I've lived in Mongolia for two years and Khongor is my guesthouse of choice in UB. Excellent central location and very helpful staff, usually -- it depends on who's working and how their English is, but most are capable of helping tourists who don't speak any Mongolian. Khurlee specifically was really helpful in organizing tours when I had family visiting.... More

This will be a brief review, as I only really stayed in UB for less than a week. I was on a budget school trip and this guesthouse was definitely the best in regard to the price that it asked for a room per night. We arrived in the morning and were welcomed in to a comfortable looking room. There... More

We arrived early on Sunday morning at 7.30am and after banging on the door for 5 mins, they finally let us in from the cold. It was -20 oC that morning. The guy didn't speak any English, showed us to a cupboard of a miserable room and left us to it. The room was cold as the central heating was... More

We booked more than a week in advance through email and everything was confirmed. We told them we would be arriving by bus from Russia at a certain time. However, the bus got delayed. Border crossings in Russia can take hours, literally. So we arrived in Ulaan-bataar, late at night, around 11pm and started walking to Khongor. When we finally... More

I and my friend went to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in January 2012. When we arrived in UB at night, we were not booked in any place to stay but did have some information provided by our Hong Kong travelling agency. At the airport, we were met by local drivers asking to drive for us and we settled on 30,000MNT to Khongor... More

We loved our stay at Khongor guesthouse. Yes, the rooms are basic as is the breakfast but that is par the course in Mongolia in Guesthouses. The owners put so much trust in their guests. You could help yourself to beer and water from the fridge and let them know how much you have had at the end of the... More

We booked in advance as we were arriving off the train from Irkutsk early in the morning and wanted to go out on a tour that day. Presumably there was a bit of a language barrier, as they did not seem to want to confirm anything for us - as in we would ask "is this confirmed?" and they would... More

We stayed in one of the Khongor apartments before and after our trip one the basis that we'd get more room, less noise and more privacy. There was one double bedroom, lounge area (with a single bed/sofa, great armchair and TV), kitchen and bathroom. It was in a block around the corner from the main hostel backing onto a quiet... More

This is a review for the Khongor tours since we didn't stay at their guesthouse. We went on a 2 day 1 night trip to Terelj which went very smoothly and was well priced, although the hour of horseback riding was a very disappointing walking pony ride. I would recommend going to Terelj yourself because you can save some money... More
