Tourist bases in Issyk-Kul Region

Nice place for a workshop I liked.

Great place to stay, but the prices leave a lot to be desired.

The resort is more than wonderful, elegant and distinctive

Very cozy, clean and beautiful. Great place to stay! And a wonderful beach

Modern, clean, comfortable and well-appointed.

I vacationed with my grandchildren from July 11th to 22nd, 2022, at the Solnyshko sanatorium. We stayed in Angela's VIP17 cottage. We really enjoyed it. She was a kind and welcoming host. It was clean and tidy, and the cleaning was done promptly, changing towels and bed linens. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing holiday—dishes, skewers, a gazebo, etc. I highly recommend...

New, high-quality cottages with a modern layout, a lawn, a gazebo, a barbecue, a cauldron, and a veranda. Large bedrooms with king-size beds. A gated community with its own beach, several shops, and a café. In the summer, there's a club/disco. Some things were overlooked. There was no gas, but they provided an electric stove. There was no Wi-Fi. The café on site is so-so, but the cottage has a fully...

A great place to relax. The rooms are clean and have all the amenities and essentials. The guesthouse is beautiful, and the beach and lake are clean. The grounds include a swimming pool with a thermal spring, a tennis court, and a playground (trampoline, bicycles, a carousel, a zip line, and much more). The VIP Village staff is very polite and courteous. We vacation here every year and love it.

The grounds are spacious and green. There are three guesthouses on the property, catering to different budgets. We stayed at Solnyshko 2, which is definitely not up to par. I'd like to see some recent renovations and updated bedding in the cottages. The beach is small, and the entrance is a bit intimate in places, but overall it's fine. The cottages are rated 3 stars, the grounds 5 stars, for an average...

It is some sort of a time travel. Everything still looks like in Soviet times. The rooms are some sort of clean. The shower was not working, the bathroom was interesting. If you are interested in a time travel, come here. It’s not cheap for a museum.

The environment is gorgeous. There are so many things to do and enjoy. During summer and weekends are so crowded. But it's really fun place

Good place to visit in summer. It has a scenic view and beautiful lake.

Great location - less then 100 meters from beach. Cheap price and good quality rooms

Very near (200-300m) to one of the beaches of issyk-kul lake. Ambience is like a village, quiet,lots of trees, mostly one floor huts/quarters.

Nice place. Better in the summer. If you hate salt in the sea water then this beach is the place to go 😊 cool(sometimes cold) and fresh water to enjoy swimming or sunbathing on the beach. Lots of water sports and amazing backdrop view of snow capped mountains

I have been several times and I am very excited!! Good stuff and great service! Also there is a beautiful beach 🏖️! I highly recommend it to everyone! Will return)

Quite a good place. There are a couple of drawbacks - the lake bed near the beach is covered with stones which is not convenient and sometimes even painful, a lack of parking spots (the parking area inside is quite small). Overall everything is fine unless you expect something premium.

Location and territory is really good. But the best one is the beach of this place. Clean and it has everything what you will need for the beach and swimming. We had an only 1 problem and it was a restaurant. We visited 3 times and all the time they had only 3 types of food from their menu and the rest was finished. We were hungry and ended up with going to another village to buy a food.

Issue kul, the hot lake has different resorts. The royal club overall is nice.. safe and has everything including a restaurant and free entertainment and bands some of the nights. I recommend it for families and for everyone wants to have different experience away from city life and enjoy the weather. Also having a swimming shoes is important. Otherwise enjoy the nature

Very nice landscape, comfortable cabins, very good shef in the restaurant and nice customer service, very personal. We were visiting Royal Beach Club with our dog (corgi) and they are pet friendly. Private clean beach, soccer and volleyball court, swimming pool and sauna

The cottages are certainly chic , they have everything you need for your stay,it is very convenient. But the beach is disgusting...the first time I saw it-To such a dirty and rocky shore...even if prevention and cleaning carried out that is...there just more than a foot!

