Guest Reviews
- David (10/5): - Voor mensen die op een budget zijn en nog steeds een fantastische tijd willen hebben raad ik dit hotel aan! Ze hebben hostel kamers, die een stuk goedkoper zijn, maar comfortabel en gezellig. Ik heb hier vrienden gemaakt met iemand uit Thailand en Korea en heb met hun drie dagen gesnowboard. Het ontbijt is fantastisch ook voor vegetariërs! Sauna en zwembad zijn ook super fijn.
- Kedar (1/5): - No refunds
- Эдуард (8/5): - Свежий воздух, живописный вид, небольшой, но уютный номер , в номере было все самое необходимое.
Бассейн с красивым видом, хорошая сауна.
Круто, что в раздевалках есть зона для чаепития, можно выпить вкусный, горный чай. Телевизор, он часто сам по себе выключался и перезагружался.
Если вы приходите на завтра уже ближе к 10 утра, то буфет будет очень уставшим. Завтрак средний.
- Weera (10/5): เยี่ยมมากไม่ผิดหวัง - ที่พักดี มีน้ำอุ่น -
- Vibha (4/5): -
- Замира (10/5): -
- Cristina (8/5): Recomendable si estas dispuesto a pagar bastante - Justo lo que buscaba, zona de naturaleza con piscina climatizada y sauna para escapa de relax.
Para los amantes del esquí ideal porque justo allí empieza el acceso a pistas.
Restaurante bueno. Habitación minúscula, la cama tenía que estar pegada a la pared por un lado y no había sitio donde dejar las maletas. En el único hueco que había nos impedía abrir bien la puerta del baño. Nos molestó sobretodo por lo que pagamos y porque estando allí 4 noches no nos dieron una habitación más cómoda.
Restaurante también algo caro pero igual que los otros dos de la zona (supongo que se aprovechan del dificil acceso)

- Alina (9/5): - Нам все понравилось. Сервис хороший. Особенно приятно было, что бассейн тёплый и сауна с видом на горы 😍 завтрак шведский стол, вкусно и достаточно разнообразный.
- Yuliya (10/5): -
- Antinova (9/5): - Хороший завтрак было даже кофе! Цена за номер и не было дешевых номеров.
- Iqbal Singh (10/5): - Hot pool Everything was good
- EAINI AHMAD (10/5): Best stay at Shymbulak Ski Resort. - I had a wonderful stay at Shymbulak Ski Resort. The overall service was excellent — the staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout my stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the buffet breakfast had a very good variety and quality.
The facilities were a big plus: the sauna and heated pool were perfect for relaxing after skiing, and the ski equipment storage area was very convenient. The best part is the location — the resort is right in front of the ski slopes, which makes access incredibly easy.
For anyone looking to ski near Almaty at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Shymbulak. The accommodation, equipment rental options, and location offer great value.
I will definitely come back again. Just one item to improve is the shower seems clogged but was rectified rigth away by the hotel.

- Нурсултан (10/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): Я в восторге! Спасибо! Рекомендую! Цена соответствует качеству! - Локация отеля, сауна с видом на горнолыжный склон. Отель требует реновации.
- Damir (10/5): - the room is nice, worth of money The doors to the bathroom sounds really bad, 6 bedrooms using it in night can wake others up
- cagrı (10/5): - Bidaha gelmeyi düşünüyorum
- Marc Andre (10/5): - The view from the sauna is something! Not enough English speaking people.

