The beds seemed a bit short, I’m 1,70 tall and I could reach the end of the mattress with my toes when I took the space on top that I use to take (lying on the belly, arms crossed underneath my head)

Super relaxing and quiet atmosphere, fresh air, coffee/tea all day round, spacious rooms, very friendly and helpful host - definitely worth a stay!

Nothing!

I had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful hostel! From the moment I arrived, the hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The room (I stayed in the female dorm) was spotless, comfortable, and felt perfectly safe, making it an ideal spot for solo female travelers like myself. The garden is a lovely place to relax after a day of exploring, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing. I recommend it 100% and would happily return!

Nothing at all.

Wonderful host! The family is super friendly and helpful. The yurt is very nice. Bed is comfortable and the duvet keeps you very warm. Nice breakfast as well. Wish I could stay longer.

The place is a bit far from the centre, so if you need to go to supermarket/pharmacy/cafe, you need to walk quite a bit or take a taxi.

We stayed in a wooden yurt-alike house. This place is very eco-friendly: everything is made from wood and there is a big garden. There is a cozy living-room to chat. The breakfast was very good. We had a nice chat with hosts who also gave us a lot of tips for our stay.

Fabulous place, delicious food and extremely friendly owners who gave us lots of amazing recommendations of places to visit around Karakol. Would 100% recommend, we loved it!

Warm-hearted hosts, excellent service, very helpful, clean yurts, great experience. Amazing to recharge for our further journey. Thanks to the Happy Nomads family!

Great accommodation option in karakol. Very friendly and helpful family that runs it and a more fun option than a hostel or hotel. A little out of town but the town isn't that interesting anyway. Would highly recommend.

We was pleased with everything :-)

Se stayed in a charming Yurt, and that was a pleaseant experience. We bookes for 3 nights but stayed in total 6 nights, because of the very good Advice and service from the host family. They helped organizing hinkes, horseback riding and also a multiday tour within our stay at the accomodation. Our best recommendations both for accommodation and guiding for an unforgettable stay in a very beautiful area.

Highly recommended to those who want to experience a yurt stay. We really loved our stay for 2 nights - the owner and his family were super warm and helpful suggested us to take a memorable trip to Jeti Oguz and mountain route back to Almaty. They also made a wonderful spread for breakfast! Toilets and the beds were so comfortable and clean and they have a beautiful garden at the yurt site. Location wise is good, near to city Karakol. We miss everything about this place and definitely will stay here again if visited Kyrgystan as they just had the yurt renovation.

Nothing, everything was great!

Great stay in a lovely traditional yurt located in a beautiful garden just on the outskirts of Karakol. The owner and his lovely family were super friendly and so helpful and supportive with everything, they gave us tips and suggestions where to eat and what to do in Karakol. The owner's wife prepared delicious breakfast every morning that we enjoyed having in their beautiful conservatory. The Yurt itself was very clean and comfortable and had plenty of power sockets. The toilets and showers were modern and clean. The owners spoke good English, which we found very helpful. Was one of our favourite stays in Kyrgyzstan and couldn't recommend this gem more highly!

Great stay and nice sleeping in a ‘glamping’ yurt with super nice facilities. What really made it an awesome stay was the host and his family. He helped us plan our onwards travel and spent a lot of time with us in the evening helping us design our trip for the coming days (we were roadtripping in a rented car and wanted to camp in the mountains).

The only slight downside is being just outside of the main part of town, but again, I think the experience was 100% worth it.

While the location is slightly outside of the main part of town, I thought the experience was 100% worth it. The owners have created a magical oasis at Happy Nomad, with comfortable accommodations, tasty food, and a charming setting. The family is absolutely adorable! Highly recommend.

The Yurt camp was lovely, clean and comfortable and very friendly family staff. The Yurts themselves are clean and cosy, cool in the heat of the day and warm enough at night with plenty of power sockets. There is good wifi and good breakfast provided. Showers with hot water and proper flushing loos. When trying to find it, don’t get put off by the backstreets, it is exactly where maps.me and GoogleMaps say it is. The owner and his family were so helpful, giving us tips for places to eat in town and helping us organise kayaking and putting us in touch with a brilliant company for a trek to Ala Kul (a very hard trek but unmissable if you are there). He also helped us plan our drive from Karakol to Osh, through the mountains and via Son Kul, putting us in touch with guesthouse owners in the towns we planned to stay in. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
