Lovely place to stay, clean and beautiful decor. Very sociable places to eat and chill out.

The hospitality and breakfast were amazing

This is an absolutely lovely hostel with the most beautiful rooms and common area that I have seen anywhere in Kazakhstan so far! Definitely don't hesitate to book 🙂

“Friendly, helpful and unique decorations.”

There was free tea and coffee & lovely clean kitchen to cook your own meals.

“Warm and cozy, feel like home.”

The facilities itself is a work of art. It's felt cozy and warm. The proprietor Ms Albina really treated me like I'm home. And the food is cook as per your preference freshly made whenever you need it.

“Exceeded Expectations, Want to live there permanently!”

The room was so beautiful and had an amazing atmosphere!!! Honestly, I thought the reviews were scams because they were so positive, but turns out I'm just too cynical, and pleasantly so, because I had one of the best experiences ever. Highly recommend, perfect execution, five stars!!!

“Amazing”

Beautiful design, exceptional 😍

Lovely place, beautifully decorated. It's a piece of art. Book it, you won't be disappointed.

“Super-extra clean hostel, kind of far but super comfortable”

I like it how the place is extra-clean, and they force everyone to leave shoes outside. This helps a lot. I like how the place looks like a big house where you could share conversations with other guests, although this did not happen to me. Bathroom were always available and extra clean.

“Excellent value for money, beautiful place run by lovely people.”

Amazing place to stay. Absolutely spotless and a really interesting house/construction. The people who run the hostel are fantastic, everything works and the rooms were beautiful. You'd easily pay five times the amount in Europe for the quality. Every part of the hostel has had thought and care put into it. A wonderful place run by wonderful people.

The design and cleanliness.

“You’ll definitely want to extend your stay here”

A really amazing hostel close to the centre of Shymkent - you wont want for anything else. The hostess (also the staff) were so lovely during my stay. Thank you 🙏. Wifi worked great, beds were comfy and the layout of the hostel inspired me. It’s a beautiful home. And they also have dogs!

“A lovely relaxing good quality hostel that is great value for money.”

Sweet home is a lovely hostel at a very good price. We had a private room with shared bathroom and shower which were very clean and only shared with the other rooms on our floor. The kitchen and living space is very good and it was relaxing and very nice to meet other nice guests who were staying. The staff are very friendly and kind! I would recommend this accommodation to anyone who is looking for a value stay in Shymkent, which also seems like a very cool town, we were only passing through but I wish we had more time to explore it.

“Almost 100% :)”

The value is exceptional, however, this is unfortunately its downfall. There are tourists here indeed, and it is not the cheapest hostel in the city, however, the slight difference in price between this place and the cheapest hostels isn't enough to discourage undesirable guests. I stayed 5 nights and it was impossible to sleep or relax during the 45 degrees heatwave because of domestic guests in the mens dorm who are not what any tourist wants. Playing loud music, taking phone calls at 2am, urinating all over the toilet seats, and they even broke the air conditioning so we had no AC on the hottest days of the year. A really poor class of Kazakh men checking-in ruined it for me, however, even with this, I have to give almost 10/10 or 5 stars... almost. The staff are professional and nice. The place was kept impeccable, and the outside area is great (other than when the Kazak guests are smoking over your food when there are literally a dozen comfortable places to sit around the garden). The interior is way better than the photos. An absolute gem! I think they should put the price up ten or fifteen percent, however, to price-out non-tourist guys.

“Green, Bright, Good common area for seating.”

Pretty hostel, lots greenery, many seating area in the garden. Also inside there're many common areas. Good kitchen with oven, stove, oil, salt, tea. Share dorm is airy and spacious. Overall a bright, clean and well maintained hostel. The staff were helpful with my questions.

“Stay like "home"”

Beautiful stay. Experience is like home. As they already say art house sweet home. It is indeed sweet home. People are so gentle and kind.
