Best guest houses in Kyrgyzstan

We could order a variety of food, and we were always happy to have a late breakfast or dinner. The grounds were beautiful and clean, with mountain views. It was a quiet, family-friendly place

The atmosphere was just as I'd always dreamed: on one side of the hotel is a forest with a lake, and on the other, a beautiful view of fields with endlessly high mountains beyond! And there's not a soul around; most people are concentrated deeper in the guesthouse area, where there's constant hustle and bustle, human noise, and the impossibility of falling asleep or sleeping in late in the morning

I recommend booking the second floor in advance, otherwise the view from the balcony will be just a wall. However, the courtyard offers a stunning view of the mountains

Thank you so much for the comfort and friendly service. And a very pleasant moment – ​​a complimentary gift from the hosts! Thank you so much, we'll be back!

A very cozy place to relax! The hosts are welcoming and caring, always ready to help. The room has everything you need, including a refrigerator

We stayed for 10 days at the Eden Guesthouse. The hosts and staff were very welcoming and friendly. The cuisine was delicious and varied

There was hot water in the shower and the room was nice and warm (visited in winter time). Staff spoke good English and were helpful and friendly at all times

New hotel with simple but clean rooms and comfortable beds. Good kitchen, washing machines and social areas (inside and out)

I liked the location, as it’s a little bit away of the center, but with a lot of services a couple minutes walk away including Vefa center with grocery store and many restaurants and money exchange offices

Not far from the centre of the city. If you want to save money getting from/to the airport take Go Bus shuttle. It stops near the hotel, it is almost as quick as a taxi but much cheaper

The staff were accommodating and let us keep our stuff for a few hours in a locked area after we checked out. Rooms are of a decent size and there was reliant air conditioning

We had a wonderful stay here. Rooms are clean. The host is very friendly and accommodating they have a big kitchen where u can cook and also washing machine for laundry.

There is a large terrace upstairs and also a beautiful garden and porch downstairs. The breakfast, prepared fresh, included fruit, salad, breads, cheeses, eggs any way you want them and various desserts

In the neighborhood were many of the old, original wooden houses, which made walking around a pleasant experience. It was quiet at night as well. We enjoyed our two-night stay here

Spent a week in Kyrgyzstan & this was our best accommodation by far. Immaculately clean, airy & well equipped. Also laundry available which was a bonus. Best breakfast including lots of fresh fruit & pancakes

This is a lovely guest house run by a wonderful couple. It is located a short distance from the cathedral and restaurants and shopping

Let me tell you about the evening we found Matsunoki. After a long day of dusty roads and altitude headaches, we just wanted a shower and a bed. What we got instead was something close to magic

Our room was small but perfect — everything in its place, crisp sheets, a window looking toward the mountains. That night I slept deeper than I had in weeks. Clean to Japanese standards, warm with Kyrgyz soul

The owner is very friendly, always there and ready to help with any request

Great host and really comfortable and clean rooms.

We had a great stay! Dimitri was a friendly and helpful host who made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, comfortable, and very reasonably priced. There was also a good parking facility, which was very convenient

The courtyard is cozy — it’s clear that the host, Dmitry, takes good care of it and puts in effort. However, the price seemed overpriced: we paid more when booking remotely than guests who arrived and booked on the spot

This verdant ambiance pleasantly sets Podsolnukhi apart from the crowd of neighboring guesthouses. The rooms are unassuming, but they are neat and cozy, and they have everything you need for a comfortable stay

We didn't notice any pushy extra services. At the same time, he readily responded to requests for help choosing a cafe, calling a taxi, and organizing a jeep tour to the Semenovskoye and Grigoryevskoye gorges

This is the best Yurt camp on tong, Very friendly Manager, Speaks good English, It felt like home there, will come again soon

Great location (close to the lake) and amazing home-cook food!! Love the open area where we can relax at night and look at stars. The owner also help us to arrange eagle hunting and horse riding im a very pretty area

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place! The family is amazing—super kind and helpful. They really went out of their way to help me get around since I didn’t have a car and was using public transport

Had a wonderful time here - just a short one-night stay, but we really enjoyed and found everything we were looking for. The yurts are comfortable and have plenty of space

I stayed in the cutest little yurt, and the best part? You’re only a 3-minute walk from a peaceful beach. The amenities are great too! There are plenty of toilets and showers, so you never have to wait

Toilets were clean and enough of them for everyone. The nearest shops and restaurants are in Bokonbayev, but the owner cooks fresh disches every day, so you can buy food there. There is a fridge to use for everyone

Stayed with friends for 3 nights. Excellent place, very friendly and nice! The food was good, and the rooms were clean

The place is good for the price. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a girl named Diana who speaks English and is very cheerful and helpful. The insects are almost non-existent, unlike many similar places.

I will definitely be back if I visit again! I stayed for 3 days and loved it! They were so kind, and the location was great because it was close to the beach. The facilities were clean, and the food was delicious

Everything was great. Service, room, service, food are all at the highest level. I recommend to everyone. You will not regret. Have a nice holiday everyone.

