Reviews
Silvia from New Zealand (9/10)

Aurélie from Switzerland (9/10)
The house is so cute and the location in Bukchon so peaceful and quiet.
The room was small but the bed was really comfortable and all was super clean.
The owners were also really friendly and did what they could to help despite their limited English. They offered me a typical welcome drink made of rice.
Wanted to come back at the end of my trip but they are fully booked for my dates.Foo from Malaysia (9/10)
Friendly hosts who were welcoming and polite. I enjoyed the traditional hanok architecture and the experience of the room and surrounding village. Surprisingly, I was able to enjoy a deep sleep on the floor-bed. Breakfast was freshly cooked by my host in the morning, served hot in my room.

Annaxxx from France (10/10)
Very clean traditional Hanok house with super kind host family. Thank you again so much for the umbrellas you gave to us when it was raining very strongly. We were happy to stay on your house and we enjoyed also a lot the traditional Korean breakfast. Location is great, within walking distance to the Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village.
Marcel from Germany (10/10)
What an experience to stay in a traditional Hanok Homestay! The owners are a friendly couple who made me feel very welcome. One highlight for me was the traditional Korean breakfast, freshly prepared every morning.
Maibritt from Denmark (10/10)
I liked the Hanok experience and the neighborhood
Alex from Israel (10/10)
The hosts were lovely, location provides easy access to palaces and restaurant areas, great running routes up the hill around Samcheong Park, and easy public transport everywhere; aesthetics of the hanok itself were great; and wonderful (Korean style) breakfast. I don't eat meat but the host compensated with other things that were delicious, fresh, and kept me full for hours.
