Argo Guest House in Karakol

A long but hopefully fair review.

This place was our second guesthouse in Karakol since the first guesthouse was fully booked. We were allowed to check in at 11am which was nice. Limited covered shelter for bikes in the premises.

Place is immaculate but they have a small, shouty dog which chased me and bit me twice in the leg as I entered the guesthouse in the afternoon. Honestly, I forgot the dog existed as I walked in and was shocked by what happened after. The second lab dog was lovely. I’m surprised at the lack of acknowledgement from the hosts, and that they never apologised.

Breakfast was great. The helper served us breakfast was very sweet and polite. I approached the lady host as we were leaving the next morning about the dog incident, hoping that she will put up signs at the gate to either warn guests about dogs, or to request guests to ring the bell before entering. This incident could have been avoided.

Again, she did not apologise, she just put up a big smile and just said thank you. It didn’t look like she will take that feedback, which is why I’m posting here as a warning to others.
