Guest reviews for Hostel Ask
"It was good enough for a quick rest and a base to start trekking. The location is great – just step out to the street to catch bus #101 to the Karakol National Park entrance (last stop), or bus #350 to the Altyn Arashan trailhead and Ak-Tilek Bazaar Bus Station (last stop). The owner was very kind and even escorted me to make sure the bus driver understood where I was going. Recommended for budget travelers and those looking to escape the crowds."
"The bed was too soft, and the blanket felt old. The shared kitchen was a bit messy, with rubbish piling up. The toilet has no toilet paper."
"Very nice staff and in walkable distance to the city center. Buses also stop very close by (101 to the national park entry and 112 to the main bus station)"

"A great place to stay in Karakol. You get everything you need for a very cheap price! It is literally cheaper than some hostels and you get a private room. Very good for digital nomads as wifi is perfect and it is quiet. I had no problem working there (online teaching) I also met many people there which I didn’t expect."

"Spacious room and balcony; kitchen with fridge available; nice backyard common terrace; good location"
"Shower water pressure and temperature were underwhelming"
"The hotel is a large family-run house with a peaceful atmosphere. It is convenient to walk to most places. The lady owner and one of her sons speak English. The owner's brother was very helpful after check-out, offering me tea and telling me about Kyrgyzstan, even though he did not speak English. They were very flexible, even after check-out, to let me keep my luggages for a day so that I could climb the mountain. Thank you!"
"The lock to the room I stayed in was broken. I couldn't open the door by myself, I was locked up for a moment and couldn't lock the door afterwards. But they came to help me immediately and I was safe, even though I couldn't lock the door☺︎"
"Beautiful ❤❤❤ big house , good size of room, big kitchen and very clean.The family was very co operative. Its just 7mins walk from centre and there is a big supermarket open 24/7 ...

"Cosy little guest house ran by an incredibly friendly elderly couple who make you feel at home. We especially enjoyed the chats and komuz (traditional Kyrgyz instrument) playing."

Betül Issyk - Kol Hotel
"Irina and her team have really equipped and maintained this place superbly. It was one of our best stays on our travels in Kyrgyzstan and excellent value. The guesthouse is immaculate and well thought out in terms of its facilities and comfort. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen for our self catering, the roomy common area, the clean bathrooms and comfortable bedroom. It's a stone's throw from the beach, a nice place for a walk on a sunny morning or evening, in a quiet area within easy access of the city. Highly recommended!"
Colin Tian-Shan Guest House
"I had a comfortable stay and despite arriving late at night, the family waited for me and welcomed me nicely. The room is spacious and very comfortable though a bit old but it’s fine. The owner is really nice. She’s a very kind lady and helpful. I really had a great time talking to her :)"
Theresa Visit Balykchy
"Понравились условия проживания. Большие комнаты, можно комфортно расположиться семьёй, в комнатах чисто. Хозяева гостеприимны, сытный завтрак и угощения с сада. На год вперёд наелись абрикосов и яблок. Хозяин встретил на машине и по необходимости увозил на пляж и обратно. Очень понравилось!"
"Very amazing host really helpful , it's just 15 mins drive away from Ala Archa park"
"If you want to walk in Ala-Archa valley and have a romantic diner int the restaurant there…but you don’t want to come back in Bishkek! This place is for you! Small nice hotel with lovely breakfast…alive trout in the swimming pool outside…many places to walk and warm up in sauna after!"
