“Nice yurt with lake view. Comfortable beds and good food and delicious bread. The accommodation is located on the mountain and you need to go down a long and steep staircase to get to the beach, which is a public and well-visited beach.”
“There was a dead mouse with flies and maggots in the first room given to me. Attention was lacking. They gave me another room and apologized. There was a live mouse in the next room. Careful with bringing groceries, but this is necessary as no dinner was available. The owner didn’t seem too interested in providing a good experience but maybe it was a cultural and language barrier.
I didn’t like the floodlight 100 ft outside my room. Darkness to be able to appreciate the stars fully would be……
“Nice view on the lake, new rooms with modern designs, clean.
Not organized kitchen.
Very unfriendly woman receptionist. Just on arrival hot water in shower ended. We were asked to change the room, where shower was better but tap didn't have hot water all the stay.
When we arrived to breakfast(8 to 11 am) at 10 am, there were only empty dirty plates, fruits, some veggies and cakes. On our questions we were told that we still can eat what is left. After some arguments they brought some sausages……

The big advantage of Novel is its frontage to a pleasant and private beach that although……
“When we checked into our rooms, we noticed that the bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was hair in the drain, and the tiles had a slimy feeling. The bathroom was clearly not cleaned. We contacted the manager, and the bathroom was properly cleaned the following day. Overall, the accommodations are not bad; however, you need to be aware that there is not a lot of privacy in the A-frames. The manager promised us that the large windows were reflective and not see-through, but in the evening,……
“My booked house was taken, and instead of it they give to us an ugly apartment looks like warehouse, for price comparable with Sheraton in Bishkek. We urgently looked up for new hotel, in unknown city at night. It was terrible but then we find another hotel and moved out. Owners said that money for booking we payd with Expedia still on hold and they cannot refund and I must call to Expedia. Expedia open ticket and for two days there was no news, but then they said than they cannot refund my……