The location is amazing. Mountains on one side, the lake on the other. Food delicious and natural. Rooms have basic things, so bring soap and shampoo. Other than that, I liked it a lot.

good place to stay for budget travelers. small rooms and very strict rules of canteen can spoil all the impressions

This place is not excellent but has its charms. Very much like a cheap Butlins with a very strict canteen. The food serving times are limited and the food offered is inconsistently good but enough to fill your stomach well. The pier and 'beach' are nice but unfortunately during our time there they did not ever light up the pier. Lots of places for children to play and many apricot trees. A nice cheap...

Very beautiful place to stay! Easy access to the beach and small pier. The lake is shallow here, 5 ft (1.5 meters) and less. The resort serves breakfast, lunch, dinner in the cafeteria, and there is at least one large room that can serve as a conference room or meeting space. The landscaping around the property is quite pleasant - the apricot trees start bearing fruit in July. In the rooms, the beds...

Inexpensive but nice way to spend a few days in Issyk-kul. Food is basic but the restaurant offers optional grill and samsas which are very tasty at additional charge. You need O! sim card to have good internet access. Beeline does not work there.

Great host, great food , great place to enjoy Kyrgyz hospitality and the lake

Stayed at a 4-bedroom villa. Great location during off peak season.

Great facility and wonderful restaurant!

Great place: spacious family cottages, landscaped area with playgrounds and a great beach. Ideal for families with children, because. the entrance to the sea is gentle and very far from deep. The hotel has an excellent restaurant with a super chef: all dishes are great.

Nice well-groomed territory with beautiful flowers and green lawns. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to please or help. Nice restaurant with not a rich menu, part of the positions on the foot, there was no lamb at all as such. Three meals a day is strangely formed, relatively good breakfast, lunches with delicious soups and a poor second course, for dinner in so small portions that a...

A wonderful boarding house, an oasis on the shore of Issyk Kul. I liked the service, the rooms and most importantly the food is very tasty. We think we will return to this place again.

I stayed in the "luxury" house I guess it was okay no wifi the beds feel like they were made with wood the bathroom door lock was busted there was a bunch of garbage under the beds stuff in the fridge and bunch of cobwebs everywhere the beach was pretty good

We not in Ala too but we just been walking around there and there was this awesome boys making frying ice cream . We'll done boys it's was delicious. 👍👍👍 Was also disco and some shops .

Everything was cool! The sun, the beach and our Issyk-Kul!!!🧡🧡🧡

Liked the pool. Clean and still closed. You can swim even in bad weather

And now this place is abandoned, but for lovers of quiet places it is perfect. Occasionally there are cows and people walking there, but this does not bother much. The bridges are old and the house too. There is nothing inside, just white walls and a wooden floor. Some windows are also missing. To go to unwind will come down.

So Gud in Winter as well as Summer

I'M SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE AT THE RECREATION CENTER. EVERYTHING HERE IS NEW AND INTERESTING, LOTS OF GREENWOOD, AND LOTS OF ENTERTAINMENT. THE GROUNDS ARE ALWAYS CLEAN, THE HOUSES AND APARTMENTS ARE CLOSE TO LAKE ISSY-KUL. I'M GLAD THAT I CAN COME HERE AGAIN AND AGAIN.

The largest and newest recreation center for those who want to have a good and quality rest, come to the Atlantis Recreation Center for a luxurious vacation for the whole family.

Room was cleaned right before our check in, and there were no bed sheets, towels and toiletries. I asked administrator to bring it at 4pm, and I asked at 7pm again and only after that they brought only towels, but no bed sheets, they told us that bed sheets were hang on dryer outside and it were wet. We called administrator again, she replied us that another bed sheets were in wardrobe. But there were...

One of the best family-run boarding houses on Issyk-Kul. Beautiful, well-maintained grounds surrounded by greenery and flowers. Luxurious and affordable rooms with all the amenities. The hosts, Igor and Bakhtygul, are very sensitive and responsive. Chef Natalia is a true gem, and the food is just like home. Delicious and filling. The beach is one of the best in Bostyri. The evenings are quiet, without...

