  • Sharon from Israel (10/10)

    Great location , close to everything and 5 minutes walk from the underground train.

  • Neostine from Romania (9/10)

    Nice and cozy hanok. Great location. The house is well equipped with washing and drying machines, water filter, dry sauna, kitchen etc. Has everything you can need for a longer stay. The host is very nice and helpful. She answered all of our questions and helped us with storing our luggage for a couple more hours after the checkout. Very nice experience of a traditional house.

  • Elizabeth from United States (10/10)

    Everything about this stay was wonderful! The location is the perfect combination of super close to many places including Insadong, Bukchon Hanok Village, and Gyeongbokgung Palace, but is also tucked away on a quiet, tiny side street. And the hanok style home surround an enclosed courtyard made it feel so special every time we can “home.”

  • Saiki from Northern Mariana Islands (10/10)

    Everything was beautiful and comfortable

  • Rebecca from Australia (10/10)

    central location

  • Montenis from Lithuania (10/10)

    This was our first time in South Korea and Seoul, and it was so easy. From coming from Incheon airport to the property on public transport, to finding it when there. It has everything you want and more, located in a most wonderful neighborhood. The hosts always have your back, but when you are there not much is needed. Everything is cared about and nice. Everything you need is just around the corner, if it you need a nice place to eat or transportation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who are travelling in a group and want to stay at a place that is authentic and cozy.

  • Wei from Singapore (9/10)

    The property is clean, easy to locate and access. We love the Korean style’s stay, would share it to my friends.

  • Celine from Singapore (9/10)

    Beautiful and spacious hanok. The hanok owner was so kind to let us check in slightly earlier. Location is superb. Near to many landmarks and cute cafes like cafe onion. If you are a k drama buff, it will fulfill your fantasy of staying in a korean house.

  • E-laine from Australia (9/10)

    Location was really good. Only about 150m from Anguk station and in the heart of Bukchon. The accomodation was clean and well equipped. They also provided many amenities including filtered water. The host Suji was thoughtful and very responsive.
