Guest Reviews

• Milad (9/5): -
• Jude (10/5): - It was a really nice yurt and the bed were super comfortable. The location is phenomenal with Issyk kul lake right beside the yurt and mountains in the background. Hosts were super sweet and gave us great recommendations for where to go.
• Hamid (10/5): - I spent two wonderful days at Yurt Camp Svetlana. It is set in a beautiful fruit orchard right on the shores of Issyk-Kul Lake, making it an incredibly peaceful place to stay. My yurt was surrounded by cherry trees. The hosts are kind, generous, and always willing to help. The breakfast was excellent and a great way to start the day. This is not a place for busy sightseeing or activities. It is a place to relax in breathtaking surroundings, sunbathe by the lake, take peaceful walks, and spend the evenings gazing at stars. Yurt Camp Svetlana is a wonderful place to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan.
• Ibrahim (10/5): - Location was close to all canyons main sightseeings in the south of lake, and 5 min away from the lake. Breakfast was good, but could be better
• Tuhin (10/5): -
• abdülkadir kemal (10/5): - Everything was very nice, clean and in nature.
• Mohamed Abdul (10/5): Amazing! - Kind and respectful family! Location is nice especially next to the lake! It was kinda cold during the night in the room.
• Jayden (10/5): - Beautifully located guest house right on Issyl Kul. The yurt was incredibly nice and there was nice showers and toilets right behind them. The lake was a 5 minute walk away. The camp is an easy 10 minute taxi from Bokonbayevo.
• MICHAL (9/5): - Very nice owner,always helpful.The location is comfortable,near the lake with a very nice view.You need to have a car,preferably 4×4 but we managed with a normal car,parking on site.Bathroom and showers are shared but no problem with warm water It was quite cold in yurt at night (we were late May) but for 1 night we managed that.
• Yağız (9/5): -
• Felipe Beleza (10/5): - Everything. The location is beautiful, the yurts are super clean and well-maintained, as are the bathrooms. The main yurt has tea and coffee, and the owner is very friendly and attentive. She even prepared dinner for me without me asking. Very kind. I highly recommend it and hope to return someday. There aren't any markets or restaurants nearby, but since I already knew that, it wasn't a problem.
• Carlotta (10/5): -
• Temirlan (9/5): -
• Hendrikus (9/5): - Perfect guest house, very clean and tidy, good food and very hospitable host. Value for money. Highly recommended
• Robert (10/5): Excellent yurt stay right by the lake, with great food and very welcoming staff - Excellent place, right by the lake. Very comfortable yurt with great facilities. The staff were wonderful and helpful, we had a birthday in the group and they gave us flowers, birthday cake and a birthday hat. They even gave us a lift into town to catch a minibus at the end. Thoroughly recommend! N/a

• Bird (10/5): Very lovely couple that own the yurt camp, good breatfast, great location right next to a beach on the lake. Fantastic f - Yurt with a lakeside view
• Michal (10/5): - Trudno opisać w kilku zdaniach: wspaniali gospodarze, pełni życzliwości i cennych rad. Pomagający w każdej sytuacji. Atmosfera jak u babci na wsi w dzieciństwie 😀 Do tego lokalizacja 200m od plaży A nocleg w jurcie to niezapomniane przeżycie! W ogrodzie pełno drzew owocowych, zwłaszcza moreli wiec latem można się częstować. Pyszne posiłki i genialna konfitura morelowa p. Swietlany 😀 Aha, nowe, czyste łazienki i toalety w stylu europejskim Nie było takich rzeczy
• Edgard (10/5): Tolle Erfahrungen! - Wir haben zwei Nächte in den Jurten verbracht – eine wunderschöne Erfahrung! Die Lage ist ruhig, direkt am See und inmitten von Apfelbäumen. Svetlana ist unglaublich herzlich, wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Das Essen war sehr lecker, alles sauber und gepflegt – fast schon zu gut für diesen Preis. Absolut empfehlenswert, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
• Antoine (10/5): -
• Frederick (10/5): -
• Esma (10/5): - Congul was very nice and helpful. She cook traditional food her kitchen clean and she is a good cooker. Location was very close to Yssyk Kul. We like Svetlana Guest House highly come back… highly recommended.
