your stuff might get stolen.

Reseña completaGood: Close to the attractions and public transportation. Bad: Guests don't follow the rules, have gross hygiene, and leave rubbish everywhere. Only three toilets. Don't trust the other guests or the lockers--your stuff might get stolen.

Reseña completaWouldn’t recommend, staff is terrible. 4 people in our dorm were robbed. Powerbank and speaker were stolen off one of my mates. 1500 tenge stolen off me and 10,000 tenge stolen off another guy in our dorm. When bringing this up to the host he would outright call us liars and threaten to call the police on us. They also tried to overcharge a girl into paying for an extra night that she wasn’t staying for and when she refused he hid her bag. All of this within 2 days.

they cancelled my booking claiming a Hostelworld error and overbooking.
Mostrar reseña completa
Reseña completaI had this place booked for a while and 2 days before my arrival, they cancelled my booking claiming a Hostelworld error and overbooking. However, they conveniently: 1: marked the cancellation as MY CHOICE (it absolutely was not). 2: did the cancellation about 10 hours after the free cancellation window ended. Thus I have lost my deposit and had to find a last minute booking elsewhere. Now I understand that there are technical issues sometimes, but to steal a deposit (when you’re the party that’s backing out of the agreement) is absolutely unacceptable.

Had almost brand new pair of hiking shoes stolen (not hostels fault but really sucked) and staff did not care.

Reserved thru booking (3-4 different times) and staff cancelled all the stays so we still had to pay them booking fee and they just pocket that money.

Reseña completaStaff is useless, lazy and rude. Reserved thru booking (3-4 different times) and staff cancelled all the stays so we still had to pay them booking fee and they just pocket that money. unprofessional and illegal. Don’t let them have you cancel it and confront them if they cancel it on you. Had almost brand new pair of hiking shoes stolen (not hostels fault but really sucked) and staff did not care. Also food stolen from common kitchen. Had to make up own bed because staff is too lazy. Had breakfast thrown out by terrible cleaning lady and she lied about why she did it. My friend was compensated but they did nothing for me. 3 toilets and showers for maybe 30 people. All disgusting and not cleaned properly (watched terrible cleaning lady do lazy job) Christine is cool and did a good job. Overall, great place to meet people and plan trips but terrible for everything else. Budget hostel so some of this is expected & normal but stealing money from you and booking is wild. Everything added up to a bad experience. Stay at evergreen or wanderlust

letting anyone use it as late as 10:30pm at night, with a staff member themselves having a 30 minute shower at 11pm.

I paid extra for a room with private ensuite and the staff treated it as communal, leading guests into the room and letting anyone use it as late as 10:30pm at night, with a staff member themselves having a 30 minute shower at 11pm.

Reseña completaOnly one working communal shower. I paid extra for a room with private ensuite and the staff treated it as communal, leading guests into the room and letting anyone use it as late as 10:30pm at night, with a staff member themselves having a 30 minute shower at 11pm. When confronted they laughed about it. The same staff member also admitted cancelling English and German people’s Hostel World bookings after payment, as they “always leave bad reviews”. Shady, disingenuous, and unprofessional.

Lockers didn’t have keys and staff came into dorms randomly in the night to ask questions which was odd.

Reseña completaMost social hostel in Central Asia. Has kitchen, lounge, courtyard, laundry, and most things you need. Lockers didn’t have keys and staff came into dorms randomly in the night to ask questions which was odd. Location isn’t that close to the centre but Yandex makes it easy. Would still recommend staying here overall

Reseña completaThe staff was rarely available or helpful when they were available. The water heater was not working one day and the electricity went out another day. The communal kitchen was chaotic and someone stole my bag of potato chips

Análisis del ambiente
El patio es el evento principal en Almaty Backpackers: un patio y mesa larga donde los backpackers se juntan, compran cerveza en la tienda de al lado, intercambian planes de caminata y dejan que la noche se vuelva agradablemente no lineal. Convierte un hostel-casa bastante basico en uno de los lugares mas faciles de Almaty para encontrar companeros de day trip, amigos de copas y una crew temporal para el caos de Kazajistan. El hostel tiene un montaje hogareno y social con lounge, cocina, espacio exterior, lavanderia y una estacion de metro cercana a unos 10 minutos caminando. La energia del staff puede ser una gran parte de la estadia, especialmente alrededor de Aisultan, Valentin, Arai, Rufina y otros miembros del equipo que ayudan con tips de ciudad, tours, extensiones y logistica general. Viajes a Kolsai, Kaindy, Charyn Canyon, lagos, caminatas e incluso noches raras pueden ser parte del ecosistema. Esto es mas basecamp social que mundo boutique de pods pulidos. Los dormitorios pueden ser simples, las camas pueden crujir o no tener cortinas, y los banos son un cuello de botella real. La limpieza y la ayuda del staff parecen variar segun el dia, asi que el mejor perfil es un backpacker solo que valora atmosfera, conexiones faciles, acceso a cocina e impulso de patio mas que instalaciones impecables.
Señales a revisar
- Muy pocas duchas e inodoros pueden significar filas, pisos mojados, falta de papel higienico y mananas apretadas.
- Reservas, asignaciones de cama, extensiones y cambios de habitacion pueden volverse caoticos.
- La limpieza es inconsistente, especialmente en banos y cocina.
- La privacidad en dormitorios es limitada: cortinas, lockers, enchufes y aire acondicionado no son fiables en todas las habitaciones.
- La ubicacion es tranquila y manejable en metro, bus o Yandex, pero no ideal para todos los puntos centricos o salidas de caminata.
- Pagos con tarjeta, horarios de recepcion, acceso al porton y detalles de check-in pueden necesitar paciencia extra.
