Questions
Booking and payment
How do rates and payment work?
Rates depend on the room, the season and how long you stay; when we reply, we'll give you the rate for your dates. You can pay by Iranian bank card or bank transfer, or the equivalent in US dollars or euros. Nothing is paid through this website.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel or change your dates free of charge up to 7 days before you arrive. After that we keep the first night's deposit. Deposits for March–May and October–December can't be refunded, as those months fill quickly.
Is there a minimum stay?
Only at Nowruz, when we ask for at least two nights. The rest of the year, a single night is just as welcome.
Can we bring children?
Children aged 9 and over are very welcome. The booking needs to be made by an adult (18 or over), and we ask every guest for photo ID on arrival.
Can we book the whole house?
Yes. All three rooms can be booked together for a family or a small group of friends, and quiet gatherings can be arranged. We don't host parties.
Arriving
Can you arrange a pickup?
Yes. We can book a taxi to meet you at the airport, the railway station or the bus terminal. The fare is set by the taxi company.
What if we arrive late?
Check-in is from 14:00 until 23:30, and we're not able to welcome guests after that. If you're reaching Yazd late in the day, please plan to be with us before 23:30.
Can we check in early or leave late?
Whenever the room allows. Ask us, and we'll let you know closer to the day.
At the house
What about breakfast?
Breakfast is included in the rate and served every morning from 8:00 to 11:30. If you're vegetarian or vegan, or avoid gluten, tell us when you book and we'll do our best.
Can we use the kitchen? What about dinner?
You're welcome to make tea and coffee whenever you like, but the kitchen isn't set up for cooking. For dinner, food delivery works well, and we're happy to recommend places nearby.
Do the rooms have heating, cooling and Wi-Fi?
Yes. Every room has air conditioning for the summer and a radiator for the winter, and there's Wi-Fi in the house.
Can we have laundry done?
Yes, our housekeeper will wash your clothes, free of charge. Just ask.
Is the house easy to get around?
Like most old Yazd houses, Lari House has steps: down from the kucheh into the courtyard, and further down to the Sardab. The Talar is the exception: you reach it from the entrance without a single step, so it's the room we suggest for anyone who finds stairs difficult. The house isn't suitable for wheelchairs.
Is the house smoke-free? Are pets allowed?
Please don't smoke in the rooms; the courtyard and the roof are yours for that. We're sorry, but we can't host pets.
Is the house safe?
Yes. There are cameras on the kucheh and the roof, a night guard next door, and a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher in the entrance hall.
Can we photograph or film at the house?
Of course, take as many photographs as you like. For a professional shoot, please write to us beforehand.
Around Yazd
Can you recommend a guide?
Yes. We can put you in touch with guides we know and trust, for the old city or the desert.
