    Sojeong was a wonderful host and super helpful. She was really sweet and I wish I got more time to speak with her. The hostel was very clean and nicely located. I really enjoyed my stay in Gyeongju and was grateful for such a homey-feeling hostel. The staff went above and beyond.

    Nothing except for a few inconsiderate guests who talked and laughed loudly at the kitchen. Anyway, Rossa's mother would be there at 11pm every night to put everyone to bed. So, peace is guaranteed by 11pm.

    Really sparkling clean, comfortable bed, located next to the historical site and within a walking distance from the intercity bus terminal (about 10mins). 7-11 24 hour convenient store is just opposite with a few local restaurants around the hostel. The owner, Rossa, is a friendly and helpful lady who would do all her best to assist you. Thanks for the yummy traditional Gyeongju bread from her mother-in-law and your daily breakfast provided. We will see you again 😘

    Incredibly kind the person working in Blueboat Hostel! She helped me when needed, she replied very fast to my messages and she was very available! Always smiling!! I will definitely return ifI happen to be again in Gyeongju!! The place was very close (walking) to different attractions and the stop bus for more distance attractions was just in front of the hostel!!

    Nothing bad to say.

    AMAZING! - Staff were exceptional: Always bringing me snacks and things to try. Doing their utmost best to make me feel at home whilst I was there (honestly most hospitable staff I've had the pleasure of encountering in almost all my travels). - Breakfast: A solid breakfast of cereals, toasts, organic eggs and a few spreads. Absolutely great (especially for the price). - Beds: Comfortable and with electric blankets which were great. - Wifi: Super fast. - Bathrooms: Clean, hot showers and equipped with everything you need (toothpaste, Q-tips, soap, shower gel and shampoo) - Location: Great. Right next to the Silla burial grounds, a 10-min walk to the temples and museum (a must visit btw) and near the bus stop to go to any of the other spots. Overall a MUST STAY for anyone visiting Gyeonjyu!

    the room has too little space (walking way) for people to unpack and pack their luggage especially with big luggage. but not a big issue just that a little inconvenient when there are people sharing the room

    nice location! staff is friendly! toilet is so clean and they even have the hair straighter & cotton pad (make up area) . there’s leg massager as well! breakfast is Nice. can store luggage before and after the stay

    Beautiful and kind lady who works there. So helpful and sweet, she kept offering me traditional Korean food and drink to try. Clean and comfortable place to stay. Good quality bedding and facilities. Great showers! Breakfast was good, you can cook your eggs just how you like them! The location was very central but the other side of town to the bus terminals, about a 20 minute walk or short taxi ride. Really friendly hostel. I met a very interesting French guy, some Spanish people and Koreans too.

    The rooms are slightly on the smaller scale, but that's both an advantage and disadvantage as everything in the room feels well designed. In addition most people coming to Gyeongju stay 1 or 2 nights so the room being a little small for such a short stay is completely fine.

    Perfect for a short stay in Gyeongju. The hostel is within walking distance of everything to see in town or the bus going to Bulguksa. The staff was wonderful, shout out to Tina. They were happy to give recommendations and ask how your day was every time with a smile. It's super clean and the entire space feels super well designed from the beds, showers and kitchen. The breakfast is also a great addition, especially for such a cheap price. Overall you can't go wrong with this place considering the price and value.

    The lady at the front desk was lovely as sunshine, always smiling, always friendly, always helpful. I really liked the hostel (and I don't normally like hostels). It was spotless, breakfast was good, kitchen was well equipped, beds had blinds for privacy, nice common area if you want to meet other guests. There's a computer to use, and calf massagers. And did I mention the front desk lady? She was great; she deserves a raise.
