Guest Houses in Issyk-Kul Region

We were in Kyrgyzstan for the first time. We arrived late in the evening without booking in advance. Nargiza, the owner of the Eden resort, was very helpful, providing us with a comfortable room at a reasonable price. We ate only on the Eden property, and the food was delicious and varied. The lake is no more than a five-minute walk from the resort. Based on our experience at Lake Issyk-Kul, we recommend...

We stayed for 10 days at the Eden Guesthouse. The hosts and staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms matched the photos. The cuisine was delicious and varied. 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. A 5-minute walk to the beach. It was a quiet, family-friendly place. Thank you...

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. 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.

I never expected to be able to book a guesthouse remotely, based solely on reviews, and be so happy I found myself here, in Eden! We contacted the hostess via WhatsApp, made a reservation, and paid a deposit (it was all very simple and took just a few minutes). We shared a room for two families, four rooms: two for adults and two for children. The atmosphere was just as I'd always dreamed: on one...

I thank Nargiza (the hotel owner) for her hospitality. This is our second year staying at Eden. There are cafes nearby to suit all tastes and prices. The beach is nearby. This year, we stayed from July 9th to July 13th. The water was warm, and the weather was great. The rooms were clean. The toilet and shower were clean. You can use an iron if you wish. The water pressure is good, and there's hot and...

Great host and really comfortable and clean rooms.

Mixed impressions overall. 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. We recommend confirming the rate upon check-in. The rooms are simple and homey, with hot water, a refrigerator, and basic kitchenware. Overall, the cost...

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. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cholpon-Ata!

This Hotel is very, very clean lodge where one can find a heavenly beautiful garden. The master is a man diligent and who has a special kindness! If I shall come again at Cholfon-Ata, I will come back to this house without any hesitation. Altissimo~

The Podsolnukhi Guesthouse boasts green, well-maintained grounds with trees, flowers, and shrubs, among which are pergolas adorned with climbing plants, benches, and swings. 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. A table and chairs...

Absolutely assess the quality of housing is hardly possible, only in conjunction with its cost. Since I got here in a certain historical period, the hype for living in the resort village of Cholpon Ata was completely anomalous for this time of year. A direct consequence was inflated housing prices. People are making money. Nothing special. Two friends and I got the second floor of a small house, where...

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.

Very warm, hospitable staff, quiet and cozy.

Stayed with friends for 3 nights. Excellent place, very friendly and nice! The food was good, and the rooms were clean. 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. If I visit this area again, I will definitely come back!

Friendly staff, clean, quiet place to stay

Quiet. Cosy. We had a wonderful time... Thank you.

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.

Near the beach, clean, cozy. Quiet, for families with children.

The rooms are not bad in general. Probably worth the money. But there are few shelves for small items, or rather none at all. And the sockets for charging the phone are installed very high.

Low price, very friendly staff. Very near to beach

Excellent trip all-round. The hotel is clean, central (2 minutes from the beach) and well-managed. Everyone was friendly and everything went smoothly. The room was newly furnished with a balcony, fridge, wardrobe and coffee table/stools & kettle. A+ for comfort & service. Will return 👍🎆

It is so beutiful and nice place Beutiful picnic point

This is a lovely guest house run by a wonderful couple. It is located a short distance from the cathedral and restaurants and shopping. Our room was comfortable, and we loved the fact that the hosts are environmentally friendly, providing recycling bins and refillable soaps and shampoo. There is a large terrace upstairs and also a beautiful garden and porch downstairs. The wi-fi worked well. The breakfast...

Good location in town. Phantastic atmosphere by architecture, furniture, light. Comfortable space to meet, relax, enjoy tea and coffee. Rooms with good light, comfortable beds, perfect temperature of room, elegant design of interior/furniture, very clean and practcal bathroom. In summary a guesthouse, we were enthusiastic to stay and enjoy hospitality, consciousness of sustainability.

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. The gate opened to a garden that smelled of pine and flowers. Inside — polished wood everywhere, soft lighting, the quiet clink of teacups. The family who own it (a beautiful Kyrgyz-Japanese blend) welcomed...

