Koksay hotel is like our own house with a yard. The owner Asia is a very kind lady who cares about our lives and helps us in time. She lets us use the kitchen and washing machine and tells us where to go shopping and eat. The room is very clean and tidy, looks very new, and the heating is very comfortable. Snow-capped mountains can be seen from the window. The villagers are also friendly. But the biggest surprise is that the landlord is very nice. It costs about 4,500 tenge to take a taxi to Panfilov, and the price varies at different times. There is an aport mall 3.6 kilometers away, which is enough for shopping.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The bed🛏️ (cell) was big and comfortable. The place is new, very clean and bright. I did not use all the appliances, but I can see they were functional. The location is a few steps from the main road (bus stop)and a big attraction (reservoir/ lake). All the shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

The hosts are very friendly and help you with all the support needed. Dooni even helped me to register local sim and helped to get good deals with the plan of 30 gb data. The hostel also recommended me for good organized tours. The place is amazingly well organized and tidy. They accommodated my request for lower bed without extra charge.
