Very authentic homestay experience. If you want to feel like you're living with the local family, this's probably as close as you could get. Breakfast and tea served are delicious. Lazzat helped us with organising taxi to nearby attractions. She's very resourceful and had good recommendations.

Lazzat is very interested to make the most of your trip, helps you plannning and gives advice. You really get a authentic experience.

“We had a lovely time at the guesthouse. We will be sure to comeback next time we are in Kazakhstan. We felt very welcome”

Very relaxing and quiet home with a very welcoming family. We had great food and great conversation.

“Best place to stay in Turkistan ☀️”

Everything was perfect about this place. The host family is very kind and will take such good care of you, making sure you have all you need, arranging transport if you need and always serves you a nice cup of tea ☺️ Will stay here again another time!

I think this place can be helpful for people who don’t know any locals or aren’t familiar with Kazakhstan yet. I visited with my fiancé, who was visiting Kazakhstan for the first time, and I thought it would be a nice experience for him. We saw another guests seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and had good conversations during breakfast. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to participate ourselves, since we only stayed for two nights and mostly came back there to sleep.

“I had the best stay here, the family were so kind and helped me out during my short stay. I should have stayed longer I”

The hosts were super friendly and available to help at any point.

The property is a home with a guest house, run by the senior lady, Ms. Lazzat. She has been very helpful and ensured a pleasant stay. While neither of us spoke the same language, we used Deepl and google translate, and ensured a smooth communication. Lunch and breakfast available, and I loved the plov lunch which I had along with some of her other guests. A good cultural experience living in a Kazakh home.

Lazzat, the owner, is a very friendly, hospitable and funny person. we communicated over google translate and she cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners. the beds were comfortable and the house is very nice to stay in.

“Wonderful homeworthy stay!”

This was a wonderful stay! Thank you Lazzat for your hospitality. It was really nice to discover the Kazakh culture, traditions and meals. I felt like I was visiting my grandma: a comfortable home. The food was very good and Lazzat accommodated the fact that I am vegetarian.

“Wonderful Kazakh hostel”

I stayed 4 days and realy enjoied my stay at Lazzat's. She and her family welcomed me with open arms. Her cooking was wonderful, they helped me organize some trips and all over I had just a wonderful time there.

This is a fantastic guest house in Turkestan. I spent two night here and met some fantastic people as well as the host (Lazzat) and her family. It was a truly special feeling days and made my trip in Kazakhstan. I’d highly recommend staying here!

Hospitality is great 👍 Owner is a nice person

It felt like a true homestay in the heart of Kazakh culture. Lazzat took me in as her own and made me feel so welcome and looked after. I will definitely come again!

“They were so usefull even they took me zo the bus station”

Real traditional home, with a very warm Welcome. The house owner Lazzat is very nice and helpful. I recommend to everyone if wants to experience an authentic Kazakh place and life, stay in Lazzat’s house.

Lazzat and her son Askar were extremely welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Her home cooked food was lovely. We had a brilliant stay.

Lazzat is a very nice host. She can provide home made diner for reasonnable price as well. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long enough to do archery with her :) There is also a lovely cat there

“Lazzat made us feel like we had a home away from home”

We loved our stay with Lazzat. She took such great care of us and really made us feel like her granddaughters. She has a beautiful home and family, and makes the best plov in Kazakhstan! She also went out of her way to help us with cheap and reliable taxis, so that we could make the most of our short time in Turkistan. Thank you Lazzat!