• Marguerite (10/5): - La gentillesse de l’hôte, la proximité avec le lac (moins de 5min à pieds), la propreté des lieux, la nourriture était très bonne, nous y sommes même retournés une deuxième fois pendant nos vacances au Kirghizistan Rien
• Puck (9/5): Super nice stay - The guesthouse is run by a super friendly couple who can help organize transport and local activities. They cook both breakfast and dinner which are varied and delicious. There are both rooms and yurts, both very nice. The beach is a few minutes on foot. Unless driving your own car transport is not as easy as in less remote places but still fine. The owners can organize taxis or in some places drive themselves. We also managed to hitchhike a couple of times to/from the main road with no problems. Just something to be aware of.
• Rosie (10/5): - Svetlana's place is just amazing. The location is beautiful, it's a small family run place, just two yurts and two or three rooms. The homemade food is absolutely incredible. We stayed in a room rather than a yurt, it was large and cool and the shared bathroom was only shared with one other room. It's a peaceful place, they have made a little orchard, there's swing seats and benches to relax and enjoy the environment, clothes racks for drying swimming stuff and two minutes walk from the lake. We liked everything
• Filip (10/5): -
• Regina (10/5): Man fühlt sich wie zuhause und kommt sehr gerne wieder! - Die Gastgeber:innen dieses familiengeführten Guest Houses sind das Herz dieser schönen Anlage. Sie sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die komplette Anlage ist sehr sauber, gepflegt und schön hergerichtet. Wir haben viele Tipps für Ausflüge wie z.B. Skazka Canyon, Wasserfälle, Salzsee, Hot Springs erhalten und die Angebote der Transporte zu diesen, haben wir gerne angenommen und genossen. Der Yssyk-Köl ist über einen direkten Zugang zu einem kleinen Sandstrand zu erreichen. Abendessen ist möglich und sehr zu empfehlen. Allgemein war das Essen abwechslungsreich und typisch kirgisisch - es gab jeden Tag frisches Obst aus eigenem Anbau, sowie selbst hergestellte leckere Marmeladen. Teeküche ist frei zugänglich. Die traditionellen Jurten sind wirklich wunderschön.
• Kei (10/5): - ・奇麗なビーチまで直ぐそば ・大きいベンチなどのんびりできる施設あり ・部屋が大きい ・食事が美味しい ・リクエストに一所懸命に対応してくれる
• Ylva (10/5): Small, family run guest house next to the sandy beach - Small, extremely friendly family run guest house. Don’t miss to have dinner, it’s truly home cooked. The grandparents have me a lift to Kochkor for a very reduced rate. Nothing .
• Michael (9/5): Nice stay by the lake - Comfy, spacious room with ensuite bathroom Friendly, helpful staff Location close to the lake and in a quiet area out of town
• Nisa (10/5): Geweldig - In één woord voortreffelijk. Onwijs gastvrij gezin, waardoor ik me vanaf het eerste moment thuis voelde. Ze hebben geholpen met tours, en mijn transfer naar de stad met bussen naar de trein terug! Al met al was het top!
