Karakol is a small, charming, village-like town located at the foot of the mountains. The views are spectacular, the air is tasty-fresh, the food is diverse and as organic as it gets; most importantly, people are open, welcoming, a little reserved at first, but ready to help once you approach them.
Infrastructure and buildings are decayed, but it only adds to the charm of the town if you are open to go through a little hardship here and there, especially if you are arriving from a megapolis.
Karakol offers a few interesting museums and galleries, but the main attraction is that it is an intermediary place to starting your journey exploring peaks, gorges, vallies, hot springs and all the other natural gems that Kyrgyzstan offers its guests. The town itself has very interesting history and a crazy mix of many ethnic groups (Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, Dungan, Russian, Korean, German, Uzbek, Uyghur, Tatar, etc). Find yourself a local friend (easier to do in Kyrgyzstan) and he/she will open up doors to many other amazing sides of Karakol.

You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination.
You can easily stay one week or longer in this destination. There is everything you may expect from Kyrgyzstan: lake Issyk Kul just a few Km from Karakol, amazing mountains with lost od different treks: one-day or multiple-day. I suggest to definitely climb to Ala Kol lake, visit Teleti valley or go up to the pass, immerse in hot springs in Altyn Arashan, or if you need a modern structure go to Ak-Suu thermal pools. Jeti-Ögüz is a 100% must see, or go to Jargalan valley and admire dozens of semi-wild horses, rent one of them and enjoy the view to the world from horseback. Buy some local hand-made products e.g. shirdak carpets, taste awesome local cuisine (esp. lamb, plov or manty) and don't miss local market in Karakol, wooden Holy Trinity Cathedral, unusual architecture of Dungan mosque or Sunday animal market in the town suburbs.

Karakol has a lot to offer about the beautiful nature,but government should start to develop the infrastructure for this city more.,should install street light in all street,cuz traveler are coming more and more to Kyrgistan.If tourist feel safe enough even during the night the business in town will get more income from tourist .And the street should be upgraded .

We stayed in Karakol for 2 nights - before and after our hike to Ala Kol lake. I would recommend bringing camping gear from your home country as the shops in Karakol aren't great. There are companies though that you can rent tents, cooking gear etc. if you prefer. Karakol has few cafes and restaurants (we tried Cat Cafe and Meeting Point) aimed for overseas travelers but also places to try local culinary (unfortunately the highly recommended place was closed for Eid).

The lovely reception and treatment by the hostess exceeded our expectations. Her hospitality and ever-ready willingness to help us out with any query or arrangement made our stay here the best stay that we had in Kyrgyzstan. Thank you for having us!

The town is very flat and was not what we expected.
The town is very flat and was not what we expected. It had all the things we needed (restaurants, convenience stores, petrol stations) and was easy to get around. The museum was well worth the visit. The cathedral we only saw the garden and outside. It was a lovely unique piece of architecture. The real attractions are the mountain passes and valleys.
This family run hostel deserves 11 not a 10!
The amenities, wifi, rooms, toilets, kitchen, showers, nearness to everything, serene location and especially the lovely, professional Janyl who speaks fluent English (and her adorable 2 daughters and equally lovely husband) were excellent….if you’re in Karakol I can’t emphasise the reasons you should stay here….thank you for your warm, genuine, kind and helpful demeanour….wont hesitate to return to your delightful hostel.
Very lovely place with helpful staff. People come to Karakol for trekking in the nature, therefore the staff have very good connections with trekking organizations, transporters and ... so everybody can arrange a good hike with their help. they can arrange transport to Karakol valley and reserve Yurt if you want to do the Ala-Kul trekking. Rooms and kitchen facilities are good. Located in a good, safe and calm place.
One of the best options in Karakol. Nice bar for meeting other travelers. There is another cozy living room, a bit more quiet, useful when I needed to have work calls. Very good internet, totally suitable for working remotely. The blackboard for finding other travelers is a great idea. The owner helped us with taxi to Karakol Valley and book yurt camp in Ala Kul. Nice garden area
I will say right away: I haven’t t lived in other hostels in Karakol, but this one is the best.
This is not just a hostel, this is a community of people who travel, go to tracks, share experiences and have fun.
I really like this kind of hostel and highly recommend to stay here.
P.S. There are no questions about the living conditions, there are even curtains on the beds ☺️
Beautiful yurt stay in Karakol. The inside of the yurt was decorated in a lovely way, the beds were comfy and the blankets were warm as it can get chilli in the mountains. The facilities were all really new and clean. The hosts were generous, friendly and informative and the breakfast that you can purchase as an option delicious. You won't be disappointed!
We spent 2 weeks traveling around Kazachstan and Kyrgyzstan and this was by far the best place we stayed at. The owner spoke perfect English and was very nice and helpful. The hotel was spotless clean and very nicely decorated. There is a big communal kitchen to use where they also serve breakfast. It is right in the centre of Karakol.
Janyl is an amazing owner who does everything she can to make your stay in Karakol a great one. She gave us great recommendation for restaurants, hikes, buses to take, and how much to pay for taxis so we didn't get ripped off. The room we had was spacious and clean. We also appreciated the water filter in the kitchen.
Lovely and very helpful hosts who speak wonderful English. Rooms are very comfortable (more of a guesthouse than hostel). Stayed here before and after a trek and loved the comfort of the rooms and kindness of the hosts that we extended our stay. Very good value for money, highly recommend to anyone visiting Karakol.
Everything about the stay was excellent. The host takes care of everything you want to do in Kyrgyzstan. She arranged our transportation from Bishkek and helped us plan all our day trips. She basically helps you with everything you need at the most reasonable price.
The host is very friendly. The bathroom is spacious, clean, and has warm water. The rooms are cozy and each bed has an outlet, which is convenient. After checking out, we kept our luggage for free. If I go to Karakol again, I will stay here again.
Very nice tiny hotel in the center of Karakol. Wooden design, nice breakfast, very friendly team. Owner and his family manage it very well. They also very helpful with different questions I had including excursions, city advice etc.
Absolutely can recommend staying here. I came back a few times. Good to meet other travelers, and explore Karakol. Nursultan and his wife are both super friendly and helpful! Facilities are good and price is unbeatable in Karakol.
Sweetest staff we met in all of Kyrgyzstan. The young couple servicing the place were very helpful and charming and if me and my girlfriend come back to Karakol, we will surely come back.
Good stay to get to ala kul & first have an eve in karakol. Host was really nice and helped us out with a lot of practicalities. The room was very decent and breakfast was ok!
I absolutely loved this little guesthouse in Karakol. Great location and the price can’t be beat. The owner was very helpful in offering advice on trekking in the region.
Good location, nice room, very friendly staff, we made this hotel as our point of reference in Karakol, and we loved to return to it after the trekking we did.
