Almaty Backpackers

Great place!

Great hospitality. I really enjoyed my stay.

Wow - Almaty Backpackers what a cool place to stay at while exploring Almaty and the surrounding areas! Spacious backyard patio perfect for reading, relaxing and sunbathing! Fun activities organized by the friendly staff included; barbeque, beerparty and even a trip to the Playboy club where there was a fabulous dragshow!! Highly recommended...;-)

The hostel is social, has a good vibe, and is very cozy. The receptionist is very kind and friendly. Would be nice if there were curtains on the dorm beds, but besides that, I’d recommend!

Staff is very rude they gave my bed to someone when I was out. And when i asked them to change the bed-sheet they said they don’t have time i have to change it by myself.

Social hostel

Excellent place. Clean, excellent courtyard and outside area, with laundry facilities and plenty of room to dry clothes. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the guests were all having a good time and respectful of common areas. Excellent kitchen with a gas stove and plenty of fridge space, and nearby markets; I was able to cook for my stay. The only minor downsides are the location (a bit of a walk to get anywhere) and low amount of restrooms. Besides that, excellent place! Thank you!

A solid, basic hostel. Location is pretty weird with not heaps to offer, though a short walk from the metro. No signage, staff said the area is known for break-ins so that’s why they don’t advertise.. eeek. Varied guests in age and origin, some friendly backpackers but not a ‘social’ hostel. Rooms, beds, bathrooms, general facilities and amenity super basic but fine. On the positives - Aisultan at the front desk is divine! Hostel offering in Almaty is limited so this may be best there i...

This is a fine hostel. Surprisingly social when I was there which was great. The staff are a bit absent even though they are there all the time they aren’t really available or overly helpful. Facilities are fine, warm Showers and good kitchen set up

I stayed in the private room at this hostel, which was located in the basement. Although it does state this fact when booking, the room was actually not very clean. The showers were also not very clean. However, the host at reception was friendly and helpful.

Nice place and the room is clean and staff were polite

Great value for money

I had a nice stay at Almaty Backpackers. It could have been cleaner, however...the bathrooms in particular. But the bedroom was clean. I did not go into the kitchen so I cannot comment on that. Additionally, this is not a complaint, just letting other travelers know - you cannot wear your shoes inside, so you should bring slippers. They don't say this in the house rules, so I wanted to advise in this review to bring slippers. Otherwise, the people were super nice and helpful. I had a good stay.

good hostel. the guy at reception is super friendly and helpful. the hoatel is clean with good toilets and bathrooms. the atmosphere is good even in low season

Nice place, Nice staff, you feel like home I really will recommended this hostel

Great hostel to meet people and socialize.Good location.Nice and friendly stuff.The facilities though are a bit old and they only have 3 toilets for the whole hostel which is a bit of problem.If you want to have fun and socialize this might be the perfect place in Almaty

Great place, great people

Great hostel! Everyone there is nice and it feels like home! The hostel is very social, clean and will help you with anything.

So sociable and amazing staff

The staff here make the whole experience special. They’re kind, funny, and always ready to help with anything — from giving information to just having a good chat. You really feel at home here. Big love to the team!
