I will start my review from afar, maybe it will be useful to someone!
Back in the winter of 2024. planning a vacation for the summer, I came up with the idea to go to the island of Alakol Kazakhstan, by the spring they decided not to go, as their soul was not lying. In June, an acquaintance told her husband about the wonderful lake Issy-kul. Without hesitation, we packed our bags, took the children and hit the road! Novokuznetsk-Cholpon-ata, 2400km, by car for 2 adults, 2 children.
Most of the way passed through the territory of Kazakhstan, I will not go into details, I will say only one thing, I was VERY disappointed in the people of this country, there are probably good Kazakhs too, but we did not meet such!
It's very dirty, food poisoning has started, gasoline is cheap, but of disgusting quality, people are angry, organized and aggressive! 🤢
After crossing the border with Kyrgyzstan, we were very pleasantly surprised, cleanliness everywhere, insanely delicious food (no problems with the digestive tract), friendly, responsive people🤗
Now about the hotel!
A wonderful place! The whole family was very pleased! We lived from 07/12/2024-07/19/2024.
4-bed, 2-room room, in one room there is a double bed, 2 bedside tables, wardrobe, TV, refrigerator, kettle, in the second 2 single beds, bedside table, wardrobe, refrigerator, bathroom is located between the rooms. Very clean and cozy!
There are many Russian-language channels on T V.
Wi-Fi is a little weak, but we didn't even pay attention to it, we bought a local SIM card with unlimited Internet for a week for 250 som, it works fine.
Weak water pressure (we lived on the ground floor), but then we also got used to it, as it turned out, there was just some kind of malfunction, a huge boiler for 4 people was installed with more than enough. The water in the pool is quite fresh, but this is understandable, it was a maximum of 25 outside during the day, 15 at night (it's fresh enough, take a jacket), during the day the temperature is enough to swim and sunbathe. The pool is cleaned regularly.
It is better not to eat anything in the room, otherwise the little friends of the ants will live with you.
The territory is not large, but it is not necessary anymore, roses of extraordinary beauty are blooming!
There is a separate shared kitchen where you can cook and eat.
Gazebos are located behind the building.
To the lake, it's not far on foot, but we drove by car, the beaches are clean, sand, t ° of water 21-22, the salt level is not high, there is no feeling of stickiness after drying, parking on the central beach cost 200 som, on the rest 100 som.
Rent a jet ski 800 som - 5 min, sap board 500 som - 1 hour, ride a banana - 300 som, on an inflatable sofa - 500 som.
We ate in cafes, the approximate price tag for one meal for four from 1500-2000 som.
Corn on the beach is 100 som, in the city 60 som.
Money can be changed in the center, the exchange rate was 1 rub.-0.95som.
In the evening, you can visit an amusement park, shoot at a shooting range, ride buns from large slides (dry event).
Bostery is about 8 km away, where you can ride a sailboat and boats, there is a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster. There are more people on the beaches of Bosteri than in Cholpon-Ata, but this is already a moment of taste.
In general, a lot of good memories. This is the place where you want to return! 😍🤗

A very cozy and beautiful small hotel. Beautiful, well-maintained territory. The rooms are very clean. Snow-white towels and sheets. Friendly staff and friendly hostess. It is located near the beach, the bus station and the center. Outside there is a clean swimming pool with sun beds and umbrellas. There is a kitchen with all necessary utensils, an oven, a cauldron, a kettle, titanium, tiles and a slow cooker, as well as tables where you can eat. The kitchen has a heater for the cooler season. There is a barbecue area with gazebos next to the kitchen on the street. The rooms have underfloor heating in the bathroom. Stunning mountain views! I really liked this place.
The hotel is located near the center of Cholpon-Ata. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the bus station, from which minibuses go to Bishkek almost every 30-60 minutes. A quiet place, the central beach and the beach at the Yacht Club are a 10-minute walk away (go in different directions). I ordered through Booking, the description of the hotel and the services provided completely matched.
Away from the main resort bustle, mountain view, very clean and tidy in the rooms. The rooms are fresh and beautiful. There are no breakfasts. Very friendly hosts. The pool is clean and small in the courtyard. According to booking reviews, this is the nicest guest house.
Excellent combination of price and quality. Kind and helpful staff. A huge kitchen with a stove complex. The rooms have all the amenities. There are two beaches and a yacht club nearby from where sightseeing boats go. The bus station is 7-10 minutes away.
A guest house, new comfortable furniture, a wonderful kitchen with a barbecue area, but you need to cook yourself. The beach is not far, not the first line, but it does not bother, 700 meters on foot.
