Guest Houses in Issyk-Kul Region

Sergei is the best host! He took really good care of us before and after the hike to Ala Kul. The breakfast is amazing and Bella is a super cute dog.

We stayed here in July. Best accomodation we had in Kyrgyzstan. Hosts are very hospitable, especially if you understand little bit of Russian/other slavic languages. The only downside are the beds, which are little bit less comfortable. The dog Bela is very friendly.

Great place to stay in Karakol! Sergei and his wife are such kind hosts. Nice and clean room with hot shower and a great breakfast. Sergei helped us with any information needed, and we could do our laundry there. Nice atmosphere with the other guests as well. Highly recommended!! Thank you Sergei!

Fantastic guest house. Sergei and his wife are excellent hosts - and Bella the dog was a delight. Rooms were clean and very cosy, the en-suite bathrooms are also a big plus. I highly recommend staying here if you are in Karakol.

We definitely recommend this guesthouse. It offers an excellent value for money, especially compared to other accommodations in Karakol. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The owners are super kind and always ready to help. We did the Ala Kul trekking and they kept our big backpacks for free. The last day the owner even took us to the bus station to help us take the right marshrutka. Also...

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.

I was so lucky to find this place during my trip in September of this year. ^^ The location is also close to the terminal. 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...

+ 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 👍

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

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

A wonderful guest house with cozy and comfortable rooms. A huge plus is the 5-minute walk to the excellent sandy beach. There's a summer kitchen where you can cook your own meals if you wish. There are rooms for larger families, which is also important if you're vacationing with children. The hotel also offers covered parking if you arrive by car. I highly recommend it!

A beautiful white building in an aristocratic style, with its own covered parking, more like an oasis!

This is a beautiful and comfortable guest house for a very reasonable price. The house provides free wi-fi, outside kitchen for those who like to enjoy cooking, washing machine on site, beach towels and mats as well as a short waling distance to the beach. There are small local restaurants offering European and local cuisine, and Cholpon Ata is a quick drive away for those who like to explore the...

The rooms have a TV, refrigerator, and small table. The bathroom and shower are either in the room or next to each other on the floor, depending on the room class.

Clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, 5-minute walk to the beach, well-maintained grounds, quiet neighbors

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. They met us and saw us off, and everything was great. I highly recommend it!

Located near the international airport in the small village of Tamchy, the rooms are clean and well-made, with sturdy and clean plumbing and furniture. The hosts live in the complex themselves and prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I booked a 5-bed room. It's close to the beach. 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...

Resting for the moment. Amazing!!!!! the room is great, very comfortable! Warmly ! The staff is very friendly! They are constantly wondering if you need anything and how to relax. The area is very well maintained. Rest for those who want to enjoy solitude and silence.

We were very impressed. We rested from 14 to 19 August. The complex is small, but very clean and comfortable, amazed by the landscape design, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Everything is done very high quality and tasteful, the rooms are equipped with everything you need. I managed to sleep well and really relax. The room has a kitchen, it is possible to cook ourselves, but we ordered...

Stylish, clean, comfortable large rooms. Very friendly hosts. The lake is nearby. There is a playground. Mini bar. Small cons: no choice in food, no shower gel / shampoo, toothbrushes. The beach is not the cleanest. If there was a pool, it would be great.

Very friendly welcome. Comfortable, clean, and well-equipped rooms. Highly recommended!

There were five of us here, a group of friends; there were no other guests. The hosts were very welcoming, always willing to accommodate your every request. It was clean, warm (we were there in winter), and spacious.

It's a nice cozy place, runs as a family business, very clean well equipped place. The kitchen is shared with everything you need to cook your own meal, or they can prepare you a meal. The place is prepared for families and big groups; washing machine, large dining room, outside you have BBQ and cooking equipments with necessary tools you might need, a sauna to relax in. The host family is a nice welcoming...

The place is super inviting, warm and really well kept. The rooms super nice for the value and great showers. They were super helpful too with making sure everything was good for me. Super lovely lab will greet you maybe and the breakfast was varied and perfect. Overall typical wonderful Kyrgyzstan hospitality. Stay here.

A nice family home with good facilities and many nice amenities included in the room - especially for the price. I payed 1700 som for a room with a balanced and filling breakfast. The hosts are lovely and will go out of their way to help you! They have 2 dogs and a cat

I’d highly HIGHLY recommend Argo Guest House to anyone looking for a place to stay in Karakol. For 36 USD you get a spacious room, a balcony with chairs, a hearty breakfast with fresh fruits and vegetables (porridge unpictured), and refillable water. The host speaks limited English but enough to get by. Laundry service is available at 400 som per load. We were able to wash 2 supermarket plastic bags...

For Karakol's circumstances the rooms and bathrooms are outstanding! I would always prefer guest houses compared to e.g. hostels because you get to know people from around (not from abroad). The big room is great. It has got a balcony facing north so this is great in summer for example, because you don't get the midday sun straight in your room.

We've already stayed twice in this cozy and warm house, where you're welcomed like close family and where they're ready to fulfill your every wish. The very pleasant and welcoming hosts, Kuban and Raushan, and staff members Sergey and Natalya do everything possible to ensure your vacation is truly relaxing. The clean and cozy rooms, the hot sauna, the delicious food made from the finest organic ingredients...

When we arrived, we were absolutely blown away. It was absolutely wonderful. We had such a wonderful time, thanks in particular to the staff, who went out of their way to be polite and friendly, ensuring everything was perfect. We loved every minute of our vacation and highly recommend this guesthouse to families, groups of friends, and practically anyone. Have a wonderful stay!

I've never written reviews, but I really liked this hotel. After long flights and a difficult journey, my family and I decided to stay there, and we were right! Spacious, cozy rooms, polite, friendly, and helpful staff—everything was top notch. And the coolest thing is that you can pay in Bitcoin—a first for me in Kyrgyzstan. Overall, thanks to all the hotel staff for creating a warm atmosphere. Thanks...

Good day everyone! I was on an infrared summer vacation and stayed at this hotel with my family. We really enjoyed it :) The staff was friendly, the food was delicious, the rooms were clean, and the prices were affordable. I think we'll be back at the Tumar Hotel next year.

If you're looking for a great and affordable way to spend your winter holidays, this is the place for you. The location is excellent, it's close to the ski resort, and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you very much, we'll be back.

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.
