Lantern-lit terrace at Hotel Buhara Family Inn in the evening

Our story

The family behind the inn

İlyes & Adalet Bozyurt — owners, hosts, and the reason the breakfast tastes like someone made it for you.

More than a hotel

It is our home

When İlyes and Adalet Bozyurt opened the doors of the Buhara Family Inn, they had one simple intention: to share the warmth of a Turkish home with the world. Not a transaction — a genuine welcome.

Every cup of tea, every sunrise from the grapevine terrace, every homemade breakfast — these are acts of love, not hospitality scripts.

Every guest who walks through our door becomes part of our family. We do not just offer you a room — we offer you Istanbul through our eyes, our kitchen, and our heart.
