    I felt like that some places could use some good cleaning - the showers smelled very moldy and i saw a larva/worm on my bedsheet and some more on the floor in my room

    Staff was very helpful, informative and nice and the overall design of the hostel is creative and and cool. The staff also gave us a lot of recommendations for places that we needed. Great place with great atmosphere!

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. It is so spacious with a lot of room for creativity in the freelance zone. Staff are so friendly and always down to help. The AC in my room was working very well which was perfect for the hot July weather in Bishkek. The coolest people stay at this hostel!!

    As always, I chose to stay at Ololo Freelanders — such a great place! Special thanks to the “Conductor” — the owner who truly lives up to this title. He doesn’t micromanage, but sets the tone and direction, and you can really feel it: the whole team works in harmony. The receptionist was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Bravo to the whole crew — keep it up!

    Absolutely outstanding stay at OLOLOFREELANDER! The atmosphere was vibrant, artistic, and truly one-of-a-kind. A special thank you to Akylai — her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made my experience unforgettable. She’s a rare talent in hospitality and deserves every opportunity to grow in her career. Highly recommend both the hostel and this incredible team!

    Overall good hostel but not really meant for travellers

    The neighbourhood is weird and I felt a bit unsafe when I first arrived but it was okay in the end but it's quite far from the center at least 2-3km. I didn't like the other girl at the reception she acted nice at first when she checked me in but then she kept ignoring me for the rest of the time. I don't like the vibe of the hostel it's not really meant for travellers but for people who wants to work there or live for cheap price, therefore there are weird people being loud after 10pm thinking they own the place.

    I liked one of the staff she was nice despite the fact that she didn't speak English. She was always smiling and she always made breakfast. The rooms were nice and clean there is 3 beds in each room so technically it can host 6 people. Facilities are clean and new and there is a huge kitchen with all the equipment you need.

    Some people might mind the occasional train passing by, but that only happens a few times a week, it run slowly and does NOT wake up from sleep. No problem

    I lived in ololo Freelander for 3 months as an exchange student. Being a guest of this hostel is like being part of Friends-like series life. There are so many spaces for leisure that you can always find a suitable activity and a "sparring partner". The working space allows you to work late into the night. The semi-professional kitchen can be used by every guest. There is always enough space in the dining room at any time. Constant care for the cleanliness of the common areas, immediate washing and drying of clothes - anytime you need, the ability of the staff to help in difficult situations easily saved me from despair. Regular workshops, organization of trips to nature or for entertainment. I would love to stay and be a part of the family again.

    Perfect for a stay in Bishkek, I would come back again

    The hostel is at the end of an alley behind a swimming pool. When it gets dark, it can seem a little unsafe, but it's not. Due to its location, however, it is not that easy to find. And it takes a while to get to the centre, but you can quickly reach Osh Bazaar, for example. The hostel is not very social. The co-working atmosphere means that everyone does their own thing.

    I had originally planned to stay just one night at Ololo, but in the end it ended up being six nights. The hostel is very clean, the rooms are big enough and the Wi-Fi is really good. It is cleaned every day. You have your own power socket, a small shelf and a small light by your bed. It is possible to do a late check-out for a 50% surcharge, which I took advantage of. However, luggage can also be stored in the hostel free of charge. There is a large kitchen and a large lounge area. There is also seating outside. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The biggest plus point at Ololo.

    The location is not the best, but worth it if you are planning to spend some time in the hostel. Sauna and swiming pool that are in google maps are not working.

    The facilities are amazing, 10 out of 10, entreteining, ping pong, nice kitchen, amazing common areas and nice wroking places

    Not super social, location could be better, still in the central part of Bishkek but in the far southwest corner off a side street so it’s a bit of a walk or ride to most shopping, dining, and attractions.

    Facilities are very nice and modern, staff is friendly, a private room is excellent value for the price. Feels very spacious and clean.

    It was difficult for the taxi driver to find the location of the hostel.

    I stayed only one night. The common space is spacious. I missed breakfast. I wish I could have stayed longer.

    there’s hardly anywhere in the shower to put your clothes without them getting wet. rooms don’t lock, which isn’t a problem as the lockers are free of charge!

    I enjoyed this hostel so much, I came back a second time! I love that the beds have curtains and therefore offer privacy. the lockers are huge! staff is super nice! all areas are very clean and well maintained! i’ve walked to the city centre which was pretty nice and not too far (there’s also cheap taxis!).

    Good facilities, quality of construction means sounds travel and doors slam. However bring earplugs anyway. Obviously some guests are understandably unaware they are making a lot of noise at 4am, and unavoidable metalworks at 9am (this is still ok). The front door staff speak great English and welcoming, thanks to Emir the Biomed for his recommendations. furnishings facilities and other guests nice, they have a wall showing pictures with guests etc. good for remote workers
