Amazing

Traditional yurt but with all modern comfort. Very pitoresk and with enough privacy. Very cozy + clean hot shower and toilets. AMAZING dinner and breakfast. Perfect location to explore the 2 gorges!

Gouda powered

The real traditional Yurts with good beds to sleep like babies, the banya to try at least once, the excellent food, the recycling and ecological approach and the family-like atmosphere of the Dutch (and therefore English-speaking, a rarity in this country) owner.

Just be aware that the village is small, you will therefore need some sort of transportation to wander around to the lake or the mountain (bicycles can be rented)

Exceptional

This place was great! Quite luxurious for us after staying in basic guesthouses and hostels for a while. The breakfast was great! The Dutch couple managing it were super nice and interesting and showed us their cheese making workshop, which you got the sample each morning with breakfast! Dinner was also great and cooked by a nice Russian woman who works there. Lisa who was working there over the summer was also super great and friendly. The garden itself is very tranquil and we spent the entire day relaxing in hammocks and on little chill areas. 10/10 recommend!

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, hammocks, amazing dinner (600som), home made cheese for breakfast. There is enough to do: visit the local market, rent a canoe and paddle the lake, bike though the Ak Suu valley or take a taxi and walk to the lake(s). Definitely a great place to stay for a night or 2/3 to relax.

Enjoy the experience of meeting great people there!

It is one of the rarest places when you value the people you met more that the bed you slept on. Great experience! To try the Dutch cheese (made by awesome Dutch couple who host the guests) is a must! Great home made dinners and breakfast s - than you, Kristina!

The warmest moment of the trip to Kyrgyzstan

I can say that it was one of the most magnificent experiences in my life! I can’t find words to describe how memorable my stay was! Yacobina is a fantastic host and person with a very warm heart, incredible sense of humour and a desire to make an outstanding atmosphere around. Living in a yurt, spending time with people from all over the world, feeling this unity, bike trips to the Issyk-Kul and valleys, watching clear sky full of stars are something that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life. thank you for being so amazing! :)

Paradise in Grigorievka and a lifelong friend!

I first contacted Jacobiene regarding a potential kayak expedition on Issyk-Kul. She showed immediate interest in my project and I ended up staying 3 nights at Bel-Zhan. The lodge is a great base camp for activities and treks around Grigorievka and has stunning facilities. I really enjoyed the different room options, the home cooked meals and the beautiful surrounding landscape. I could have seriously spent my entire summer there. They also have a super nice team of volunteers to help around! Thank you Jacobiene and Bel-Zhan for making my crazy project become really; I can’t wait to visit back one day!

Wonderful and cozy yurt oasis for adventurers

Bel-Zhan is one of the best places I've visited during travelling. The central figure is the host - Jacobiene. She creates warm and friendly atmosphere, tells great stories in different languages. We've had wonderful evenings there talking about everything to her and other guests. The food was also great: very tasty and quite big portions. The yurts are interesting place to stay in, they're exotic enough and look cool due to the garden around them. There are also bathroom facilities in separate premises, very clean and convenient. The place has everything for comfortable life of adventurers and travellers, who will definitely have unusual and interesting experience in the place.

A wonderful chance to enjoy Kyrgyzstan's nature in eco-friendly accommodation

The yurt lodge is excellent and it is a great experience to stay here. The yurts are well equipped; there is electricity and there are both outdoor and indoor showers and bathrooms. Jacobiena is a really wonderful host and we are glad (and very impressed) to have met her. Her work on this place is a great opportunity to enjoy nature in Kyrgyzstan in a more eco-friendly way. She has great suggestions for how to enjoy the surrounding area, where the landscape is spectacular. It is not too far from Issyk-Kul lake and you can access the beach nearby. The food at dinner and breakfast was delicious, really good portion sizes and nicely home cooked, it was so lovely to enjoy it and chat. We travelled by shared minibus to Grigoryevka and it was not too far to walk from there.

Nice place to stay some days

The woman is lovely. The place is part of a community project. Lovely ride from the place to the lake with bikes (around a 20 minutes drive, 40 minutes go and return). Food is excellent. Great cooking.

Relaxing Venture.

Very pretty garden grounds with an array of chill-out spots, thus, this property is primed for a relaxing venture. I believe bicycles were also available, as is dinner. The staff were also very friendly and kind.

The shed wasn't insulated thus it was open to the wind and some droplets of water and many bugs and spiders. There were also large cobwebs within the rafters. It was cold at night, however, I had bought my own hot water bottle, so it was tolerable for me. There was also no means to lock the door from the inside, which during the night is particularly disconcerting.

Quiet yurt retreat

We really enjoyed staying at Bel-Zhan. Jacobiene is a great host and her garden is the best place to unwind after hiking. The yurt was warm and dry, and all facilities were very clean. Samara cooked us delicious breakfast and dinner every day. There is an outdoor kitchen to socialise with other travellers after dinner.

Everything was great

Incredible views, great staff, and great accommodations!

Bel-Zhan was beautiful and incredibly relaxing! It felt like we were in the Garden of Eden with all of the fresh fruit ready to pick from the trees around us. The host was friendly and funny and very helpful. All of the food was delicious and the hosts were able to work around our schedule. We only selfish we could stay longer and we look forward to coming back as soon as we're able! Our yurt was very private and we felt comfortable to spend time by ourselves while also enjoying the company of our host and other guests when we felt like it. The views of both the mountains on one side and Issyk Kul on the other were incredible.
