  • KanintuchThailand · Feb 3, 2026 10Exceptional

    Liked : The apartment was really cozy, located in residential area, very quiet and away from the road noise. The apartment has everything you would need, from a comfy bed to a well-equipped kitchen (this is a big plus!). The apartment is close to a supermarket and can easily get around with Yandex taxis. The host was also responsive and helpful. Though -- warning for the first time arriving, it might take some effort to find the apartment door as all other doors and buildings look the same in that area.

    Disliked : Only small issues e.g. the heater can't be adjusted, you need to open the windows if it is too warm and we couldn't watch local tv.
    Otherwise, everything else was great!

    It was a great place to stay and will definitely come back.

    Liked : It was a good place to stay. Complete with all necessary ammenities. Location is great as well as it’s near everywhere in the city. Would definitely come back to stay in this place. The owner speaks english as well and responds quickly.

    Disliked : Maybe the wifi can be a bit faster. But all in all it was good.

    Liked : Everything was perfect, Zinat is very friendly and helpful! We checked in at 4am due to a late night concert, but Zinat still helped us to check in smoothly and without any troubles. Facilities were awesome, I have nothing to add really, can’t recommend enough this place and the host ❤️
    Thanks a lot, Zinat, if I ever come back to Almaty, I’d love to stay here one more time 🌸🙌🏻

    I would definitely stay here again..!

    This is the first time I’m giving a 10 to a property..!

    Liked : Absolutely loved this place. It was so clean, comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need. About a 5 min walk to shopping centre and within the centre of town. Zinat was a wonderful host, very easy to communicate with and accessible as needed. Highly recommend for a couple

    Disliked : We couldn’t figure out the thermostat, it was quite warm but we used the aircon as needed which worked well.

    Awesome and convenient

    Liked : The location is incredible, 10 minutes from a big shopping mall. Amenities are thought-through, there are two kettles (electric and gas), a washing machine, an ironing board. Very easy to get into, close to the bus stops. The host is very polite and helpful.

    Disliked : Everything was good.

    Perfect for a couple of nights in Almaty

    Liked : Quiet and set back from the street, the apartment is perfect if you need a nice relaxing place for a few days. The location is very convenient with public transport and plenty of shops/restaurants nearby. The apartment is well equipped with a full kitchen and a washing machine. I would happily stay here next time I'm in Almaty.

    Liked : Loved this place! Amazing value for money. Facilities were great. Bedroom was cozy. In a good location where the city centre was walkable. The staff were easy to communicate with despite not speaking Russian. Very glad I stayed here instead of a hotel, made my Almaty experience so much better!

    Good value for money! Highly recommended

    Liked : We stayed at Zinat’s place for 5 nights, and it’s been a good stay overall. The communication with Zinat has been smooth, and she is always responsive and helpful!

    If you are driving, there’s free parking outside and Yandex taxi are always easily available as well. The checkout was quick as well and the deposit was returned to us in cash.

    Would highly recommend staying at Zinat’s.

    Disliked : Very minor — there’s a weird smell in the kitchen especially in the morning. Probably from the building sewage system, but apart from that, nothing really!