Beautiful Japanese style guest house in a great location. The owner cooks a fabulous omelette at the wonderful breakfast. It is spotlessly clean and very well-appointed with comfortable beds and a real homely feel underpinned by the excellent, friendly and personal service

Love Matsunoki for the great breakfast, quiet rooms and hospitable staff. The location of the guest house is another great thing. There is a park, central square, local sites and restaurants. Attention to the detail is tuned to the maximum which one can see from the recycling boxes, different types of tea in the hall available 24 hours, carefully folded towels and etc.

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

There's one big downside. 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.

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.

This family run guesthouse is really good! Despite the initial difficulty in finding the place (no signs whatsoever), the rest of our stay was nice. The view of autumn leaves from our balcony was very beautiful. While it was fun talking with the parents (with limited English), their son was very helpful with translations of everything. They even gave us some contacts for our onwards trips. The plentiful...

Really friendly and comfortable guesthouse with a great breakfast.

Really cute and sweet guest house run by a family. The son speaks great English. Location is great as it’s located

Stayed here in the second week of February. The guys could speak English. The rooms were very clean and breakfast was served fresh. They also served us with fresh apples grown in their garden.

Amazing guesthouse! Owners are incredibly friendly and have helpful advice and contacts for activities in Cholpon Ata. Rooms are clean, come with mini fridge, tv, a/c and heat up can control. Guesthouse is located right next to a park leading to lake Issykul. You can get to the rest of the village very easily -- and owners are happy to help!

Zaton Guesthouse is very quiet, on the very edge of Cholpon-Ata. Parking was possible near the guesthouse. Next to Zaton is the entrance to a beautiful park near the lake. The main street with shops/restaurants is about a 15 minute walk away. We had a room (nr. 4) with a balcony (with bench). Neat clean room, twin beds, airco, with separate bathroom. Good Wi-Fi. Some English was spoken by a younger...

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

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

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. Loved every minute here.

Really recommended but ask for more breakfast :)

I've been there with friends several times, it's very clean and comfortable, convenient location, I recommend it to everyone

We've been here twice with my family. It's a beautiful, clean, and cozy place. We plan to come back again.

Great hotel, great customer service

Salam is well located between the racetrack and the lake all close by

Everything is perfect! Comfortable! Delicious cuisine! Great view from the window! Very quiet and cozy !!! Polite staff! Excellent location. We will definitely come back! Thank you😘

Nice staff, clean rooms, delicious food. The lake is about 10 minutes walk. We were very satisfied. Thank you so much!! We will come again!

Top Service. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly family. Perfect. We will com back.

Real basic accommodation, everything is real old but okay clean. No bad smells. Location is conveniently in the center close to the beautiful beach. Good price!

My experience at the Family Guest House in Cholpon Ata was a mix of positives and negatives. Unfortunately, the room had a noticeable odor and was cramped in size. Additionally, despite the air conditioning, the room remained uncomfortably warm. The bathroom facilities, particularly the shower, left much to be desired in terms of comfort and cleanliness. While the room lacked various amenities and...

The location is perfect and around 5-10 min to center, the host and the staffs are outstanding, they do have attached and non attached bathroom rooms. Breakfast was amazing and the prices are very reasonable. They can arrange day trips, horse rides with reasonable prices as well

This place is typical countryside guest house with green garden, main house with the dining area inside and "summer" rooms called "budget" on Booking. We stayed in one of the 3 budget rooms with shared bathroom, but actually there are toilet and water inside each unit. Just real shower with hot water is outside. There are place to make a tea. The breakfast is fabulous, the best! You can easily walk...

Had a great stay for affordeable price. The hosts are also lovely and very accommodating. 5 mins walk from the beach.

Small rooms and the sheets and bed covers were a bit smelly. There were 3 beds in a small room and the bathroom was small too but the service and the room all made of wood was nice.

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. Towels included. No kettle, no cups or other basic dishes, basically no kitchen, only a fridge available in shared part of the house.

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...

Great host and service, good rooms. Wish it were on the southern side of Issyk-Kul.

