Qeshm

With Aref, my vacation in Queshm was successful. Aref came to pick me up at the port. He explained to me everything that is possible to do on the island. I visited some places with him (salt cave, Chahkooh Canyon..) and others by myself thanks to his information ("Valley of the statues" and Hormuz island). And we spent a convivial night at the top of a beautiful hill in the desert.
Everything was easy. He drove me everywhere and booked my flight to Tehran. So if Aref's accommodation is available, don't hesitate !

Aref and his family are amazing hosts. They are really nice and welcoming people. The room and the house are super clean and the breakfast is delicious.
Moreover Aref is an very great guide, he arranged our entire trip, and show us all we can see on qeshm island.
I definitly recommend Aref and his family.

Aref et sa famille sont des hôtes géniaux. Ils sont très gentils et très accueillants. La chambre et l'appartement sont super propres et le petit déjeuner est délicieux.
Aref est aussi un guide extraordinaire, il a planifié tout notre séjour et nous a montré tout ce qu'il y avait à voir sur l'île de Qeshm.
Je recommande fortement Aref et sa famille.

We stayed for 3 nights at Aref Homestay in the hot month of June and had a great time. Aref has 2 rooms inside his house and a traditional room with private bathroom just outside all tidy and clean. We took a room inside and the AC was doing his job perfectly. A good breakfast was every morning served in the living room. Because Aref is born on the island he knows the island so besides the well known Geo-sides he also showed us some nice local spots like a shipyard, beach (swimming!) and places for lunch and diner. We did 2 days Qeshm and 1 day Hormuz and we certainly needed the time.
Aref is a good guide, speaks English well, drives safe and besides this all is a nice person to spend your days on the island. Aref will arrange anything to fullfill your wishes! Thanks again Aref!

It was a pleasure being hosted by Aref and Shirin.

We were warmly welcomed into their home and enjoyed an authentic experience of life in Qeshm.
In terms of the accommodations, the apartment is very spacious, clean and very well situated.
With the island being so vaste, it was great to have Aref as a guide to drive us to hidden spots like the Camel Beach, the impressive Salt Cave and Canyons, and other attractions such as Crocodile Farm and Hormuz Island.
Aref also took us to great traditional restaurants where we discovered local dishes of exotic meats and seafood.

As a host, they went above and beyond when they invited us to meet their parents’ and friends to celebrate Nowruz (Persian New Year) where we got to partake in the festivities and dinners like we were a part of their family. It was an unforgettable experience for which we were very grateful !
Overall it was an amazing stay (but felt way too short and wish to return soon).

We would definitely stay at their home again and highly recommend them to any guests visiting the beautiful island of Qeshm!!

It was an amazing experience to stay at Aref's home. I stayed at his place for 3 days and I had great time with his wonderful family. He's very friendly and knowledgeable about Qeshm island. He is not only the host and but also the great guide to explore the region.
I highly recommended his place for anyone who is looking for chances to interact with local people and know more about Qeshm culture & history. Aref is the exact guy you need to reach out for that.
