7.0

Overall we had a good stay. The dorms were clean, the location was convenient, and the price was very reasonable. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is no air conditioning or even fans in the dorms, so it can get pretty hot.

− The kitchen situation was... memorable. The hostel is essentially a family home where the owners rent out some of the rooms as dorms, so they also use the kitchen themselves. One evening while we were cooking, the owner sat with us and, although he was friendly, he kept communicating through Google Translate on full volume. He reminded us several times to clean up after ourselves (which we completely intended to do), commented that we were cooking too much food because "Shymkent is too hot and it will spoil," and after we explained it was for the next day, kindly informed us to let it cool before putting it in the fridge—valuable information we'd somehow managed to discover before arriving. He also asked us to hurry because of the steam, despite there being no extractor fan (or even a fan at all), told us to wipe up a tiny spill while we were still cooking, clean the sink plug, and then suggested we start washing up while we were literally still serving our dinner. We'd barely made any mess in the first place, so it all felt a little unnecessary. Having Google Translate constantly listening to our conversations also made things a bit awkward. Every time we tried to chat to each other, the phone would immediately translate everything out loud, so it never really felt like we could relax and enjoy cooking our meal. None of this ruined our stay, and overall we'd still recommend the hostel. It was clean, affordable, and in a good location. Just don't be surprised if cooking dinner turns into a surprisingly interactive experience.

− 洗澡不方便，洗漱地方有点拥挤，空调有点不是很冷，空间很大，床位很多，12点退房东西可以寄存，回去拿行李说人不能呆在那里，没有水可以喝，主要房费很便宜