We were more than satisfied with Skif Murok. The owner and his wife were very friendly and helpful. The property was lovingly maintained and cleaned; everything was spotless. Early in the morning, the beautiful flowers and lawn were watered, and the paths were cleaned. There are several restaurants, shops, and bars on the grounds. The prices were the same as in town, no more expensive. The lake is...

I really liked the boarding house grounds: vast, well-kept, and lush, with gorgeous roses, other flowers, and beautiful plants growing everywhere. I loved strolling around the grounds in the morning, listening to the birds sing and admiring the flowers while everyone else was asleep. There are several shady pine alleys with swings, benches, restaurants, and seating areas. I had a pleasant experience...

If you're looking for a relaxing holiday, Bosterey is 2 km away, Cholpon-Ata 10, the Ferris Wheel 3-4, and the lake 700 m away. The well-maintained grounds and friendly hosts will delight you throughout your stay. We stayed in a modest room on the first floor at the end of June (it was chilly at the beginning, and there was no Ferris Wheel). It had a bathroom with constant hot water (a boiler). Unfortunately...

We're vacationing in August 2024. This is our fifth time at this boarding house. It's an ideal choice for a quiet family vacation with children. Key advantages include being a 5-minute walk to the beach and a 7-10-minute walk to the Goluboy Issyk-Kul sanatorium beach. There are also many cafes and a small market within walking distance. The grounds include two swimming pools with sun loungers—one for...

Hello. Great hotel, everything is clean. We will visit this hotel again.

We stayed here during a world cycle tour. It is new, clean and in a quiet location. Near the beach and restaurants in the town. In a closed area so it was safe to park our bicycles. The staff are very friendly and polite. We really enjoyed our time here.

The boarding house is in a good location, 1 coastal, the territory is large, green, there are many spruce trees, the trees are tall. 3 meals a day and the price is good.

We rested in the Tulpar boarding house from 07/29/2023 to 08/5/2023 There are many more disadvantages than advantages. So I'll start with the good: 1. Large, green area. Fresh spruce smell 2. Sandy beach, quite large. The entrance to the lake is very gentle and safe. And relatively clean compared to Bosteri center 3. The food was ok, but there was a lack of variety. At least 2 dishes to choose from...

Quite cosy place, friendly and hospital staff

Wonderful Stay for a Cycling Group at Karkara Glamping! We were looking for a place for our cycling group to stay near Karkyra and chose Karkara Glamping (Karkyra, Kyrgyzstan)—absolutely no regrets. This is a yurt camp in Kyrgyzstan where it’s comfortable to sleep, easy to wake up early, and great for lots of hiking. The yurts are clean and warm; they are especially cozy at night. Bedding is new and...

The camp is located in a very beautiful valley, with a lot of possibilities for activities. We visited in the off season, and the staff was very nice, and there is also a good doggo and some calm horses you can ride. The yurt was an amazing place to sleep - make sure to watch the sunrise and take a walk in the hills. The staff also helped us when we had an issue with our rental car. Wish i could have...

A wonderful glamping experience! Was certainly the best accommodation during our one week tour. The yurt room is tastefully furnished and many amenities provided. Location is quiet and peaceful and a lovely place for walks. Meals were provided which were pretty good with adequate choices. Would strongly recommend this place!

I was lucky as I could book this hotel at a good rate. The room (yurt) was fantastic. Most of staff here couldn't speak English. So, I feel a little bit ignored. But if you speak their language, this hotel will be a good choice.

Yurts were fantastic - lovely, warm, comfy. Food was excellent too. Service was a little unusual by Western standards, but appreciated the support from the host :) Excellent walks nearby in the Karkyra Gorge (only 5mins drive away along the river)

I did not stay at this lodge but I was there with friends who stayed 8 days. We had a dinner at the restaurant. Food was ok. I ordered a ribbeye steak and it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Overall, Karven is a great with lots of indoor activities like snookers, table tennis and bowling.

I finally got to take a dip in the famous Isskul Lake. The resort was welcoming and beautifully designed. The overall atmosphere was good.

