“great stay close to Skazka”
+Host greeted us upon arrival and drove us to Skazka, which was great. he also hiked with us and told us lots of interesting stories, definitely one of the highlights of our trip. then he dropped us off at a restaurant for dinner and recommended a shop. we also had nice breakfast in the yurt. as we were going back to Bishkek, the host booked us a spot in marshrutka, which was super helpful! definitely recommend, would also be nice to spend a few days as it’s close to the lake. bonus points: cute host dog

“Lovely”
+It is very close to Fairytale Canyon and Barskoon. The hosts are really nice. They even rinsed our car after it got very dirt in the mountains. The house is very clean and the breakfast was good and plenty. You can pay with dollars, but only 50 or bigger notes. Plus: cute dog :)
−Everything is very clean, but some minor things could use an upgrade, like the rusty shower curtain holder. It wasn’t bad at all, bc everything was very clean, it would just give a better impression.

“Good stop for the night”
+Comfortable room, and good spaces to relax, eg a balcony. The young woman speaks English well. We were self driving, location was handy for fairytale canyon etc
−Breakfast was not included, but I realised there are 2 options on booking, one to include breakfast so just note this when reserving.

+The location is marvelous if you would like to see the lake/go to the beach. The Skazka canyon is a short drive away. The balcony has a very nice view towards the lake and one could dine there. The owners are quite helpful with finding transfer and arranging the transport around the place.
−The room was not that huge. There was one bathroom was for 4 guest rooms. Only one other was occupied that night but in case all 4 are it could lead to waiting in the morning I believe.

“Agréable séjour”
+Le fait d’avoir une cuisine équipée indépendante Les espaces aérés et grands Le petit balcon pour prendre l’apéro Peut convenir pour un séjour un peu long

“Fantastic hosts, spacious rooms, very comfortable beds, a beautiful lake view and a great breakfast in a traditional yur”
+We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming and always happy to help with transport and recommendations for things to do in the area. The rooms were spacious, and the beds were some of the most comfortable we’ve had during our trip. The veranda offers a beautiful view over Issyk-Kul, making it a perfect place to relax. Breakfast was delicious, and it was a lovely experience to enjoy it together with the other guests in the traditional yurt. The beach is only a 7-10 minute walk away, making it easy to go for a swim.
−Nothing at all. Everything exceeded our expectations.

+Przyjemny pokój w dobrym rozmiarze. Balkon wspólny dla wszystkich. Czysto, blisko do plaży. Dobre śniadanie.
−Dzielenie łazienki (ubikacja z prysznicem) może być uciążliwe ale wiedzieliśmy o tym. Słabe ciśnienie wody.

+Urocza córka właściciela, która swobodnie mówi po angielsku. Do plaży można dojść na piechotę. Pyszne śniadanie i kolacja w tradycyjnej jurcie.
−Byłem tam zbyt krótko 🙂
