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 rooms in this resort are so warm and cozy. It is a good place to rest with nature. The beds in the room are so comfortable.

Beautiful property at a beautiful location, just down the mountains and pine trees. The route is off-road, and you would need a 4x4 esp if there was rain prior to ur trip. The rooms are decent, but very small. They have A line rooms, Yurts and normal rooms too. Yurts do not have private bathroom i guess ( not sure though). The food was good. There is a stream next to the property and you can take a...

This place is just the best. The host is super cooperative and very kind. Horseback trip to waterfall - mesmerizing. Food served in this place is various and delicious! House jn which we’ve stayed - clean and cozy. And there are two fantastic dogs! Absolutely recommended ❤️

We had a great stay at Zhyluu Suu Resort. We were warmly received and could stay in the A-Frame. The best bed and shower we have had so far in Kyrgyzstan. We enjoyed the food and the quiet surroundings. Highly recommended!

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.

Nice place for hot springs bath

A great location, set back from the road. A thermal spa is nearby. Clean rooms. Good internet. If it's cold (we had +6 degrees and wind at night), you can turn on the heated floors or ask for a radiator. Thank you.

Nice and cozy place. Excellent but little pricey rooms. Shared kitchen (should update multicooker). Pool. Fenced area with cameras. 15 min to the beach. 7-15 min to shops and restaurants. Special thanks to Galina and Begemay.

Excellent rooms and facilities with very affordable prices 👍 Very clean and newly built, in summary great value for money .. 10 minute walk from the beach and other attractions/markets in the city center.

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...

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...

A wonderful, welcoming, and cozy home. The rooms are very clean, the hostess Elena is a warm person, the breakfasts are delicious and healthy, and Natalia's garden deserves special praise—so much work and care has gone into this place. Thank you for your hospitality. We will definitely be back.

I visited this guesthouse in mid-Oct, unfortunately it is closed off season.

The guesthouse's name truly lives up to its name! The rooms are cozy and the interior is beautiful. I'd like to thank the hostess, Elena, for her hospitality and the warm, magical atmosphere she's created here!

A great place for a family vacation, and not only that, the rooms are very clean, the bedding is good, and it's cozy. The grounds are beautiful and green, with gazebos. The breakfast was fantastic. I loved everything and want to come back.

Host is amazing facilities are in great shape. Just bring your Russian translator English is not spoken by staff.

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!

Super hosts with a great breakfast! And very comfortable beds

Lovely guest house 10 mins from the centre of Karakol. Friendly hosts and comfortable, spacious rooms. I will stay again next time I am in Kyrgyzstan.

Really nice place to stay. Hosts don't speak aby English but they provided a really nice breakfast and afternoon tea. Bit of a walk to the centre but not too much.

Spent a few days here. Owner was lovely and very helpful. My room was very clean and pretty comfortable.

A very nice guesthouse with friendly owners. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Dedicated toilets outside the room. Good value, although a bit far away from the center.

One of the best Places we stayed in Kyrgyzstan. Friendly family, clean room and facilities, perfect parking spot.

Confortable peaceful guesthouse +Absolute silent neighborhood, you'll sleep well +Comfy clean beds +Clean surroundings +Friendly housekeeper -a bit away from the center, however with a 102 number minivan easily reachable (5soms bus ticket) -shared toilet with poor water pressure

Lovely host, helped us arrange a guide and taxi to Ala kul. They understand English and German. Remember to ask if you can shower during the day, the boiler needs some warming up time.

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

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. Pretty warm on a cool autumn night, but there were (very effective) heaters included in case it got too cold. There were a couple of showers and toilets available for everyone, and they were clean, well-kept and had warm water....

We stayed there 2 nights. Good value for the price. Yurt was super cozy. Toilets were clean and enough of them for everyone. Staff was nice. You can not use the kitchen. 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. 7 minutes walk to the official beach (but I recommend to walk on the...

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. 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...

I spent three wonderful nights at the yurt camp and am happy to give a full 5 stars! From the moment I made my inquiry until the end of my stay, I felt well taken care of. The manager supported me with everything. From booking to answering all my questions, and even arranging a taxi for my onward journey. I was especially grateful that she offered me a discount on the accommodation. The yurts are...

Cool yurts in a closed area on the lake. Wonderful friendly and attentive hosts. There are also delicious homemade breakfasts here.
