    This place is truly a hidden gem! The Grandma who owns the house is so kind and warm-hearted. I stayed here for 3 days in a private single room — it was quiet, comfortable, and I felt really at ease. The price is also very reasonable! I highly recommend staying at Mukarama-Apa!

    The person who runs the hostel is lovely and friendly and so helpful. I ended up having to break up my stay after originally planning to stay 5 days in a row and she was lovely and only had me pay for the 2 nights I did stay which was lovely.

    N/A

    I didn't expect it would be so nice and comfortable this place. The price is very cheap. Service is excellent. I came at 2 a.m., and the owner welcomed so warmly. I haven't been in kyrgyzstan for 15 years, so many things have changed. Thanks, Mukaram apa owner. She gave me so much advice, I didn't have a problem finding the places ... Backyard is a pleasant place , so many fruit trees. You could enjoy seeing the greenery. Between 10 pm and 8 am is quiet, I couldn't rest from long flight. The property is clean and tidy. Mukaram apa cleans every day. Wifi is free, it was so important for me I could use it all the time. The owner has 2 refrigerators, where people can put their food. I didn't have a chance to use it because all the time I was outing to enjoy local restaurants food. Since the owner is a retired doctor, she is carrying a lady. I got a lot of support from her. I had an awesome experience in Kyrgyzstan because I chose the right place to stay. I will definitely come back to this place.

    The lady who owns the hotel was very friendly, intelligent and gave me the maximum welcome; I enjoyed talking with her about many things using Google Translate. The coffee with her homemade milk and jam was very memorable. Her son spoke English and was very helpful. It is convenient to walk to most places. I'll come back to stay again!

    mukarama mom is the best person in the world, she does everything to make you feel like you are at home in another country, everything in the house is sufficient and useful, hot water and internet are great, you can easily go and stay without thinking about anywhere else, it is in a location where you can easily reach the city center and shopping malls, there is a garden in front of her house where you can have a great time, next time I travel to Bishkek I will have a house there, mukarama mom
