The Hostel has cozy dorm beds and a chilled out vibe - great to meet other travelers. The staff and the volunteers were lovely and nice and really made you feel like home. The breakfast was very yummy and cooked with a lot of love ;) The location was near the bus going to Medeo and near a big supermarket

“Nice people, but improvable management”

The cleanliness of the place is not great (kitchen, bathroom) and the overall organization could clearly improve. The hostel is also not that central in Almaty.
I had a nice stay in Almaty Backpackers. The staff was nice, particularly the French guys and the New-Zealander but the place management could clearly be better. Still a good place though!

Maybe some extra hooks or shelves in the room would be helpful, to organise your thighs. But that’s all I can think of

The staff was complaining to other guests about her boss. There was no luggage storage. You can hear people in the kitchen talk when you are in the dorm. My pillow was very old and worn out. There was a family arriving at 3am and they slept in the dorm with a 4 year old child!
There were a lot of English speaking guests, there was an atmosphere.

“All in all a very recommandable hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
Unfortunately they had a rude guest called Maya which they couldn´t get rid off for over two weeks. The staff tried their best to handle her but the owner didn´t seem to do a lot to kick her out, since she was harrassing and being rude to other guests (me included). Didn´t understand why such a person was able to stay in the hostel for free and such a long time.

- The location isn’t near any public transport or any places of interest. The area is nice though. - I shared a dorm with some guys who had been living in the hostel and working in Almaty for a year; strange for a backpacking hostel. - The hostel is a bit rough around the edges - Only 2 bathrooms/toilets, forget showering in the morning!
- The staff were nice and always on hand.
