We were so glad we chose to stay at Olga’s. Her comfortable flat, just a stone’s throw from the city centre, was all we could have wished for. Olga welcomed us with an excellent breakfast after our arrival from the Beijing train, and we were able to take a shower straight away, even though we arrived at 7.30 in the... More

Olga speaks only french, but people of Zabaikalom.com will help you in any case, it's the best agency you'll find and they... More

We were lucky enough to spend two nights with olga in her lovely, warm, clean home. Comfortable beds. Great shower (very important after spending time on the trans siberian!) Very close to the city centre. Great homecooked meals. Highly recommended.

So why... More

We stayed for two nights at Olga's. Olga greeted us upon arrival but had to head off to Baikal for a short stay so her sister Tatiana looked after us. Tatiana is a really lovely lady and although we had a big language barrier we got along famously. She helped us in every way she could. Our (twin) room was... More

We stopped at Olga's homestay (booked via Za Baikalom) after a month long trip through Russia via Trans-Siberian Express. Ulan Ude was our final stop in Russia and Olga's homestay (run by Olga and her sister Tatiana) was a welcome relief after a few rather forgettable experiences in typical Russian hotels. It was such an amazing warm welcome, like coming... More

Some friends and I stayed at Olg's B&B during our Tran Siberian trip. This place was an absolute gem. Olga was very welcoming - she left us to sit up late watching TV and having a few drinks and then entertained us over a good breakfast with some crazy story about Japanese tourists and a helicopter. If you're looking for... More

I booked through Natalia at Za Baikalom for Olga's B&B. It was great. Natalia came to meet me at the train station and helped me with finding out thing to do in the area and getting information things. Olga was on holiday so her sister looked after me and it was like a Russian version of my mum's house with... More
