Very friendly and helpful nice hostel in this region. Close to ancient city and shops, restaurants. People who stay in this hostel are very friendly too and shared lots of travel informations. I would like to come back again and recommend to my friends who are traveling to 喀什 in the future

It was a very confortable stay! I’ve stayed for three nights. The bed are well designed and provide a lot of privacy. The common areas are also very comfortable and I had many nice encounters.
More regular cleaning of the toilet in the dorm would have been appreciated though

Super nice hostel in the old city with a peaceful vibe. The rooms are excellent value for money, clean and well equipped. I had the best night's sleep I had in ages. The hostel is built around a courtyard with mature trees in the centre which keeps it cool in the day. There is a well equipped kitchen, free laundry and the atmosphere is friendly. If you are cycling or on a motorbike you can store these safely in the courtyard.

Nice hostel with comfortable beds and helpful staff. Even if they do not speak English, they try their best to help. I booked a 3 days carpool Toor in the Pmir region with them, and it was a great experience.
You can use the washing machine for free, which is a great perk, and also, if you need a towel, they provide it for free.
Overall, it was a great experience ❤️

Jaw-droppingly good! Fantastic vibes, friendly staff, and excellent facilities. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfy. I'll definitely be back, not least because the manager kindly let me leave my bike there for free whilst I do a visa run to Kyrgyzstan

Great hostel, with great environment. Staff is great and helpful. Free laundry service, free fruit, free hot and cold water disposer. The room for 4 was great with the bathroom. I recommend it a lot.

Very nice hostel with excellent facilities. Stayed in hostels worldwide with this maybe being the only '5 star hostel'.
Great location next to the Old City and many restaurants nearby.
The manager is helpful and friendly.
Definitely recommended.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Rooms have private bathrooms, and there's a free shared kitchen and washing machine. There's a large courtyard for guests to chat, and at night, a random guy will pop up asking if you want to play Werewolf. Hahaha. I even signed up for a three-day tour of Ta County and had a blast!

It was my first time staying in a youth hostel and the experience was great. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable, the bed was large, the air conditioning was very powerful, and the common area was large. Friends could chat and eat watermelon together, and we could also organize meal and carpooling. Highly recommended!

Many hostels require you to put on your own duvet covers, but this one comes with pre-made sheets and quilt covers, making it super convenient to just check in. The 4-person room is spacious, and the beds are all 1.2 meters or larger, so you don't feel cramped and have plenty of privacy. The owner said watermelon is free, and there's a large kitchen, so those with culinary skills can cook, which is fantastic!

The location is great. It's right in the old town, with a cozy little courtyard and a big tree. The rooms are also great, especially the quadruple room, which is separated by a separate bathroom. You can also meet many friends.

The hostel is in a great location; you can stroll downstairs to the old city. The atmosphere is also pleasant, and we had some fun chatting. However, I'm not used to staying up past midnight. 🤦♂️ If I had to point out one problem, it would be the poor drainage in the bathroom. Water would accumulate after showering, and since it's a public bathroom, I definitely had to change clothes. It was really inconvenient to change clothes in the water-logged area, and I easily got my pants wet. 😭