• Lysi (10/5): Unforgettable place! Cant wait to return! - There are no words that can describe the experience we had! My partner and I got engaged a week before going on our trip to Svetlana’s Guest House and decided to get married at the lake last minute and to invite anyone we met along our travels to this stunning location; with beautiful orchards, snow capped mountains, magical sunsets, and crystal clear waters. The hospitality, generosity, kindness, and love the entire family and town’s people gave us will forever be cherished as we shared our nuptials with them…. And later celebrated with a party in the cozy large yurt. The food is exceptional, you can tell heart and soul was put into it that filled our bellies with delicious food! From morning to night. The guest houses/yurts are extremely well built made from the barehands of the family. There is always hot water and good wifi reception, cold and hot drinks readily available. We cannot wait until next year to visit again and make this a family tradition, especially once we have children. Svetlana’s Guesthouse isn’t just a place to stay, but an experience to call a new place home where you gain family members for life. We cannot recommended this place enough whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, group, or family! Nothing, everything was perfect
• Anita (10/5): - Erg schone en comfortabele kamer. Vriendelijke eigenaar en super lekker eten. Het lekkerste van onze reis in Kirgizië. We werden hartelijk welkom geheten met thee. Op loopafstand van het strandje. We konden, tegen betaling, onze was laten doen. We hadden de kamer met privé badkamer, maar ook de gezamenlijke toiletten en douches zagen er heel schoon en nieuw uit.
• Irene Adventurette (10/5): - This yurt stay was exceptional. Right on the shores of Issyk-Kul, super warm and comfy, amazing food, modern bathrooms, in an apricot orchard (delicious) and staff were quiet yet friendly. The perfect stay. That I had to leave.
• Necla (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, the best guesthouse! The family takes good care of their guests. The location is awesome, breakfast/ dinner very delicious and everything very clean. The beach is 1 minute walking away 😍. Thank you for making my stay in Issyk Kul unique. I would give you 11 stars, but booking only says 10 Nothing
• Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional - A very relaxing yurt stay next to the beach!!.The family who owns it is very kind and helpful.They made everything to enjoy my staying there.Totally recommend it! Bonus:The homemade apricot jam made from yiayia Svetlana!!!!
• Chris (9/5): A nice yurt and rooms managed by a lovely family - Beautiful yurt Delicious dinner and breakfast Very helpful people Comfortable bed Lakeside location Quite a way from town
• Camille (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse! The welcome was warm and made us feel at home right away. Our room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. The location is perfect: just a short and easy walk to a beautiful sandy beach where you can swim easily. The guesthouse also has a lovely garden full of apricot trees — a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The family who runs the guesthouse was kind and helpful. They assisted us with everything we needed. Highly recommended — we would love to come back!
• Monja (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind and helpful host. Amazing breakfast and dinner was nice too. Great location next to the lake, a nice swimming beach is walking distance away. We could use one of their bikes for free and the dinner yurt is very comfy to hang out in too. Nice garden, and very modern showers and toilets. Would highly recommend. The yurt we stayed in was very cosy and comfy and stayed cool in the heat.
• Romain (8/5): Quiet space by the lake - Spacious, clean, close to the beach. Nice common space. Nice coffee
• Sachin (8/5): Very good -
• Timofei (10/5): A cozy hotel/camp near the shore - A nice place on the shore of Issyk-Kul near a beach Good Wi-Fi, nice meals Very accommodating owner The yurt was warm enough and cozy
• Jan (9/5): Great location close to the lake, cosy yurts and very nice hosts. - It is a very short walk to the beach, no complaint regarding the yurt; the hosts are great, we actually left something behind and they wwere amazing, making sure it was sent to Bishkek and we got it before we left the country. Thanks a million!
• Evelyn (10/5): Exceptional - I loved my stay at Svetlana Guest House. The guest house is run by a very sweet and lovely family who are always willing to help in anyway they can. My room was cozy and comfortable and the bathroom was always clean. The meals served were always delicious and generous, and eating at the guest house also provided a great opportunity to meet fellow travellers. I loved the little details which made my stay special, such as how the apricot jam served is homemade and comes from the apricots harvested from the orchard at the property (which you can enjoy a peaceful walk through). The guest house is located very close to Issyk-kul, which is about a 5 minute walk away.
