We were traveling around Issyk-Kul Lake with our three young children, searching for a quiet and beautiful place to stay. When I came across Taberik, I was initially hesitant — the place had no reviews, and traveling with kids, comfort is our top priority. But the location looked so stunning that I decided to take a chance. And I’m so glad I did — Taberik exceeded all our expectations. We were warmly greeted by Meyrambek, the owner, who welcomed us with tea and cookies and shared that they had just opened for their very first season. The entire place is brand new and built with great attention to detail. The setting is breathtaking: nestled at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by untouched nature, with yurts and cozy cabins scattered across the land. The cabins have heating, hot water, and high-speed internet via Starlink, which was a pleasant surprise given the remote location. The interiors are thoughtfully designed — wooden furniture, natural materials, spotless cleanliness, and a cozy atmosphere. You can immediately feel that a lot of care, resources, and investment went into creating this place. We passed by several other guesthouses along the way, and honestly, none of them came close to Taberik. It’s truly a different level of comfort and beauty. There’s also a stunning waterfall nearby, adding to the magic of the place. This location touched my heart so deeply that I couldn’t resist writing this review — and I don’t do that often. If you’re traveling around Issyk-Kul and want a peaceful, scenic, and genuinely comfortable experience, Taberik is the place

Nuray and her family and lovely and always trying to cover all your needs. Their home fullfils all expectations, with many small details base on local design. Great breakfast

The stuff was very helpful and kind and they gave us all the information we needed. The food was delicious and the rooms were very clean! We definitely recommend it!

The place itself is not just your ordinary Yurt. This is the only Yurt that is available in the page. The place is in the middle of pine trees in front of the seven bulls. The place is big and comfortable. Toilet is outside but adjacent. It has warm water, chimney that keep you warm during the winter or during cold nights. The owner is very attentive and made sure that the yurt is already warm before they left. Put music and give us coffee to relax after we arrived for check-in. It is really quite and good for honeymooners. For experience, this is really a good one though it's a bit pricey compared to the rest, but this is so worth it. It will be nice if you just stay here all day. This is good for private experience and something extra.

The kids came out to greet us right when we arrived and gave us almonds. The place is owned by a very nice family and the house really feels like a home. There is a nice garden with outside dining area. The breakfast was made from home made jams and home grown tees. Everyone was very kind. Very close to the lake where we could get a morning dip.
