    The property was beautiful and airy, with a great kitchen which was perfect for travelling with small children and meant flexibility for the morning and breakfast. It was a really easy walk to the beach.

    I recently stayed at this lovely guest house and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere felt just like home, making my stay very comfortable. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything I needed. Irina, one of the owners, spoke excellent English, which made communication very easy. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming and friendly stay.

    Great location right by the lake. It's a bit further from the town, but the staff will always call you a taxi (70 som). The owner was really nice and helpful, our room was cozy with clean shared bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen was an appreciated bonus!

    The location is hard to find, as Google maps does not recognize the road that accesses the facility. Irina kindly met us at a gas station on the main road, and escorted us to the property.

    Owner Irina is wonderful! Staff is very helpful! Facilities are spotlessly clean!! Beautiful rose garden! Easy 3-minute walk to quiet part of the lake. Very safe and secure, for the rooms and parking!

    We were pleasantly surprised how clean, modern and comfy was this place. Nice renovated rooms, strong wifi and secured parking for our car in the garden. Driveway to the guesthouse is quite bumpy and google might give you bad directions, but we were very well informed from english speaking owner Irina which road we should use, so there were not a problem to get there. You will be welcomed by kind security guy who will help you with a check-in 👍

    It was hard to find. If you turn down the street named улица Карыбаева and then at the end turn left, you will see signs that will direct you to it!

    Very clean and comfy beds. The host was very welcoming and friendly. The place was really nice! A really short walk to the lake, where we were able to have a picnic and watch the sunset.

    The owner Talai is amazing. Very friendly, very interesting guy. He does not speak English but there is good wifi and two Italians managed to communicate with him through google translate just fine. He is very patient and very very welcoming. The location is amazing, literally two minutes away from swimming. The facilities were shared, but very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable to sleep on.

    The location is a bit in the middle of nowhere so struggled with the taxi from the bus station and walking at night was a bit intimidating.

    The host's were very lovely and spoke very good English, which helped when trying to organise a hike to Konorchek Canyon. The location was very peaceful and relaxing, the lake is a short walk away.

    not easy to find, although there are signs when you get close. In fact Google maps is largely to blame.

    I chose the place because it was close to the lake; the compound is pleasant, and the proprietor very nice and kind (she drove me to the bus-station when I was leaving).

    There is no restaurant that is walking distance. But the owner is so helpful, she helped us order food online.

    Love that it is 3mins walking distance to Issykul lake. There is also a playground inside the compound which is great for kids. The bed is super comfy and clean. The owner is amazing. She is very friendly and nice. She even helped us ordered food online.

    there was nothing that was negative!

    Close walk to the lake. Comfortable, warm beds. Great kitchen and sitting area. Super warm shower (sadly traveled during the colder weather), and everything was just absolutely perfect and enjoyable. Great stay after a long day of hitchhiking, will probably be back on my way to Bishkek!

    The oven and all hobs were broken, replaced by just one electric hob. Place was very difficult to find, so many people have said this but the host still doesn’t give any directions. Host was unresponsive when we arrived. Host offered us a free upgrade to have separate rooms and then tried to charge us for an additional bed.

    It was by the lake
