Ordo Hotel is a recently renovated guest house in Karakol, where guests can make the most of its garden and barbecue facilities. This guest house features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

Mars and his family were exceptionally warm and hospitable. Mars had deep knowledge of the places around and appropriately guided us. He went out of his way on all occasions to make sure we had a pleasant stay - he ensured there were vegetarian options for breakfast and organised early breakfast on request, arranged local transport, recommended restaurants for local food, helped us buy bus tickets and generally made sure we had a comfortable stay. Mars was always smiling and ever ready to help. We highly recommend his homestay for anyone looking for accommodation in Karakol.

Featuring mountain views, Ala-Kul guesthouse in Altyn-Arashan in Karakol offers accommodation, a terrace and a bar. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

The location is really excellent. The hosts are a lovely couple always smiling and really helpful. Tea is served, food is excellent; cookies and candies are always on the table. Dinners with other guests were really fun and informative. A nice wood stove was keeping all of us warm. Perfect location to start the long hike to Ala-Kul lake (13 km one way). We highly recommended the Ala-Kul guesthouse. Lots of kindness and great hospitality!

It is such a nice place to come home to after a day of excursion for its coziness and in general just a relaxing place to be. Would highly recommend!

Guest House on Derbisheva has a garden and a shared lounge in Karakol. This guest house provides free private parking, private check-in and check-out and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms.

This property was well located, with restaurants, cafes and interesting sites all within walking distance. We loved our hosts Sergei, Ljuba and Bella, who made us feel very welcome - and with a bit of Google Translate to help us with our Russian, they made us feel totally at home. Our room with private bathroom was quirky, comfortable and clean, and perfect for our needs while visiting Karakol.

Tagaytay Karakol Hotel is located in the centre of Karakol, within a 15-minute walk of Pushkina Park, and features a sauna. Free Wi-Fi access is available in all areas. Free secure parking is provided.

This is among the nicest accommodations we have stayed at in Kyrgyzstan. It's located along the main street, but it's separated from the noise of the street. The staff was incredible, breakfasts generous, and rooms VERY comfortable. The wifi was working great. We would enthusiastically recommend Tagaytay!

Featuring a private bathroom, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi. At the guest house, some units are soundproof.

This was a great guesthouse only 10 minutes from the center of Karakol. The owners are extremely kind and spent time to get to know us and talk to us. They also helped us arrange transportation to the local ski resort at a much more reasonable price than we could find ourselves. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Set in Karakol, Guesthouse Liliia offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property has mountain views.

The nearest airport is Issyk-Kul International Airport, 171 km from Guesthouse Liliia.

Perfect small apartment located just outside Karakol city centre. We were very well looked after from the moment we booked and the owners, who live next door, were always quick to answer questions and give reccomendations. The apartment is beautifully presented and was very clean. It had all we needed for 4 days stay, good WiFi, and a big bathroom. Hopefully I will be back!

    The hostess is friendly, helpful n warm. She even packed lunch for me for free for the journey back to Bishkek. She guided me to tour around Karakol like an old friend. Will strongly recommend to stay in her guest house.

    A cosy and spacious room with a comfortable bed. The guesthouse is very quiet, hosted by a kind and friendly older couple. Very centrally located to Karakol. There are good cheap food options in Karakol so we didn't cook but the kitchen is available for guests. Our host was kind enough to let us store luggage while we were trekking.

    Andre and his family are lovely hosts, including his friendly cat. Nice villa, not really central but in a quiet residential area close to river (20mins walk or less than 5mins drive to city centre). Convenience store and a pharmacy right next to the house if needed. Nice fresh homemade breakfast.

    We loved the atmosphere in this guest house! Everything is perfectly clean and organized, the kitchen is a great place to meet travellers and exchange tips. We stayed only one night in this stay but highly recommend it for any traveller that would want a cosy, clean and cheap hostel ☺️
