to get started.

Facilities are clean and the kind host Karlygash is very helpful and hospitable. The beds are not big but comfy. We enjoyed home cooked manti and baursak. The Wi-Fi works intermittently with a weak signal.

Super clean place. Very convenient before visiting Kolsai lakes. Lovely host. Even though my girlfriend and I don't speak russian, communication was no problem.

Glenn, United Arab Emirates

The owner is generally friendly but can be a bit particular at times, she is a great cook however! They waited for us with dinner despite the fact that we arrived late from the lakes. OK value considering that it is full board.

The food was amazing ! Homemade and delicious ! Even thought to ask us at the beginning if we were vegetarians !! The hostess paid a lot of attention to our needs and comfort, and did everything to find us the cheapest transport from Almaty to Saty and back :-)

The homemade meals were decent. There is WiFi from time to time which was a pleasant surprise.

The highlight of our stay was how well my partner and I taken care of by the staffs. Although we checked in late in the evening we were allowed to check out at 2:30 pm the next day. The breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the price. Everything was extremely delicious. The staff arranged the trip to Kaindy lake for only 2000 tenge and hook us up with a tourist bus to Almaty for free. We are extremely grateful for the help. If you visit Saty, do stay at their place. It will save a lot of time looking for what to eat (there are almost no options apart from one market) and energy on arranging trips to Kaindy, Kolsai or Almaty.

“Not recommended”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Budget Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
No hospitality at all - the owner is all about the money. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights, but ended up staying only 1. The lady owner was unfriendly and rather rude, leaving us with an uncomfortable feeling at various times. The door to our bedroom had transparent glass, so we didn't really have a private space. We booked because of the good rating and reviews on booking.com, but were disappointed to have the opposite experience. The bed was clean and comfy, but the bathroom was dirty.

We were overcharged +4 800 tenge ! The guest house was so shabby, that the host herself suggested us to stay one night instead of two . The day after, she demanded extra payment ! After an argument about the price aboit this extra payment, the host expelled us from the guest houst at 7h30 am, with our backpacks and wet clothes, refusing to arrange our way back to Almaty. We paid 4800 tenge of Boking.com fee.

First we decided not to write a review, but the owner asked us to write on booking about four times, so here we go. We where disappointed. Our stay was beneath our expectations based on the reviews and considering the fact that you stay in a sort of home stay/guesthouse. We thought the price was too high for a home stay and the facilities where too basic for a guesthouse. We did not really feel welcome, compared to the small hotels that we stayed in during our trip later that week in Kazachstan. When we arrived in the village we saw several guest houses, so next time we will try our chances in one of the other guest houses.

“A lot or room for improvement at this homestay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Budget Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The homestay fits around 12 beds devided over 4 rooms. None of the rooms can be locked from the outside and ours (the double) even had a see trough window in the door. All rooms share one basic bathroom with a toilet but with no locks or privacy. Unfortunately both our bedroom and the bathroom were lacking the basic cleanliness. The woman running the place is doing her best but is a bit peculiar which can be hard to deal with. Next time in Saty we will try our luck with one of the other guest houses.
The homemade meals were decent. There is WiFi from time to time which was a pleasant surprise.

No place to put your backpack in your room other than the floor. No dark curtains on the windows, and see-through glass on the inside door, so no privacy. Could be cleaner, there was chewing gum on the bed frame. Chinese fleece bed sheets, warm but clingy and they make sparks in the dark from the static discharge. Door of the room was missing a hinge and no keys to the rooms are available. Only one plug in the room. The shower door is missing a lock, could be a problem if there are many guests. The toilet is sit-down but cramped. Wifi is through the cell network so predictably poor considering the location.
The owner is generally friendly but can be a bit particular at times, she is a great cook however! They waited for us with dinner despite the fact that we arrived late from the lakes. OK value considering that it is full board.