He helped me a lot .This guy's super nice and helpful – when I left he saw me struggling with my heavy luggage and went out of his way to help me all the way to the car. Made my trip end perfectly. Really hope I can come back for skiing again!
- Zhadyra (9/5): Зимой хотелось бы ещё раз заехать, в целом очень понравилось. - Номер полулюкс очень удобный и чистый, просторный. Есть бассейн и сауна. Бассейн теплый и чистый, можно вечером купаться. Персонал очень приятный, всегда готовы помочь. Гостиница близко расположена к горам. Завтрак не разнообразный
- Maiche (9/5): Nice stay and good memories - Very good None
- Aizhan (5/5): - сам номер просторный, но нет ремонта давно… обои страшные! ванная комната маленькая, а душ вообще молчу…запах специфический…
единственный поют это вид!
если честно полное не соответствие цены и качества!
- Айдын (10/5): -
- Vladimir (10/5): - Каждый год останавливаюсь здесь и с каждый разом вижу улучшения, что радует
В этом году завтрак вынесли в более просторную зону и не надо толпиться теперь
- Amit (8/5): DEFINETLY EVERONE SHOULD VISIT THIS PLACE - PROPERTY WAS GOOD AND THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL. ONLY CONCERN WAS THER VERY LESS OPTION FOR VEGITEARIAN PEOPLE. THEY ONLY PROVIDE BREADS, ONE OR TWO CERALS, FRUITS AND SOME RICE ITEMS, WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH .
- Sirisha (10/5): Breakfast here, is the best so far of my stay in Almaty ( 8 days). They have huge varietie for the breakfast! Great for - Klein ( a male staff at the reception ) was helpful, spoke fluent English.
Sauna is great to heal the body after Snowboarding. In the sauna room, they prop sauna hats, and tea/water. There is a hot swimming pool too. I stayed in the dormitory room with 6 others. There is a huge locker inside the room, in all your amenities will be there. You can even keep your suitcase inside, it’s that big. The staff responded to all my questions on WhatsApp even when I was not in this county. Nothing
- Салават (10/5): -
- Moosa (8/5): -
- Семейкина (9/5): -
- Napaporn (8/5): - โรงแรมน่ารัก ใกล้กระเช้า
สระน้ำอุ่นแต่ไม่อุ่นมาก ยังหนาวอยู่ ถ้าอุ่นกว่านี้จะฟินมาก
ห้องโอเค เหมือนจะมีฝุ่นๆเพราะพรม หรือผ้า
แต่รวมๆโอเค ทุกอย่าง สระน้ำน่าจะอุ่นกว่านี้
- Bekarys (8/5): - It would be perfect if it had an option of early checkout with reduced price tag than full stay
- Akhil Mohan (9/5): The stay is comfortable in the mountain range which is an awesome experience ! - The room was okey with a beautiful view.The size is for a family of 3 only.The location is nice, but transport to the hotel is via only cable car ( paid by customer separately ) or by electric car ( hired by customer) which all are separate payments. It will be great if transport to the hotel is provided by the hotel or even the transport of luggages. The breakfast options can be improved a bit more.

- Mohamed (10/5): It was great - Good location & view The food is bit expensive because of the remote location maybe, but still, also they give only 2 small waters for the stay, which isn’t enough for 2 people.
- Aydogdiyew (10/5): -
- Barakat (10/5): -
- Anunanda (9/5): - The first impression was that it’s an old hotel, but once we entered, it didn’t feel that way at all. The staff were very helpful, the food was good, and the view was spectacular — we loved every bit of it. It was also my husband’s birthday, and when I informed the restaurant team and requested a complimentary cake, they surprised us by bringing it to our table during breakfast. We truly appreciated the gesture and the warm hospitality.
- Jane (9/5): -
- Jane (8/5): Its quite good - The property is too far that even the Yandex Go can't go to the hotel; it's only if you book to the hotel for the transport and also limited food choices on the breakfast, but other than that all is good from the staff and the facilities.
- Abylaibek (10/5): - Потрясающий вид из окна номера. Наличие всех необходимых принадлежностей в номере. Распалагающая к отдыху видовая сауна и бассейн. Завтраки достаточно сытные и окна чистые. Можно посидеть на террасе. На балконе лежал снег и его не расчищали.

- CJ (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We stayed for one night at Shymbulak Mountain Resort and felt so lucky to experience the beautiful snowfall in the morning — such a magical moment! ❄️ The room was cozy and comfortable with a lovely mountain view. We had a late lunch when we arrived and dinner as well — both were delicious and served with great hospitality. 🍽️ Breakfast had only a few selections, but it was still satisfying, and the free manual coffee was amazinggg! ☕️ A perfect short stay to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere.

- Юлия (10/5): - В этом отеле останавливаемся не в первый раз. Отличная возможность отдохнуть: комфортно, чисто, уютно в номере, удобная кровать, замечательные сауна с бассейном. Сейчас прохладно , а на балконе на креслах нет каких нибудь тёплых покрытий- меха или подушек. Хочется подольше посидеть на балконе, но- быстро замерзаешь...
- Kushal (10/5): -
- Weetara (10/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Сауле (10/5): Очень уютно, тепло, чисто и вкусно. - Чистый номер, приятно мягкие постельные белье, полотенца и халаты. Завтраки сытные, вкусные, посуда целостная и чистая. Нужно обновиться 🤗
- Matt (10/5): Great stay - Fantastic place. Location and view from the room was stunning. Staff are friendly and professional. The heated pool and sauna were perfect after a long day hiking. Food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again.
- Mona (8/5): Happy family ❤️ - Location, staff , the restaurant .. beautiful lady in the reception she was so helpful and nice 👍 The beds where not comfortable ☹️
- Amer (8/5): - Fantastic location. Just a walk away to the ride No lift
- Raushan (10/5): Понимаю что общий дизайн соответствует теме туризма, но напротив ресепшена я бы убрала эти национальные протёртые одеяла - Каждый день восхищалась видом из окна, даже во время завтрака, стеклянные стены позволяли радоваться взглядом на горы!
Даже сидя в сауне, можно смотреть на горы, бассейн тёплый, купались даже холодную погоду. Нет слов от восторга, все великолепно! Немного смутило вид напротив ресепшена
