Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Imeni Karla Marksa

Short version: Don't look for other options, but stay here:) We stayed longer than initially planned because staying with Gulzat and her family is just amazingly heartwarming. Long version: We had a truly heartwarming stay at Gulzat's and her family‘s guest house. Not only was it an authentic, quiet, and spacious guest house where you immediately feel welcome and as a family member, but Gulzat and her family also went above and beyond to make it a special and definitely the best stay we had at any guest house (not just in Kyrgyzstan): - The food was delicious and home-made from the family‘s animals and garden - we had many different local dishes and sides for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and Gulzat even cooked meat-free meals when she noticed that my wife prefers vegetarian food. All of that in such a nice and heartwarming way that you never feel like „just another guest“. - Their son Taiyr guided us on a beautiful horse ride through the valley and up the rocks and mountains, while being a great guide incl. providing details about the valley‘s history, the local way of life etc. - Recommendation: Just do it, even if you don't have any horse riding experience (like me)! - But what especially stood out from anything we ever experienced on our trips to many different countries: The whole family (Gulzat, her husband, and Taiyr) went beyond anything you‘d expect from a host family! We had an issue with our gas burner (for the planned camping trip) and all three of them invested a lot of their time (even late in the evening) and efforts to find a creative and super-fast solution which Amazon in our home country could only dream of:) Also, they noticed a small damage at one of our car‘s tires and even accompanied us to a nearby repair shop (again with a really nice owner) who fixed it in no time. I would rate 11/10 if I could!

Lovely family with two sweet children. The accommodation was very nice, and the food was excellent. A cozy stay in a beautiful area

Beautiful location within a national park. The decor of the guest house was lovely, and the hosts were very accommodating, preparing dinner for me even though I arrived relatively late in the evening.

Kemin Guest house is wonderfully located in green hilly sourroundings. It is the perfect place to unwind after a busy travel through Kyrgisistan. The Guest house is just 20 km of the main highway towards/from Bishkek. The staff spoke english, they were super profesionel, relaxed and helpful. The food there is great and a definete upgrade from the rest of Kyrgisistan. We really enjoyed the stay.
