Reviews of Yurt camp Sonun

Our stay at sonun yurt camp was very nice. the location of the camp is very good - right next to a sandy beach of the salt lake issyk kul, and not too far by car from the fairytale canyon. The camp itself is very nice, it has a small green courtyard, an inside and outside space for breakfast and lunch, and yurts and private bathrooms!! The yurts themselves were very nice, with beds and comfy mattresses, working electricity and some yurts had other furniture as well (we asked for a table to play cards on and the owner had no problem finding one for us:)) The staff were very kind and helpful, any time we needed anything they did their best to help us out - even offering beach towels and umbrellas for the beach. The camp also has a very cute kitten roaming around for any animal lovers!! Would definitely recommend.

amazing staying on the lake! The yurts were very comfortable with private bathroom outside and the staff very helpful. Amazing food served for breakfast and dinner, highly recommend

Great help from hosts, great price and convenient yurts

It was an absolutely lovely experience. The staff were soo welcoming and friendly. All my activities were booked by the Staff of the Yurk, hassle free. The Yurt itself was super clean and beds were soooo comfortable. Toilet and bathroom new and clean. I really had everything I needed. The surrounding village was lovely very scenic. I suggest you book a horseback ride around. I even put the first Nigerian Pin on their Map which was some nice icing on the cake. I really enjoyed my stay and Would certainly recommend

Very kind hosts, great food! Booking the additional dinner is highly recommended, the breakfast is included anyways and also delicious. Comfy yurts, remarkably clean facilities.

The food was really dilicious and the jurts comfortable. Highly recommend!

The private toilet for each yurt was clean and the water pressure for the shower was strong. The yurt was clean and there was sufficient bedding cover for the night. There was also heating in the yurt. The food was delicious and plentiful for breakfast.

There was little to no communication between the staff and guests during our stay. We didn't feel any warmth towards us.

Quiet, private, close to the lake, within walking distance, delicious breakfast

Only cash payment

Everything is great! The room is super clean and comfy. The toilet/shower is right outside of the yurt. The dinner is amazing too. there's a beach area 100m away from the Yurt camp to enjoy the water of Issyk Kul lake.

Nothing.

This is a very nice camp with yurts. Our Yurt was very beautifully decorated, with 4 beds. There was also electric socket to charge the phone etc. With every yurt there's a private bathroom (just outside the yurt). Everything was perfectly clean. The location is quite nice, very close to the lake. It's a nice walk to the lake and there's also a beautiful sand beach. Not all roads are asphalted, but a normal car will do and Google Maps will bring to you to the right place. Breakfast was included and was very good. We also ordered a dinner (800 som), we got a lot of good food, even after 22:00! The staff was very friendly and speaks both Russian and English. We really enjoyed staying here and would be happy to come back again. The camp books out very fast, so if you see available yurts, book fast!

The ppl are very welcoming and the food is really tasty. Totally recommended to have dinner there. Also the breakfast is amazing.

Warm welcome from the host and clean accommodation.

Super nice yurt camp with a lot of luxury. You can chill outside, normal toilets, clean showers with warm water. The food was super yummie and worth the price. Staff is very good with english and helpfull.

Comfortable and cosy yurt

Very lovely yurt camp close to the lake. We had the yurt with double bed which was very comfortable. Every yurt has its own outdoor private bathroom with shower as well! Water was very warm and shower was amazing. There is wifi. Food is delicious. We did a horse riding tour and eagle show demonstration with them and it was great.

A Magical Stay in a Traditional Yurt on Lake Issyk-Kul – Unforgettable Experience! My stay at the yurt hotel on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan was nothing short of extraordinary! The traditional yurts provided a unique and immersive cultural experience—they were cozy, beautifully decorated with vibrant textiles, and surprisingly comfortable. Waking up to the serene views of the turquoise lake and snow-capped mountains from the yurt’s doorway felt like a dream. The food was an absolute highlight! Every meal was bursting with flavor, showcasing fresh local ingredients and authentic Kyrgyz dishes. The dinner was particularly memorable! Another unforgettable part of the trip was the horse riding excursion. Galloping through lush meadows and along the lake’s edge, surrounded by pristine nature, was both thrilling and peaceful. The guides were knowledgeable and ensured a safe yet adventurous ride, perfect for both beginners and experienced riders. If you’re seeking a blend of culture, nature, and genuine hospitality, this yurt stay on Lake Issyk-Kul is a must. I left with a full heart, incredible memories, and a deep appreciation for Kyrgyzstan’s beauty. Highly recommend!

Good communication Organising trips and taxi Kids and dog is a must Beautiful dinner

Not on the lake as I wrongly expected But short walking distance The lake area was quite dirty and not looked after. Rubbish everywhere which was very upsetting.

Nice and very friendly personal

You can’t lock door and when you leave room you need to take all valuable stuff with you. So I had a shower together with my wallet, phone and passport

It is my first and not the last stay in Sonun camp. I can’t explain why, but I feel like I’m home here. Cozy and comfortable place in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Don’t worry about facilities, meals or staff - everything is great!

It's not easy to get here, but it's worth it. You will not regret.
