Mehmonkhona Yazdon

Tajikistan


Colourful mattresses on a carpeted floor are offered in this small family-run guesthouse, useful for those who find onward transport elusive. The mud-floored long-drop toilet is clean but at the bottom of the garden; overlooking the river, it's a loo-with-a-view by day but inconvenient at night. The guesthouse is the last house on the left, 1km north of the Sarvoda bazaar.