• Butz (10/5): Very extraordinary place and experience - Absolute amazing stay! I would highly recommend this guest house to everyone visiting this area and chose it again if I ever come back! I stayed 2 nights in one of the two Yurts in the garden. They are very lovely! There is space for three people and an electric heater in case it gets cold in the night. The shared bathroom was just beeing built. The modern and conveniently designed shower room surprised me a lot. The meals are served in a big modern Yurt. The included breakfast was amazing. I also ate dinner there. For 8 € you get a salad, soup, pasta dish and dessert, all vegetarian possible if you ask. The host was lovely and helpful. I was served tea and sweets in the afternoon as well. The beach is a very short walk away. Absolutely nothing bad to remark.
• Gavin (10/5): Brilliant stay - Great spot for a couple of day on the beach.
• Jialiangshen (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy yurts with all necessary amenities. Bathrooms and showers surprisingly nice. Even had fast wifi! Dinner was yummy too Only had 1 shower room and there was a lack of toilet paper
• Niamh (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect stay. The location by the lake was gorgeous, only a couple of minutes to the beach and lots of options for beautiful lake walks. Room was clean and comfortable. Food was delicious!
• Vishnu (8/5): Overall, a warm stay with great hospitality and a tasty local breakfast. - The host is very helpful and welcoming. The location, although a bit tucked away, is peaceful, and the lake is just a short walk away. The homemade breakfast was delicious. The property is in the process of being upgraded, which shows promise for the future. There was no electricity for a while due to some ongoing work by the government. The location is slightly inside and may be a bit hard to find at first.
• Marek (10/5): Amazing accomodation in jurta - Amazing accomodation, we rent jurta on this place. It was comfortable and spacious inside, soft bed and accurate temperature. Enviroment is very peaceful and relaxing. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Host was friendly and kind, breakfast were really good as well. Jurta is located close to Issyk-Kul lake and close to town Bokonbayevo. Taxi or locals are ready to give you a lift around the area if needed. Only thing that I regret is that we didn't book for more nights, because we needed to visit further locations in Kyrgyzstan. Honestly, I can't complain about anything - everything was perfect.
• Evija (8/5): Very good -
• Constantin (10/5): Exceptional - Both Svetlana and here daughter are amazing. I do recommend
• Samuel (10/5): The most amazing stay you could wish for, must visit! - The most amazing, friendly owners you could imagine. Absolutely great experience to stay here, the homemade food for breakfast and dinner was some of the best I've had. For a traditional Kyrgyz stay, you must stay here.
• Albertini_zgz (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice family in super nice place. They gave us all the facilites the could. It's really close to the beach. The room was so confortable and clean. They prepared dinner for us and it was delicious, and of course breakfast too. They also helped with taxis, activities, etc. In this guest house you feel like part of the family If you want to be calm for some days this place is higly recommended!
• Ajay (9/5): Dog-friendly comfortable guest house close to the beach! - Inexpensive, close to the beach, excellent food, pet-friendly
• Peter (10/5): Welcoming Stay near Cristal Clear Water Perfect stay after nature hiking - The stay at Svetlana's Guest House was just what I needed after a long day's drive. We felt welcomed right away, seeing the jurth in the Abrikos garden in moonlight shadow was just magic with snow topped mountains as a backdrop. We were up early to take a long swim in Crystal Clear water. I hope I am able to come back soon again!
• Leo (10/5): Exceptional - Very warm and welcoming hosts, close to the lake and the breakfast is delicious including homemade jam
• Jona (7/5): Good -
• Sašo (2/5): Robbery with a smile 😤 - Very kind hosts, maybe too kind. Clean rooms, on arrival they serve you tea in their own yourt... When you reserve a place to sleep in Booking, you choose by your preferences, like a location, facilities AND price. The price for overnight stay for four motorcyclist was 46,75$. BUT for the breakfast, that was not included in that price and we had anyway, was 63,25$. I prefer dinner in Rome for that money!
