We had a truly wonderful experience staying here. The owners and their lovely daughters were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. Their warmth made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious—fresh and a perfect way to start each day. The hosts went above and beyond to assist us with planning our itinerary and even helped organize transportation, which made everything so much easier. One of the most thoughtful touches was the option to leave behind items we didn’t need for our mountain trek and pick them up later. This flexibility was a huge help. They also offer laundry services, which was very convenient after days of hiking.

Nothing.

Erkin and his family were so accommodating and welcomed us into their home. They spent hours helping us book yurt camps for our backpacking trip and arranging horses too. They really went out of their way to help us and their home was very comfortable!

Very clean guesthouse

Everything about this guesthouse was just perfect! The whole house was like a villa! The rooms were super clean, very new furniture, beautiful design and we slept like babies in the soft beds. The breakfast was really nice and filling with eggs, fruit and bread and the best part about our stay was the kindness of the family! They helped wherever they could and it was a pleasure to talk to them and learn about Kyrgyz culture.❤️ We will be back next year!

There was not enought hot water for every guest in the house- only two bathrooms for a big house.

The whole familly is amazing, very carying and helpful. It felt like finding a secure place in this country.

The guesthouse is rented by a super nice and kind family. The place is just great. Everything is super clean. The breakfast is cooked by the mom in front of you and served in the kitchen. The bedrooms are big, impollute, and the beds are very comfortable. They help you with everything you need and they always find a solution. I truly recommend everyone to visit Karakol to stay in Erkin Guesthouse.

Erkin and his family are absolutely wonderful hosts. The house is spotlessly clean, very comfortable. Lovely breakfast and the location is just a 15 min stroll into the city center. A little supermarket is just opposite. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Erkin‘s. If we ever come back to Karakol we‘ll be back with you!!!!

They lock the kitchen at night so make sure you have enough drinking water :/

Lovely family, the owners are very warm and kind and their children are very sweet and speak excellent English.. The rooms are immaculate, the whole building is obviously newly built or renovated.

Not all amenities may be provided, like shampoo. Anything you request though, they do their best to accommodate.

Walkable to the town center, very clean, and the sweetest family. Hang around and they’ll gladly chat and help with what you need. If you get a chance to eat a homecooked dinner, it’s delicious.

The hosts, Erkin and his family are so great, they welcome me with the additional dinner and tea. Erkin's family will make you not lonely if you're traveling alone. This family have made me known more about Kyrgystan. The guesthouse is near the center of Karakol in walking distance. If I have a chance to go to Karakol again, this is definitely my accommodation. Strongly recommend for this guesthouse..

Perfect guest house in Karakol, but the best part is the family running the guest house. The warmest, kindest hosts you will encounter. You feel like you are a relative staying with them. Highly recommended. We stayed here for 2 nights and was the perfect getaway to visit the city, Jeti Oguz, Altyn Arashan and Ak-Suu Hot Springs

Nothing to dislike here. We will book again to this guesthouse.

The house of Mr. Erkin is huge like a mansion. Hahaha! Upon entering we are provided with slippers. We came late night because of long travel hours from Bishek to Karakol but still they received us with warmed welcome. They are kind, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are comfortable, clean and with nice interior. Regards to his daughters & wife, they are soooo friendly, kind and we have a good talk & laugher with them during meals. I will recommend this guesthouse for those who are traveling Karakol, Kyrgyzstan.

Nothing I can think of

We thank the family of Erkin, they are real warm and hospitality. We arrived late, they came out and showed us the direction to their house. The night was cold and we are real hungry, the mother offered us dinner. They have prepared nice breakfast for us, help us to arrange transport to visit Altyn Arashan hill resort. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and we feel at home. The mother even provided more blankets to make sure we were warm. One thing we noticed Erkin has a very harmonious family, this is what we have to learn and take back home. We recommend travellers to stay in guest house Erkin for for their trip in Karakol.
