Bathroom was a little squashy but didn’t affect our overall enjoyment

Excellent location right off the Main Street, room was clean and comfortable for a hanok stay with thick mattress. Host was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area, had a nice time

Loud fridge during the nigt

Thinking back, I wanted to stay in a traditional hanok. This place offers an experience towards that, but is lacking a garden, and many of the more traditional looks, even though the house itself is traditional i its architecture. Thus, next time I would be willing to pay more for a more luxurious hanok experience.

Location of the accommodation is really good, as it is along the main street of the "old town" of Gyeongju. Archaeological sites and the traditional hanok village are very close by, as are many restaurants and cafes. The modern city centre is further away but also at a walkable distance. The host is very helful and friendly.

The bathroom was clearly planned for someone under 170 cm. There is a mini fridge in the room that is LOUD (for some reason that was not put in the common kitchen - we had to disconnect it at night) and there is nowhere to put clothes. It would take so little to make it perfect..

The house is genuinely traditional. The owner was kind, well organized and helped us plan an ideal three days itinerary (detailed map included!). The location is perfect for exploration of the area but also quiet enough to be silent at night.

Accomodation is 100yrs old hence understandable that facility will not be modern. Expectation for room once lowered will be good experience..

Location right in the middle of Hwangridangil and places of interested are reachable by foot and bus. Host provided good recommendation and directions were clear easy to follow.

Our private bathroom/toilet was located outside the room so it's a little troublesome to go to the toilet and we have to bring keys each time. Very limited space in the toilet, there's no dedicated shower space and the shower has a shared valve with the basin tap. The owner is based in another guesthouse after checking us in and not around all the time. Although he is available through texts if there's any issues.

It's a different experience to stay within a traditional building. Room and futon was comfortable to sleep in. Location is right in the middle of the cafe street.

The photos in the description are somewhat misleading. They are of the courtyard, which is pleasant and simple. The room is much more basic and simple than I had expected. But it has everything I needed, and it is pretty good value for the money. If you come by taxi, as I did, ask for Hwangridan-gil and not Poseok-ro. Not even the locals have any idea where Poseok-ro is.

The owner was unusually helpful and kind. He explained all the sites, providing his own little map. He offered me coffee in his café down the street. The room was quiet, even though this location is in the middle of the most frequented part of town, on a little side street. The bed was a comfortable mattress on the floor. If you don't mind living and sleeping on the floor, this place is fine - perfect for its location in an ancient city loaded with hanoks.

Outside (courtyard, terrace) are not really equipped and clean. No kitchen facilities in the shared kitchen

The owner was really friendly and accommodating. He helped us with our further itinerary by giving us a better route. He further explained in detail where the places were with a map. We could also leave our luggages after we’ve checked out and explore more.

The host wasn't there for the check-in and doesn't speak english. It was a bit difficult to enter and we were lucky to meet two koreans who also didn't know what to do and called the host. They also helped us check-in and translate the instructions only given via phone call...

It was spacious enough for two people and the floor heating kept us warm at night. Even tough it was near the main street, it wasn't noisy at all!

Location was near the main city and Hwangridan-gil, which was very convenient. Also a walking distance from the Hwangnam-dong Royal Tombs, Gyochon Hanok Village and the famous Cheomseongdae Observatory. Accessible distance to Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, Gyeongju National Museum and other attractions, and more importantly the Singyeongju KTX station. Though it was slighty hard to find, the owner gave great instructions and even called to give us directions which was nice. When we reached, the owner gave us really useful information on the attractions in Gyeongju and helped us plan our trip.

Cleanliness left much to be desired.

Well located traditional accommodation in a very interesting cultural area. The staff is very enthusiastic and giving much information about the area.

The accommodation was scruffy especially the entry and courtyard. The courtyard was used for rubbish collection and drying towels. No effort was made to make it presentable. We were given an internal room which opened to the shared kitchen. The only window was a tiny window in the toilet. We complained and got moved to another room after two days. There were no plates, glasses etc provided in the kitchen. This was a very poor value and low quality hanok experience.

The accommodation was just off the very busy main street but was quiet at night.

The place was very conveniently located with many shops, restaurants around and easy access to transportation The host was kind to explain what could be worth visiting as well as a daily schedule to do so. Finally he even sent me a parcel containing the jacket that I forgot! So kind!

There was no breakfast. When I arrived, the proprietor sat me and another woman who arrived at the same time down and told us, with maps, what to see in Gyeong-ju. His advice in some instances was good, but he did not ask if we wanted it. A bit of the Ancient Mariner. The hanok pads in the rooms were thin; my hip bones felt the floor through the night. However, I am an older person, so that may have been the problem.

A good location, near the park where the burial mounds are, and just back of the tourist street.

Outside areas need attention, detracts from the other good features.

Traditional hanok house in an alley off the most traditional street in Gyeongju. Great location for tourist attractions, restaurants etc. Nice room, traditional with futons plus all usual amenities. Underfloor heating and AC. Common area with microwave and sink. Helpful owner. Washing machine for laundry.

Excellent location. William, the proprietor, is a true gentleman. He gave me fantastic tips for exploring Gyeongju and was extremely friendly. A perfect base for exploring Gyeongju.

Mr Lee - the owner - was very enthusiastic in suggesting itineraries and recommending restaurants. That saved my own efforts to find information. I truly appreciate that. This experience in fact motivated me to look for in the next city for accommodations with enthusiastic owners. In Daegu, it was Bomgoro Guest House.

Everything was perfect!!

I really enjoyed staying at the traditional Hanok.The room was clean and tidy. There was a private bathroom in the room. The futons were so comfy. The location of the guesthouse is exceptional!! It was really easy to find it and it was located in a quiet alley at the center of Hwanglidan road. There are so many nice restaurants and cafes near the guesthouse. There is a big convenience store across the guesthouse! In addition, the famous tourist sites are within walking distance.

When we arrived the host gave us a detailed map and explanation of must see places that evening and the next day, given the time we had in Gyeongju. It was so helpful and allowed us to make the most of our time there. The place is in such a great location in walking distance to the main attractions. The property was clean and comfortable. It felt like home! They let us store our bags the next day while we went exploring which was very much appreciated! Would highly recommend.