We stayed at Karven Four Seasons with family and were genuinely so impressed. The entire place is spotless, calm, and beautifully maintained, every little detail is taken care of, and you can really feel it. It’s peaceful, green, and just incredibly pleasant to walk around. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and super quiet ideal for families, but also perfect for hosting business events or retreats...

It is a nice property (as a hotel). We stayed for 2 nights as part of our Kyrgyzstan tour. The room is nice, good size, except no AC. There were a big group of cleaning crews when we were there but they worked super slow and missed a lot of details. They are simply not well trained. The hotel is integrated with some private homes, duplexes, and villas. It is a gated community and it covers a big piece...

Great cozy apartment! Close to the beach, inside there is everything for a comfortable stay. There are many entertainments in Karven itself. We really enjoyed! Now we will come to rest in Karven only in this apartment 😍.

We rested with the Family in a cottage, clean, tidy, comfortable. But .. There is only one bathroom.

Lovely location and the Yurts are very cosy, albeit a bity warm after they light the stove! Great food and nice staff. The showers can be erratic, so make sure you have one when the sun is shining as there is no pressure or hear after the sun sets! Water went off briefly when there which was not ideal but was fixed.

Sleeping in this yurt camp was a wonderful experience. The camp is located about ten minutes drive from Issik Kul Lake. The yurts are clean, sheets and duvet as well. A special mention to the kindness of the waitresses in the yurt restaurant. Also delicious food... you eat sitting on the carpets, cross-legged under the table. Don't miss this experience, appreciate the tranquility and beauty of the...

What a fantastic experience to sleep over in a yurt. The camp is well laid out and has all amenities. Before we tucked in for the night, a couple of locals stoked the internal stove with hot coals. The communal dining room was interesting and there are no chairs so you have to sit with crossed legs. The local food was well prepared and tasty.

We came as part of a tour and stayed one night. Yurts were well prepared, clean. Food was well prepared and was tasty. There is hot shower with plenty of hot water regardless to the time. The site is well situated for hikes near by. Highly recommend!

My feelings for this place fly a little higher than love. First, the place: you sleep in yurts on a broad beach on the southern side of Issy-Kul. The food is exceptional (vegetarians note, they like a lot of meat but there’s such an abundance you will still feast). The thermally warmed lake means you can swim comfortably beneath snow-capped Tien Shan peaks. The best thing is, there is nothing really...

I stayed here for one night and enjoyed it. The yurts are clean and cosy, the food was tasty and the scenery is awesome. Plus there is a good number of bathrooms and showers and they are all very clean.

What a great yurt camp this is! Great location, amazing scenery Super friendly staff Dinner was wonderful and cosy all together Yurts were heated and very charming The view was breathtaking We even enjoyed an eagle show and a bondfire at night and a swim in the morning Also really liked the Ak Say Canyon viewpoint close to the camp Excellent experience

We stopped here for the night on our road trip. Great location by the lake, amazing for stargazing! Ak Say canyon is good for hiking. The bathrooms were great, as well as showers!

the camp has a good location, against the Ak Say Canyon, fringed by the snowcapped Tien Shan mountains, and near to Issyk Kul shore. also, meals are tasty. shower and toilets are clean and communal. the drive towards the camp is an adventure itself. it begins from Ak Say village, through the eponymous canyon, and ends right before Issyk Kul lake shore. the journey takes around 45 min with stops....

A truly beautiful day experience that I wish to you. From the view, sleeping in a yurt, delicious food and the incredibly lovely people running it.

My stay at this place was simply amazing. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. It’s one of the cleanest, most comfortable, and pleasant places I’ve ever stayed in, with daily cleaning that kept everything spotless. The food was among the best I had during my trip—absolutely delicious. They also helped me book tours, and everything went perfectly. I 100% recommend this place and would...

This place is stunning. Views are insane, food and staff are great and the yurt itself is very spacious and comfortable. You have your own shower/toilet, coffee and tea whenever you want and you can walk 2 minutes to go swimming in the lake. Couldn’t have asked for a more wholesome few days in Kyrgyzstan.

