Best guest houses in Karakol

There is a large terrace upstairs and also a beautiful garden and porch downstairs. The breakfast, prepared fresh, included fruit, salad, breads, cheeses, eggs any way you want them and various desserts

In the neighborhood were many of the old, original wooden houses, which made walking around a pleasant experience. It was quiet at night as well. We enjoyed our two-night stay here

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

This is a lovely guest house run by a wonderful couple. It is located a short distance from the cathedral and restaurants and shopping

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

Our room was small but perfect — everything in its place, crisp sheets, a window looking toward the mountains. That night I slept deeper than I had in weeks. Clean to Japanese standards, warm with Kyrgyz soul

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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 host family is a nice welcoming family makes you feel at home, with all the help you might need

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

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

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

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. If we were to come back, this would be our first choice

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

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

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

We were able to wash 2 supermarket plastic bags’ worth of clothes so I am guessing 7-12kg? Note that they do not have a dryer, they just hang it out to dry, so this may not be the option for you if you are in a hurry

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

For Karakol's circumstances the rooms and bathrooms are outstanding! I would always prefer guest houses compared to e. hostels because you get to know people from around (not from abroad)

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

When we arrived, we were absolutely blown away. 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

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

Good day everyone! I was on an infrared summer vacation and stayed at this hotel with my family

The clean and cozy rooms, the hot sauna, the delicious food made from the finest organic ingredients, and the beautiful surroundings leave you with an irresistible desire to return again and again

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

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

Really nice place. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, food facilities (towels, soap, hair dryer). Hospitable host and good food. Bonus: the house has many traditional art on the wall.

Charming, has wifi, very good english

Breakfasts are like home, the rooms are clean and cozy, and in the garden there are ripe apples, plums and raspberries that you can pick straight from the branches. Homemade jam brings back the taste of childhood

Breakfast tastes like home, the rooms are fresh and spotless, and the garden is full of apples, plums, and raspberries you can pick straight from the tree. The homemade jams take you back to childhood flavors

Śniadania smakują jak w domu, pokoje pachną czystością, a w ogrodzie rosną jabłka, śliwki i maliny, które można zbierać prosto z drzewa. Domowe konfitury przenoszą w smak dzieciństwa

Janara, the hostess, greets guests with a smile and makes you feel like an old friend. Here you will not just relax – here you will feel the real Kyrgyzstan

You wake up, open the curtains (or step outside your door), and there they are: the legendary Seven Bulls rocks standing like giants against the sky, with nothing but endless wilderness stretching in every direction

Getting there was a bit of a hassle, the bridge google map showed was closed and we had a hard time finding the other bridge. However the room was comfortable and the food was really good. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

The owner speaks excellent English and is very helpful. I really liked the modern kitchen and bathroom with 24 hour hot water. I stayed for two nights in the yurt dormitory which only has 3 beds and is quite spacious

Additionally, the village is nice and I really recommend to stay one night - The yurts outside are common rooms and there are also multiple shared bathrooms - Cholpon speaks English and she is very nice and helpful

They are hands-down the kindest, most generous people I’ve met in years of travelling. The owner let my girlfriend ride with her to town so she could stick up on some food for us during our 6 day stay

It really felt like I was visiting family and they invited us both back. I look forward to the day I get to return to see my old friends there and explore more of the surrounding wilderness

Furthermore, while we initially thought the internet was good, it was not stable enough to actually get remote work done, and we lost electricity three times in five days (which I think is normal in the area)

Worse, we were charged over $15 for just two loads of laundry (one white, one colors). I have traveled extensively and have never seen such an exorbitant price, not even in expensive countries like Germany

Their kindness felt incredibly genuine, which is why the end of our stay feels so hurtful and disappointing. Unfortunately, behind the friendly hospitality, we felt taken advantage of financially

The first red flag was when they tried to book a mountain tour for us and quoted a price that was 1,000 higher than the actual cost—which we assumed was a heavy commission, but we let it pass

Aside from the financial disappointment, the stay itself had some challenges. The hotel is far away from everything; you have to walk at least 15 minutes just to find food

The real breaking point was check-out. We moved from a very large room to a much smaller room, yet were charged the exact same price ($25/night)

Stayed overnight as part of a tour. Comfortable room with en suite ( rather strange position of toilet!). Good facilities and tasty evening meal and breakfast. Very efficient staff and cope well with groups of tourists

maybe the best cusine we had in Kirghizistan! cosy restaurant, every detail is well-treated, a horse and cow farm to visit!

Very lovely and professional guesthouse/hotel. The owners are friendly and competent. They know how guests feel welcome and wanna stay. I could only spent one night at this place and i wish it was longer

The rooms in the new guest house are comfortable and have everything you need for a great stay. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and feel refreshed. Great hospitality, lovely surroundings

Farm tour if offered is interesting

the nature is breathtaking the food sooo delicious all the ingredients organic and they farm it in the back yard. I loved the jam & honey they made it's mouth watering. and above off all the staff was sooo friendly

Hot water, showers, comfortable beds, and towels. An excellent, large, and warmly heated banya with bath birch branches and sheets, and they even treated us to some fruit drink! Very tasty and filling breakfasts

The place is quiet and beautiful, the staff are helpful, the breakfast is good, the rooms are lovely, and the view is wonderful. It's also close to the ski area

Definitely the best place we stayed during our trip around Issyk-Kul! We sincerely thank the hosts and wish them prosperity and the best of luck! ❤️

There's a great sauna for warming up on cold evenings. And most importantly, the hosts are very welcoming and put hospitality first. I recommend it to everyone and will definitely be back

The price/quality ratio is fantastic! Everything at the ski resort is much more expensive, but here, right next to the resort, the quality of service and prices make you feel comfortable

The accommodations were wonderful: well-built, cozy, clean, and warm cottages, everything was brand new, and everything you need for a great vacation was there, down to the last detail
