Our experience with this Homestay was not good. First of all, the information on Homestay website was incorrect, including the address. We had to call 3 times for the correct address, which was some streets away from the address we were given. After arriving, we were given the wrong room, later we were charged for breakfast, which should be included according to the information online. When we were leaving, we were told that they even served 3 types of breakfast with different prices, but in the morning we weren't asked about what breakfast we wanted. The information given at the reception is lacking, we got better information about restaurants and transportation etc from fellow guests. The room was infested with bugs and the toilet/shower has no ventilation so it becomes a sauna during use. A lot of attention has been paid to the garden, but cobblestones and gravel make it very difficult to navigate with suitcases. Wifi is only available in the reception area. Communication was also difficult because of poor English of the staff and at checkout, nobody knew how much we should pay. We had to show them the Homestay website for information. All in all, the price is too much for the service and the room. The hotel in the city center next to the shrine costs around €27 with much better rooms and breakfast included. Unfortunately, we found this out later.

We stayed in Shiraz for 3 nights. Unfortunately, Samira was working out of town. Samira's mother and sister prepared breakfast for us. The house has some drawbacks. It is located far from the city center, you have to take a bus or taxi to reach it. The toilet and shower are located outside the apartment in the hallway. Unfortunately, the bedsheets were not clean and the food we put in the fridge was taken, maybe by mistake. On our last day we met Samira and she gave us some good tips for Persepolis. Since she is a certified tourist guide, she has good inside information. Samira stayed up late for us in the evening, making sure we arrived back safe.

We stayed one night in Khorram Garden and we had a pleasant stay. The old building is beautiful and in the process of renovation. We were given the option for different rooms, since the house didn't host any other guests. Breakfast was good, there is a kitchen available and the garden is a delight in the middle of the city. However, we have some remarks. Instead of Armin, we were hosted by Farhad. When we returned from the city the door was locked and we had to wait for half an hour before somebody came to open it for us. Please make sure the contact details are correct for future guests. Recommended!

We stayed with Unique and Ebrahim for one night. When we arrived, we were picked up from the bus station and the next day we were brought to the train station. Ebrahim, who is educated in tourism, helped us to buy the train ticket to Kerman. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood and the room with private bathroom is on the top floor of the house. We had breakfast with the family and other guests which was very nice. Totally recommended!

We enjoyed our stay with Alireza and his family very much. He came to pick us up from the bus station very early in the morning. He offered us a card to use public transport within the city, which was very convenient. Unfortunately Alireza had to leave after one day, but his mother and sister took very good care of us. The house and the bedsheets were very clean (a relief after our experiences in some other Homestays)... Alireza is fun and easygoing to be with, he is very helpful and has good suggestions for coffeeshops, restaurants, but also for a trip to Varzaneh. Totally recommended!
