The host is kind and generous. Very attentive to our needs. Stocking up energy through the food that was served via free breakfast is a plus factor since we have an all day tour. I can't get enough of their homemade jam, and their house blend tea. Experiencing the Kyrgz way of breakfast is a must try. The bed room and rest room are clean and well maintained. All in all, the hospitality of the host made our trip more memorable.

Beautiful family. Cozy and clean home with a wonderful vibe. Well equipped washroom. Will go next time also. Shout out to Bek , great guy! Decent location.

I opted for this establishment based on my late-flight arrival and its position slightly further away from the main hub of the city. The property has a nice exterior/interior and seemed like a nice family home. It is, however, a fully-functioning family abode, so expect children and work/school routines to be present. The room was nice, and the bed was comfortable. There wasn't a wardrobe, or anywhere to hang clothes though 🤔. In conclusion, I would say that this homestay is for very particular clientele - i.e. people who might think (as I did) that it would be beneficial to choose somewhere a little closer to the airport/bus station, when realistically, Bishkek is small enough for this not to be an issue. For the price paid and the minimal breakfast - there are a multitude of more advantageous accommodation options elsewhere - so I wouldn't necessarily recommend Kurak Homestay unless you have specific location needs. The owner, though busy, was pleasant and spoke English well. 🙏👍

The owner is very nice, helps with all questions and gives tips for the rest of the vacation. Are already the second time here. He even let us in the house even though he wasn't there himself. He speaks Russian and very good English. This is a good way to establish contact.

We stayed with this lovely Kyrgyz family for two nights. We really liked this accommodation. The room was clean and spacious :) the room also had air conditioning. They were really nice and helpful :) I definitely recommend this place to stay!

What a good time we had here at Kurak Homestay. We did a cooking class where we learned how to cook local, kyrgiz food...and it was delicious! Another experience was creating whool carpet, which they also offer here in the Homestay. Besides this it was a really familiar feeling with the 4 little girls. Thank you for this amazing time!
I would recommend this place to everyone who is looking for an authentic experience in Kyrgistan.
