"Pros: The hostess was awesome and friendly. We reached around 10 pm for check in and she kept the kitchen open and had the dinner ready for our hungry stomach. The food was awesome and we had a great time there. The place was properly heated and kept us warm among the cold mountains. She spoke english and was very easy to converse. The breakfast was also very good. Cons: We travelled from cholpon ata to this place and the roads were really bad throughout the drive. Not saying as fault of this lodge but general road condition of kyrg. And do NOT trust google map. We were taken to a dead end at Kyrgystan border and we had to take a detour of almost 3 hours. Use 2gis or maps.me for travel in kyrg and use the road through karakol to go to this lodge." ~Mohammad

"Pros: Delicious and hearty meals and excellent location! Would definitely recommend. Things to note: - Was able to accomodate a vegetarian - Dinner is not included in the price but is very fair - Laundry is available at a small and reasonable fee Cons: Thought we could pay in USD (booking.com indicated as such) but some Kyrgz banks won't exchange certain USD notes (could not figure out the rhyme or reason to this). Best to just pay in som! This was not an issue with the accomodation as much as it was with booking!" ~Christina

"Pros: The hosts are super friendly and very helpful. Good breakfast and dinner everyday. Ski in and ski out, the mountains are just waiting for you right outside. Everything was perfect. Good beds and nice view. Thank you" ~Vilde

"Pros: Staying here was a truly special experience. We were welcomed right away with tea, coffee, and delicious traditional treats. Valla is a fantastic cook and an incredibly thoughtful host—she genuinely cares about your comfort, making sure you're warm at night with high-quality sleeping bags and a cozy fireplace in your sleeping area. The Yurt Camp is set in a pristine location, surrounded by majestic mountains and rolling green hills, and it feels completely safe. If you're looking to treat yourself to adventure, heartfelt hospitality, and a peaceful place to connect with nature, you absolutely must stay here. PS: We never experienced or expected such quality, warm showers in such a remote setting :) Cons: Nothing but a positive experience :) Thank you" ~Bjoern
