Ashu Guesthouse

The first impression is charming. Located in a nice natural environment, you can enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. The room seems modern but lack of space for 2 people so suitcases quickly end up under the bed. The food served at dinner is quite good but the price for a bottle of wine is relatively high. On this occasion, a look at the prices offered for a small jar of jam or honey allows you to see that the prices charged are quite high ($10)... we then begin to realize with the price of the room which is also high for the standard, the guest house is truly a pure place for tourists. The ""best"" part is the guest house's swimming pool, which is actually not included in the high price of the room. Also open to the public, you will charged 600 soms (€6) for an hour. Moreover, Google Translate will be your best friend, as the staff only speak Russian. At the end, at breakfast, there is also only instant coffee, the coffee machine shown in published photos having been removed. So, to conclude, guest house too expensive for what it is.

Excellent guest house in Chuy valley, quiet location and excellent food. The property is clean and has a nice internal garden. We stayed for one night only but it’s a good base to explore the surrounding area. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended

After spending one night in busy and hot Bishkek, it was wonderful to stay at Ashuu Guesthouse in a tiny village in a lush valley with peaceful vibes and starry skies. The room was lovely and the food excellent! The views from the outside terrace, where we had our meals, were amazing. As always in Kyrgizstan - super friendly people!

Located in a small little countryside village this is a rustic quaint guest house built mainly of timber & completely run by cooperate of women. It’s really bigger than a guest house now. There is the main building with the dining room & then other house on the property to house the guests. The rooms are basic but comfortable all with two single beds. The bathroom has a large walk in shower. The rooms do not get serviced until the end of the stay. All meals, breakfast, lunch & dinner, are provided by the women. They are home cooked meals, nothing fancy but very tasty & substantial. There is even wifi on the property that works most of the time. Lots of beautiful scenery & local traditions on display in the area.

This is really a very basic hotel - far too big now to be called a guesthouse. The rooms are well decorated with local handicrafts but they only have narrow single beds. There’s a big dining hall and everyone gets served the same evening meal. It was ok with large portions but nothing special. Breakfast was copious and good. Watch out for additional charges. They were selling a bottle of wine for $30 dollars which we had bought in a restaurant in Karakol for about £5.50. There’s a big lane pool (which costs £5 per hour. They’re also building a big conference centre. It’s in a great location for walking.
