Вавилон in Cholpon-Ata

Good

A quiet and cozy recreation area with luxurious landscaping. Babylon stands out from the crowd with its greenery and well-kept environment. Evening gatherings on the room's terrace are very atmospheric and intimate.
Rooms - somehow, for two years in a row, I've been given good rooms, with decent furniture and bathroom fixtures. I don't know, maybe the guests who left previous reviews were just unlucky?
As for the cuisine, compared to last year, the portions are larger and the food is tastier.
There are numerous cafes within a 5-10-minute walk. There are halal places for "lunch" and places for "eat-drink-sing-and-hang out." Something for every taste, as they say.
I want to thank Natalia very much for organizing our vacation and for her comprehensive support with all my questions and requests.
I really hope to return here next summer!
And for a longer stay!

Were on July 29-31, 2022, in general, the impressions are good: the location is convenient, the air is clean and cool. The boarding house itself is small, literally 8-9 small houses, which combine with the comfort and well-groomed territory; but as soon as you leave the entrance gate, the feeling of comfort is replaced by the consequences of the apocalypse or the fall of a meteorite.
Meals, although not restaurant, but a choice is possible, and a menu is prepared in advance from the list.
Natasha (administrator) knows everything, always tries to help; it is also possible to learn from her how to go on excursions; there is a price list nearby (1500-3000 soms per person, depending on the direction and comfort of transport). WiFi, though paid (100 soms for 1 device), but for the entire stay. Registration can be done by Natasha (she collects passports and takes them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for a period of several days), it costs about 500 soms per person.
The rooms are spacious (if ours is an example), although not renovated, but normal (there is a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a TV, a sofa, a bed + a terrace with a table / chairs, a hairdryer in the bathroom, even a beach cover); although there were numbers where something broke or broke, but Natasha decided. If you don’t spoil or break anything in the rooms (the room was rented out according to the maid’s list), then everything is easy and without problems.
The main disadvantage: guests-neighbors without complexes, who think that everyone around them either really likes their nightly drunken fun, or is not heard; whose conversations can be heard on the other side of Issyk-Kul.
Contact numbers are in the 2GIS directory, they are at +996 (on the network they were often wrong or not at all).

Firstly, check-in starts at 14.00. Therefore, if you arrive earlier, be prepared for the fact that you will have to wait all this time. Fortunately, they allow you to leave your luggage and you can shy away in the neighborhood. Or you need to agree in advance to be settled earlier and of course the service is paid, about 50% of the room price. Secondly, if you booked a room indirectly, then there is a chance that you will not be given what you need. Whoever travels alone, it is better to take a room with double accommodation, because a single room, although a suite, looks like a kennel, you can’t turn around. The food here is not very good, so it's better to take a room without food, but the cost of the food that you will be deducted is very small, only $ 5, and five dollars is not enough for the whole day, unless you are a inch.
Rooms inside - ala - the Soviet Union. Faucets without aerators, water bubbling, sewage does not work well, in some rooms, the walls are stained, sewer shafts are right in the living rooms, so you can hear how the water drains.
Territory, well-groomed, green, many trees and flowers. For this you can put a five.
Administrator Natalia will meet you with all her cordiality and help resolve any issues related to accommodation.
Rooms are cleaned every other day, linen is changed every three days, garbage is taken from the toilet every day.
TVs are very small, there are few channels, in some rooms they do not work at all.
In general, a quiet boarding house for families, but my rating of 4 is a stretch, although there are boarding houses even worse at the same price.

Responsive administration, Sooo polite staff, good service. There are a number of minor flaws that are trying to eliminate almost immediately. Cozy mini hotel. I would like to diversify the food with seasonal vegetables and fruits. In general, a quiet cozy corner for those who do not need publicity ...
