A very friendly non-commercial hostel with lots of vibrancy and character both inside and out. The owner and international volunteer are very friendly and sociable and the overall design reflects that. It is one of the least pricey hostels in Karakol and it is definitely a safe and reliable option. The bathroom and bed were clean, and use of the washing machine is a reasonable 150 soms, and there is complimentary tea, coffee, and a usable kitchen should you wish. Would recommend to all. 8.5/10.

There's only one bathroom available and it combines the washbasin, toilet and shower. So usually there's some waiting involved.

A simple hostel for laid back travellers. The part I loved the most was the apricot and pear trees in the back. The kitchen is very well stocked, laundry is cheap, and the hosts are super friendly.

Our favourite place in Kyrgyzstan, and it wasn't even close. We ended up staying an extra 2 nights on top of our original 2 night booking as we just loved the apartment room and the rest of the facilities. Top marks to Sandro who was immensely helpful and kind, throughout our stay and is not your typical hostel host (ask about his hitchhiking...). Our room was perfect, not fake-luxury or bland and monochrome, it felt like staying in a close friends apartment but all to yourself. Maps, guides, books, the room and wider building has a completely authentic feel - because it is. Washing machine, as well as other key amenities, are all onsite for your convenience. Thanks again Sandro and best of luck.

Nice and quiet place. All the necessary equipment are there, the team is really helpful. We stayed 3 nights and we will come back to rest after our trek.

Very cozy, clean, we quickly felt like home, perfect place to relax before and after hike. You can also do the laundry by yourself and hang it outside which we found really convenient. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite places to stay during my travels in Kyrgyzstan. Very uncomplicated and honey, lots of free/shared stuff and comfy beds. Will provide you with all the information you need for the area.

Amazing host, super nice homestay atmosphere 🥰 quite place with outdoor garden. Simple but authentic Kyrgyz accommodation. Aida always has a smile and makes you feel at home, and she speaks very good English too 😉 Kitchen available, laundry service, tent and mats rental at a very good price. Walking distance from the city centre. Totally recommend!! You also have a very good massage centre just around the corner, ideal if you come back from an extenuating trek!

The bed was like a hammock, sunk in very deep. The bathroom doesn't lock, I was walked in on 2 times. Too many people sharing the one bathroom

Kind owners, nice kitchen that is usable and a grocery store close by, nice garden space. Great for the price.

Cutest place in Karakol with amazing hosts, a super nice garden, and super close to down town. This place draws very chilled adventurers :)

We stayed in this amazing accomodation recently. We planned to stay only 1 night, but then we decided to stay 2 nights, and if we have more days of holiday, we definitely stay longer. Eagle's Nest has a good location, easy accesible from any important location in Karakol. It is larger rural and older house, but it was very comfortable for us. As soon as we came inside, we felt really good, and it was amazing during our whole stay. Aida is a manager of this place, she is very kind, friendly and smart. She helped us a lot and gave many practical advices about Karakol and places around. Our room was small, but very cosy, we met here many travellers from all around the world, this made Eagle's Nest even more interesting. I need to say that this is not a 5 star hotel, but it is exactly the place where I can relax without stress from busy, urban and "modern" life. Thank you for this accomodation, we have many good memories, and I believe that God will give us an opportunity to come back again.

Unfortunately there is only one toilet,basin and shower room which could present some inconvenience when the hostel is full

This hostel has a very homely feel There are plenty of places to relax and meet fellow travellers The owners and staff are delightful and are able to help with all questions about Karakol. There is a well equipped kitchen and a large Globus Supermarket literally round the corner 5 minutes away Highly recommended for a chilled stay Mike

The absolute NICEST people!! Rufa & Aida, thank you for making my stay at Karakol so lovely. Bringing chocolates & the room upgrade on my birthday meant more than you'll know, plus the hostel itself was exceptional in so many ways. The outside hammock + garden + swing were highlights. You are all awesome, thank you all a ton :)

My first night I had a bed that was more like a glorified beach lounger. It was more comfortable to sleep on the floor! The second night I had a normal bed. Definitely the type of bed you get really influences your comfort levels.

Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and I felt that atmosphere was very homey, which is sometimes rare in Karakol hostels. Location is nice and quiet but close enough to center.