Very hospitable staff. Everything is clean and tidy. Come, you won't regret it

If I visit this area again, I will definitely come back!

A guest house you don't want to leave! Now this is one of my favorite places in Bishkek, definitely 👍very clean, cozy, quiet. Beautiful well-groomed area, excellent location. Nearby are shops, a pharmacy, a cafe

The owners were incredibly kind and helpful from the very beginning

July 2024 together with my sister and my mum. The hostel is one of the best ones I ever stayed at. The 4bedroom we stayed at was clean, spacious, calm. Unfortunately the bathroom has a very unpleasant smell

Not only did they organize our transport from the airport to their place, but they also arranged our transfer to Issyk-Kul lake, managing to fit our bicycles in as well! They even had the foresight to hold onto our bike boxes for us throughout our entire bikepacking trip

No disturbing party noises all night long as you might experience in other hostels. Next doors you have a nice cafe and 24/7 supermarkets. The bus to the city center takes around 20 minutes

The team is amazing! Very friendly, helpful. They made an early checkin without extra charges possible after our long overnight trip to arrive in Bishkek

Excellent guest house. Attentive staff. Quiet place. 100 m to the lake. A lagoon enclosed by stone capes. Good beach. Sun loungers and umbrellas are provided. The food is beyond praise. Had a nice time.

My vacation is only 20 days long :)) As for GH Dastan, I have nothing but the best impressions. Cozy, clean rooms, amazing staff, just 100 meters from the beach

And the beach has amazing, red, fine sand, and the water is crystal clear. In short, thanks to the staff and the administrator. I'll definitely be back next year

Very nice family, some speak good English, comfy, modern and clean rooms. 2 min from pleasant beach

The owner was really kind and welcoming, he showed us the hotel and told us how his family had built it. The food was amazing and everything was really clean and tidy! Really glad to have found this place 😍

Cozy, traditional, and peaceful. A great spot to get away and relax. The beach is very close by, and is one of my favorite spots to swim on the lake. The food was delicious and traditional

The rooms are cozy and clean, though slightly small

Really recommended but ask for more breakfast :)

Loved it . Cheap and cheerful, Relaxed vibe. Near the beach. Would come again .

A good budget accomodation, a beautiful wooden house, very close to the Issyk-kul lake. Easy to find based on the photo of the house. Bathroom in the room as well as TV

The owners are quite friendly and already became our good fellows during our stays. We fell in love with Gera (beautiful cat on the second photo that lives here and usually walks around)

I do really love this gorgeous guesthouse. We used to stay at this house every time we visit Cholpon-Ata and Issyk-Kul lake. This will be already the 4th time we live here. The house is made entirely of wood

It is solid, well-made cottage with well equipped rooms. There are individual bathrooms in each room. The bedding is enormously comfy, IDK what other reviewers mean when they say that it will break the back

I personally just literally sink in deep in the bed when I return home tired after a long walk and swimming in the lake. The summer kitchen is located outside of the main house

It is equipped with all the required kitchenware. It is both comfortable to cook your own food or bring something and eat here as well. The view from the room is just amazing

I had a wonderful stay at Altyn Oimok. The house is very big and beautiful, with very nice rooms and large, new bathrooms- the best I’ve seen in a guesthouse in Kyrgyzstan

Very nice guesthouse, clean rooms and bathroom! A good breakfast as well

Great hostel in the middle of the Town with the owner and the whole family who are super welcoming and supportive for giving tips and sharing contacts for eagle tour. All the room and the bathroom/shower are super clean

Added to this, the house also adjoins the felt/crafts workshop - recognised as one of the best in Kyrgyzstan. I couldn’t recommend this guesthouse more

There's also a lovely souvenir shop that we simply couldn't resist! It's worth highlighting that by visiting, you're directly supporting local female entrepreneurs and helping preserve an important cultural tradition

Family running the guest house were very nice and helpful! Reccomend doing the carpet making show at the back of the guest house and go to their souvenir shop they have amazing hand made things!

Very nice place in good localisation next to bus station and not far from beach. Perfect service!

+ Welcoming and helpful family + Quiet location close to the center and the beach + Very clean + Good wifi connection - No dimming curtains in the room - Cheap mattress a bit uncomfortable, as the thick pillows - No desk For the price of 1200 som per night, you can't expect more 👍

It's convenient for both coming and going to Bishkek, and you can catch the Mashtroka to Karakol from here! (There are buses from the eastern end of the city, but they also depart from here at the Central Terminal

When I was there, there was a timetable posted in front of the restroom, so check it out. ) I loved it so much that I extended my stay from two nights to six, swimming, relaxing, and visiting the hot springs

Very nice accommodation, hosts and staff are very friendly, you can book tours around Izzyk kul Lake and the mountains in that region from the guest house

It was the end of the season, and it was getting colder, but I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay! I'd love to go again when it's a little less cold