Responsive and attentive owner, provides dishes and kitchen utensils, can take you where you need, if not far, there is wifi, the house is located 500 m from the lake, I recommend

A very nice place. Welcoming, benevolent and intelligent hosts. We are always ready to help. The prices are very, very reasonable. With a large number of guest houses nearby, it is Ak-Shoola that is in demand. Rooms for 2 and 3 persons, there is a kitchen for cooking, appropriate utensils. It is 10-15 minutes to the lake, there are many cafes, exchange offices, shops along the way. There are rides...

Don’t use Booking app. They will ask you to cancel. Or they will cancel you. There is bad wifi. But very cheap clean toilet. Oh don’t forget to buy a toilet paper!

Excellent guest house, very clean, close to Golden Sands beach, possibility to order food, quiet and cozy place to stay, large selection of rooms, free Wi-Fi, the ability to use the kitchen and cook your own food, the owners run a family business, cook food like at home , after the departure of the guests, the rooms are carefully cleaned, which surprised even the windows are washed! , there is parking...

Excellent place! Staff, breakfast and atmosphere gets 10 out of 10. It’s a three-star hotel, but as those go, it’s perfect.

Lovely family-run hotel with a super helpful reception. The laundry service was fast (which was great after days of trekking!), and the breakfast was amazing—one of the best we had. You’re asked to take off your shoes at the entrance, which makes sense since many guests come from the hiking. The whole place was very clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend for a comfortable stay in Karakol!

Loved our stay here. The staff are extremely accommodating, the rooms are clean, nice bathroom with consistent hot water for shower. It was very peaceful and they also provide nice breakfast. Stayed here for 2 nights, then we went to Jyrgalan valley for 1 night, and came back here again for another night. The location is also great, not too far from the good restaurants and Issyk Kul ski resort. ...

The hospitality of the receptionist is made my day, breakfast was awesome so I decide to give 5 star. A little improvement needed like providing some kettle in rooms with water, but I know if I ask they will bring it for sure. My room is so warm coz they provide super big heater. Coz I came during winter time.

We stayed at this amazing hotel for 2 nights and absolutely loved it. Staff/owners are very friendly and helped us a lot with any information we asked. Breakfast was delicious and very diverse, has everything you ask. Hotel has good vibes and very cozy. Beds were very comfortable and linen was crispy fresh and clean. Special thanks to the charming lady on the reception, she made our stay very lovely...

Most lovely staff you can imagine! Would definitely come back! The rooms are big and clean.

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

The room is compact, but has a balcony. Overall, it's cozy. The bed is a bit tight, I'm 175 cm tall - I fit in tightly, only one blanket, also small. Cleaning every 4 days, one key, you have to leave it. 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. A...

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. 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

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

Very clean and welcoming. 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. We had a wonderful time. They treated us wonderfully. If we were to come back, this would be our first choice.

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

The family welcomed us so friendly. We even got a dinner in the late evening! they helped us out with our car which had a flat tires

Our allocated room was beautiful already but for a reason we requested to change into bed spaces as it was empty, the Hosts Sultanat and husband were very accommodating and ensured everything was alright! Dinner is delicious and fresh. The best carrot salad ever…!!!! Though there was a language barrier but we managed to communicate and with happy conversation. She had explained well the food and the...

We stayed in the country for 3 months and it was our first guesthouse.. and the best ! As soon we arrived we felt like in our family. The food was amazing (Nurgul ensured that we always finished our plate even if there was a lot :). The room is very clean. Also Nurgul loved to talk. Despite we couldnt talk english together, it forced us to learn basic russian & kyrgiz (and google translate worked well...

Amazing hospitality - warm, friendly and homely feeling. The most beautiful part of the stay were the host - very welcoming and kind. Clean and neat rooms!

This brand new guesthouse is very clean and well kept. It's in a quiet neighborhood about 1.6km from the town. The family that run this place are so warm and kind! They truly treat guests like family. We had a delicious breakfast and dinner every day of our stay and Nurgul always offered us tea and biscuits when we returned from exploring. It really is wonderful place and we would definitely stay...
