Golden Gobi in Kyoto, Mongolia

There IS a place like home it's called Golden Gobi! The amazing staff is superfriendly and help you with everything you ask, but the most remarkable thing about GG is that you will start seeing it as home whenever you return to UB after a tour or two. Absolutely fantastic! Rafael, from Belgium ~ 10th Jul 2011

The staff here are nice most of the time but appear to be extremely disorganized. Chaos is usually the situation when more than one person needs help at the saame time. Facilities are sadly lacking in cleanliness and capability. (bring your own TP)The beds are average for what parts of Asia I have been to. Dining area would be better if expandeed which is certainly possible. Customer is NOT king. Lester, from USA ~ 29th Sep 2011

Golden Gobi (but also other well known hostels in UB) is charecterised by the fact that it's al about the money. If you're not interested in a tour organised by them, you're a bad visitor. In the worst case you will be rejected to stay here while there are still beds available (I personally witnessed this). Also they don't refund money that you've payed for the excursion in case of casualties or other emergencies. Oguzhan, from Netherlands ~ 11th Oct 2011

Our group of four (two married couples) from the U.S. really enjoyed this hostel and the lovely staff.They helped us book a great tour, and we highly recommend Golden Gobi. Lindsay, from USA ~ 20th Sep 2011
