for a walk and hike through the village. It is beautiful. You should also visit the private photo gallery Yer.
- Shubham (10/5): Exceptional - Must visit, it will make your trip 10 times better, definitely better than any hotel. Room
- Ifan (9/5): Superb -
- Vugar (10/5): Fairytale in Kish - Thank you Arzu for an unforgettable stay in your beautiful house surrounded by al your unique magical art works
We will always remember this very special place in Kish
May you be abundantly Blessed dear Arzu
- Steven (7/5): Nice staff, decent breakfast and authentic vibe. Bathroom needs to be fixed. - Decor and garden were nice. It felt cozy. No hot water the first day so I had to take a cold shower. The second day there was hot water but it didn’t last. The bathroom is one room with a built in shower that has no separation so everything gets wet. In addition, the drain is not good so the shower water leaked into the other room.
- Paulina (10/5): Perfect getaway in the mountains - This property is in a really beautiful place, in the mountains. It is a perfect getaway spot - peaceful, with unique garden and with very open and helpful host.
- Fuad (10/5): Exceptional - It was an excellent stay. The accommodations were cozy and impeccably clean, and the host was very friendly and provided excellent local recommendations. Thank you for a memorable experience!
- Rajesh (5/5): Passable -
- Pavel (10/5): Exceptional - We feel like staying at home: comfortable, quite location, nice food, rest area and wonderful owner. The village is very nice and 'authentic', with good views on a valley and in 10min drive from the center of Sheki
- Ginny (9/5): Superb - A lovely place in the village. Amazing food. The host asked me if I would like dinner and I had 2 of the best home cooked meals ever.
- Zara (10/5): Awesome hosts, beautiful place! - The dinner was delicious, cosy little cottage right opposite the Temple and such awesome host!
- Summer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sanan (10/5): Treasure in Sheki - I'd say Ruh Achari is the best option in Sheki if you're looking for peace and warm Sheki vibe. It's around 200 years old building with newly restored facilities where you'll see art and azerbaijani spirit all around which author is Mrs. Arzu, the owner. Surrounded by the Caucasus mountains and located 960m above sea level in Kish village, you'll feel the fresh air and taste local cuisine.
Thanks to Arzu that made our stay better than we expected.
- Edward (10/5): Tradition, hospitality. Genius loci. - Old, mountain village. Narrow stone street's. Small parking 50m away, small shop with food and other necessities like local wine etc.. Historical church 100 meters away from this very traditional house with small internal garden, cafe, summer kitchen... Very clean, nice rooms. Arzu is a super host. She will advice and has answer for all questions🙂. Very good breakfast.
. All was fine.
- Novruz (9/5): Superb - If you are in need for a total restart from daily work routine this is the place for you. And its not only about the facility but also about the person that set these all up. House is almost 200 years old and has been repaired with style and fashion with aim to conduct a full spiritual and mental relaxation of the attnedant. Great atomosphere, exceptional breakfast with "direct from nature" tag. Greatest views and 24/7 available and helpful personnel.
- Matin (8/5): Very good - The ambience was peaceful and relaxing. The furnishings were inadequate in the room. Not enough surface area to keep things on, and no cupboard to hang out clothes.
There was a strange smell in the bathroom.
