“A little gem!”

Everything! Fab location, fab staff, fab facilities. A great all-rounder and I'd definitely stay there again.

“Great stay + food - highly recommend”

Great place to stay in Karakol - amazing food (highly recommend that you eat here), friendly staff and nice / clean rooms. Stayed here with my parents and we truly enjoyed it

The staff is so good. From the owner who help us with everything every time (even at 7 am or at 11pm) and organized our trekks to every member who is always willing to help with a smile

It's a great place to meet other travelers and find buddies for different treks. Almost everyone has gone to, or was going to do, the Ala kul lake, so it's perfect to get into the mood. The bar has a great selection of local and Western food, as well as drinks and coffees. The room was clean and comfy, there is a big kitchen where you can cook your own meal and relax in the living room.

“The perfect place to stay to re-energise for your road trip. Great food. Great vibes.”

We really needed this stay. It was so comfortable and modern. There were other travellers there too so we could talk to them. They have multiple rooms so you can choose private rooms or bunk beds. We had the private room with our own private bathroom. Best shower in the whole trip! Great food in the restaurant. The best coffee we had in Kyrgyzstan. It’s also located in the best place. We got picked up here to go to Alton-Arashan here. It was perfect. The owner is wonderful. He was so hands on. They have laundry services!!!! I could’ve cried when they gave us clean laundry. Bathrooms were so clean. Staff were so cute and wonderful. 10/10

Wow! Perfect place to start your hiking adventure! It has everything you need: good beds with curtains, amazing food (I had Azu and scrambled eggs on toast with cheese) and decent coffee, fast laundry service, shared kitchen for cooking. But the most important thing is the hostel staff: eager to help, giving advice on transport and hiking, friendly and hospitable. You can even book yurts for an overnight stay while trekking in the Ala-Kul region. The cafe is full of people looking for hiking buddies, but the dorm is quiet at night, so you can sleep well before or after your hike. It felt more like home than a hostel and you could easily spend a week there - great atmosphere and positive energy, very relaxing and inviting. I couldn't imagine a better place in Karakol. I recommend it 100%!

“So good we came back!”

We stayed in one of the private rooms for a night. We booked last minute as our previous accommodation wasn’t great so we cancelled a night early. Duet was SO nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was great value for the price. The cafe/restaurant is a great addition and the food was lovely. They don’t include breakfast but instead you can just order breakfast items from the menu. I actually preferred this as the food was so nice. After this stay we went out of Karakol for the rest of our trip… we had an issue with the next accommodation and so we just came straight back to Duet for two more nights 😂

“Perfect”

Loved my stay. Was very impressed with staff specially K who remembered the request I sent at time of booking. Great hostel. Highly recommended.

“Clean, comfortable hostel for hiking activities and chill”

Kay and the staffs are very welcoming and friendly. They are always available go assist with their knowledge about any trips around the Karakol area. This is the place to be if you want to gather up buddies for a hike and beyond. The food in the cafe/restaurant next door serves pretty good food in decent prices. There’s also a Globus about a 7 minutes walk away with ATMs and an another smaller supermarket across the street. The property is clean, and the bed is already made and there’s towels and slippers provided - something not common in many of the places I’ve stayed in around Central Asia. It’s no big deal but the details are always appreciated. There’s also a free traditional music festival in the yard every Sunday. It makes the place lively and get to know the local culture. All in all, I recommend all to come stay here in Karakol!

“Nice, modest hotel with delicious food”

Clean hotel and friendly staff. Some staff speak English.

“Karakol stay”

It's one of the popular hostels in karakol and once you meet the smiling and ever helpful staff, you know why. The food is great too. Don't forget to check out the souvenir yurt.

Clean rooms and bathrooms, staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Enjoy strong Wi-Fi signal in your room for seamless connectivity. Unwind at the bar, offering delightful food and a relaxed ambiance. Access to a comprehensive tourist information guidebook for exploring the area. Highly likely to recommend this stay to others.

Experience breathtaking mountain views from your room.

Duet Hostel is a awesome place to stay in Karakol, run by a adorable family. I definetly recommand !!!

“A proper hostel!”

This is the first hostel I stayed in during my Kyrgyzstan trip. Hostel culture is not yet widespread in K. as in other countries and Duet met the standards I found in countries where wuch businesses have a longer history. I'd definitely go back!

“Great rooms with good food and friendly staff”

Great room, we slept really well. Very clean and quiet. Food in the cafe was fantastic and the staff were so helpful. It also attracts nice guests so we enjoyed talking to them.
