Shaki Host House

The host was very lovely and the place was exceptionally clean with a wonderful atmosphere that truly made you feel in Azerbaijan; mosquito nets covered both windows and doors, a kitchen was available for tea with supplied cutlery and dishes, and a delicious breakfast of local products was served; you could see the mountains from the living room, sofa, and dining table; the location is about a 20‑minute walk or a 3‑4 minute drive to the Palace of Sheki Khans; towels and warm blankets are provided, which is a huge plus since most homes in Azerbaijan lack central heating; overall we felt right at home. Regarding the stay, nothing to add; the last 20 metres of the driveway to the hostel are a bit bumpy and may not suit older people or those with disabilities, but a LADA 4x4 can handle it.

“就像家里一样，夯爆了！”

The bed‑and‑breakfast is run by a couple; when I arrived the uncle was in hospital, so the aunt handled everything, spoke English, was friendly, enthusiastic, and chatty, invited me for tea and offered sweets; breakfast was free, lunch and dinner cost 8 manat each, and she varied the meals so I never ate the same thing twice, with two meals free—chicken or egg‑tomato stir‑fry and potato stir‑fry were especially tasty, and she also gave me apples and grapes; I booked two nights, and on the third day when thunder and rain hit, she let me stay another night; although it was a sofa, it was soft and comfortable, and she provided a pillow and blanket even though I had my own sleeping bag, plus she made breakfast for the third day; I loved it and felt at home. The entrance has a slope of more than 10% over about 200 metres of gravel, which was tough to push a bicycle up.

The host aunt was extremely kind and warm, prepared tea and a generous breakfast, was patient and meticulous, and made me feel welcome; she also shared her life stories, offering valuable insight into local culture for travelers far from home; I wish her and her family all the best and hope to return someday.

The host’s friendliness and the excellent breakfast were big positives, but the street leading to the house is uphill and a normal car can’t get there.
