Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva accommodation 2-3 months ahead for April-May and September-October peak seasons—best properties sell out
Family-run guesthouses in Bukhara and Samarkand old towns include breakfast and are often cheaper than equivalent hotels with more atmosphere
Staying inside Khiva's Itchan Kala walls is magical but book early as only a handful of small guesthouses exist within the fortress
Check whether hotels handle tourist registration (most do automatically)—unofficial accommodation requires you to register at OVIR within 3 days
Many boutique guesthouses in Bukhara don't appear on Booking.com; search Tripadvisor and contact directly for better rates
High-speed train (Afrosiyob) between cities means you can base yourself in Tashkent and day-trip to Samarkand, but staying in Bukhara and Khiva old towns overnight is highly recommended for atmosphere
