+It's a nice and friendly place. Staff is useful and it's a real hostel with mates.
−I've got the apartment it was nice but the matress need to be change, he is dying. A kettle inside the appartement would be a plus

+This property feel like coming home. There’s something so cozy about the space. It’s very simple but has everything you could ever need. I loved my stay and Aida is wonderful!

“It was just amazing!”
+All! I like everything about this hostel, it's so homey. The owner is really nice too. They have a garden where you can pick pears and plums. The people staying there were just amazing. It's the best hostel I've stayed at in Kyrgyzstan so far.

“SCAM!! I booked one night and ended up staying two weeks.”
+This place is a total trap - you’ll never want to leave! The vibes are absolutely wonderful, super warm and family-like. The owners are fantastic, everything is spotless, and the shared kitchen is really nice. You can even rent gear for hiking and exploring around. Honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in - highly recommend (but careful, you might get stuck here too 😉).”

“Good Reliable and Friendly Choice”
+A very friendly non-commercial hostel with lots of vibrancy and character both inside and out. The owner and international volunteer are very friendly and sociable and the overall design reflects that. It is one of the least pricey hostels in Karakol and it is definitely a safe and reliable option. The bathroom and bed were clean, and use of the washing machine is a reasonable 150 soms, and there is complimentary tea, coffee, and a usable kitchen should you wish. Would recommend to all. 8.5/10.

“A budget stay for laid-back travellers”
+A simple hostel for laid back travellers. The part I loved the most was the apricot and pear trees in the back. The kitchen is very well stocked, laundry is cheap, and the hosts are super friendly.
−There's only one bathroom available and it combines the washbasin, toilet and shower. So usually there's some waiting involved.

+My favorite guesthouse in Kyrgyzstan. An amazing vibe and friendly people. And probably one of the best house cats I have ever met. Shampoo is really keeping this place alive 😃 👍 👌 make sure to buy him food. He is a special boy.

“Our favourite place in Kyrgyzstan, and it wasn't even close.”
+Our favourite place in Kyrgyzstan, and it wasn't even close. We ended up staying an extra 2 nights on top of our original 2 night booking as we just loved the apartment room and the rest of the facilities. Top marks to Sandro who was immensely helpful and kind, throughout our stay and is not your typical hostel host (ask about his hitchhiking...). Our room was perfect, not fake-luxury or bland and monochrome, it felt like staying in a close friends apartment but all to yourself. Maps, guides, books, the room and wider building has a completely authentic feel - because it is. Washing machine, as well as other key amenities, are all onsite for your convenience. Thanks again Sandro and best of luck.

“Een echt thuis!”
+Pas op!!! Als je naar dit hostel gaat, verblijf je langer dan je wilt! Ons verblijf in Eagle’s Nest was alles wat we nodig hadden. We hadden eigenlijk gepland om hier voor en na onze trekking te verblijven en weer door te gaan, maar uiteindelijk zijn we 2,5 week gebleven. Iedere dag hebben we ons verblijf weer verlengd. De eigenaresse Aida en de vrijwilliger Sandro zijn ontzettend lieve, gezellige en behulpzame mensen. Zij en de andere reizigers die we hebben ontmoet hebben dit verblijf tot een waanzinnige tijd gemaakt! Ook de huiskat shampoo is de allerliefste die we ooit ontmoet hebben! Er is een gezamenlijke woonkamer en keuken, waar je vrij gebruik van kunt maken. We hebben meerdere avonden samen gekookt en films gekeken met Aida, Sandro en andere gasten. Het voelt echt als thuiskomen en het voelt als een echte familie. Je kunt van verschillende faciliteiten en producten gebruik maken, zoals water, koffie en de verse peren uit de perenboom. Wij hebben hier jam van gemaakt.
−Er is op dit moment 1 badkamer met 1 douche en 1 wc en 1 buitentoilet voor alle gasten, maar hier gaat volgend jaar verandering in komen! Verwacht geen super schoon hotel waar alles altijd super goed geregeld is, maar verwacht een warm thuis met een tweede familie.