Great resort near the lake. very comfortable beds. shower and toilets per yurt outside every yurt. clean and easy.

I stayed at this beautiful yurt in Kyrgyzstan for 3 nights, and the experience was simply amazing! The hosts were warm and welcoming, taking care of every little detail with a smile. The yurt was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated in authentic style, with breathtaking views all around. The homemade food was delicious and varied, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing – perfect for...

Best Yurt Camp I have been to in Kirghizstan! Quiet, clean, warm, and close to Karakol. Ideally located to start trekking 🥰 Quality Breakfast included

Fantastic yurt camp surrounded by nature. The hospitality, helpfulness, and meals were all perfect! Highly recommended.

Despite a bit of trouble finding the place on our own (google marker was in wrong place but i've now submitted correction), we got there at midnight, and the host still welcomed us in. Simple, but wonderful, and to wake up in a setting next to a roaring river and surrounded by trees, stunning. 4x4 required to get there, and Russian speaking only.

One of the best places I have stayed! I ended up staying here for 3 nights after expecting to be there one night. Aksana and Olga are so sweet and helpful. The property is incredibly peaceful and beautiful. Nice kitchen. Nice location. Everything was perfect

Great guest house ! Super nice staff, very clean facilities and beautiful garden to chill in. 15 minutes walk from the beach and 10 minutes walk from the bus station to Bichkek.

Delightful guest house with friendly host and an amazing view from the room and balcony. Also has a great kitchen and private garden.

Olga is so wonderful. She made sure I felt right at home. I can’t thank her enough. They even brought me some warm clothes to wear because I was underprepared for the cold weather. The heated floor in the room was an added bonus. I loved it.

Fantastic stay with Olga! Olga will make you feel at home from the beginning, showing you around and introducing you. Even though she doesn’t speak too much English there’s always someone to translate some words here and there. Rooms are rustic and comfortable. There is WIFI (relatively slow but you will not spend time on your devices anyway). Bathrooms are always extremely clean. We met amazing...

It was the best accommodation I had in Kyrgyzstan. You will never regret it. The host took care of everything from A to Z, from the smallest things to satisfaction. Wonderful view from the window and refreshing greeting Host greeted me every morning made my day start with a smile. Highly recommended!!^^

This was my first yurt experience in my life, and it couldn’t have been a better one. Close to snacks, atm, and lovely help by the kind man working at the camp. Highly recommended.

Really nice “city yurt”, everything was very clean, it had electric heater and it was very cozy even on a cold night. Owner was really nice as well as simple yet lovely breakfast, would highly recommend :)

Sleeping in a yurt seemed to be a strange idea, but it worked: I slept there better than anywhere else!. Good breakfast, friendly staff, hot showers, fast wifi. Very nice place.

Great yurt to stay! Clean and nice place to enjoy your holiday. Helpful and friendly host who give us lots of useful advice for our trekking trip.

We spent there three nights in tent and one in the yurt between treks. This camp is absolutely perfect with the manager being very nice and kind. He can arrange transport and give you necessary information about treks, schedules and prices. Breakfast are ordinary. Its a very cosy place to stay. 10/10

Location: nice and centrally located on the main road of Karakol. Easy to find because it's written outside in HUGE writing. Room: Yurts were cold so we opted for a private room instead which came with an electric heater too! Beds were comfy with plenty of thick blankets p Staff: Very friendly staff. Limited English but enough to get directions and arrange breakfast/laundry. After we left Turkestan...

A good place! Cozy and friendly!

The garden is beautiful and full of fruit you can pick. Make sure to have dinner there, it's superior tasty. In summer the grandson of the owners is also there and can translate his grandfather's stories.

It's cool here, the bus takes away every half hour, they feed enough 3 times a day, it's calm, the air is fresh, krch is great 😍

Very welcoming location. Tasty and lots of food. Price quality very good

Great place. Very hospitable owner.