Very good value for money. Cosy hotel with comfortable rooms. High speed WiFi

It's a great place for a lakeside getaway or a weekend getaway. The hotel is located right on the beach, and we rented an apartment: it's very nicely renovated, with a kitchen and two separate bedrooms

The grounds are quiet, green, and peaceful. You can play table tennis, and there's a playground. Breakfast is conveniently available for 700 soms. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning

A wonderful guest house, quiet and peaceful. The rooms are beautiful, modern, spacious, and have everything you need. Special thanks to the owners of the complex, very nice people

The hosts live in the complex themselves and prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The beach is clean, and there are boat tours nearby. An hour-long boat ride costs 400 som for adults and 200 som for children under 10

Minor drawbacks: the internet in the room is sometimes glitchy, but it works perfectly in the cafe and outside. The courtyard with a playground is perfect. The price for a 5-bed room is $100 per night

Excellent guest house near the sea, very beautiful territory and everything is well maintained, breakfast is a bit weak, no fruits at all, not far from Golden Sands, excellent value for money

There is a market 1km away with a fairy every weekend with a big choice of fish (fresh, smoked, dried), delicious fruits and berries (cherries, strawberry, apricots), all sorts of mushrooms, mountain honey

They have very comfortable rooms with all the necessities, nice breakfasts, and a parking place. Our room had a view on the lake and mountains. The guest house is walking distance to the city beach

And they change day after day: porridge, two pancakes, cottage cheese/kaymak, or one of the types of scrambled eggs with sausages and sliced ​​cucumber-tomato, or samsa with meat (this is still not bad), and instead of bread there can be pies with potatoes

Tea from a bag, instant coffee. In general, you can live on your budget. Other minor problems: a rather noisy refrigerator, it's annoying at night, but at least it's there. When opened, the water groans like a mad cat

The shower head and hose are leaking, the sink faucet doesn't have an aerator. But there's a very beautiful orchard and a nice exterior. We took our own cherries (250 soms per kg), big and sweet

Great place! Very nice and helpful family. The place is clean and the breakfast is great! Askar speaks good english and can help in organizing your trip. We came back several times and always were happy to come back

Ascar gave us a fantastic welcome! Excellent value for money, clean, and a great breakfast thanks to Gulzat. Plus, Sona (by reservation) is a must-have! 🥵 Multi-jet shower, perfect for summer or winter after a trek

We tried a couple of rooms and both were immaculately kept. It's a family-run establishment where the mother prepares excellent breakfasts and dinners. If we were to come back, this would be our first choice

Everything is at your fingertips thanks to Ascar, who knows everything there and will give you all the information you need to make the most of the Karakol region

Ate the view was terrible although it is located near the park next to unfinished and a lot of garbage. But the hotel is very cozy, quiet area but ideally in the city center. By the way, the food wasn't very good.

Very good hotel people first chick in very friendly.

Good hotel for a shot staying.

Honestly, I'm in love with this hotel, I stayed two nights and was very peaceful and relaxed. There is no staff only the lady owned this place and she served me by herself. I recommend strongly. A lot of thanks for her.

This was an awesome place to stay in Osh - safe parking for our motorcycles, across the street from a nice park, close to restaurants. The rooms are clean and modern, with air conditioning

This has been the nicest place I have stayed at in Kyrgyzstan yet! The room was modern, loved the blackout blinds, the robe and couch! Highly recommend!

This guesthouse is difficult to find out easily. No outside signs showing the name of the place. Good room and bathroom for reasonable price. Can’t find towels as well but good there is hot water

had a lovely stay at this cozy guesthouse! the owners are incredibly helpful and nice. our hot water ran out and they unexpectedly fixed it right away. the rooms are really comfortable

Nice guesthouse. The owner is very welcoming. Provide your choice of breakfast. The only problem there is no parking. And it’s little bit pricey. I recommend it.

Lovely kind and welcoming host, nicest people possible, lovely room, calm and quiet area outside of the city, great breakfast everyday, great value for money

The Host is super nice Lady, very kind, neat and tidy rooms, everything is just perfect, very peaceful environment. You will feel Just like your own home.

And trust me it's not easy in a shivering morning in Bishkek. For any support, they are coming ahead. I need the smallest of things, they are there

My driver brought me here after a log day of sight seeing and trekking in fairytale canyon. Received a warm friendly welcome had a good nights sleep and a hearty breakfast

We were a little uncertain after reading some reviews about extra charges but I now believe that it must have been a misunderstanding, they are lovely, honest people. If you have dinner there is an extra charge

This was one of the nicest guesthouses we stayed with on your road trip. I had also left my ski jacket at this guesthouse and your host arranged to be picked up and delivered to me in the next city

Her jams are extremely yummy by the way. She is a chef and an awesome host. Her son is equally hospitable and advised us on many things here in Kyrgyzstan. Will be visiting again for sure

The southern shore of Issyk Kul is a gem unlike the northern. We stayed at Gulmira's homestay and had the most wonderful time. Everything is Organic and grown in their own backyard

The bathrooms were clean and the beds comfortable and the hostess was helpful arranging taxis and outings
