    Junny is an excellent host and provides some really useful information about where to go and where to eat. The accomodation has everything you need if you plan on being out for the day. The room is very clean and new towels are provided every day. The guesthouse is a short walk from the main historical site and a variety of other attractions, restaurants and bars. There are also regular buses from the end of the road.

    Junny was really a great host! She knew a lot about how to move around all the city and the surroundings and was really prepared, for example, about the exact time in which was better to take that bus. She really helped me a lot in seeing the best of Gyeongju and some things outside I didn’t know about. She also helped me a lot in finding a notebook I had lost and I really am grateful to her! The room was nice and comfortable. Everything was written down (also in English!) and all the instructions were really clear, even for foreigners, a thing I found it difficult to find in other places in South Korea.

    Great location, walking distance to most of attractions , food and intercity bus terminal /stops. The host explains the attractions and advises the best time to catch the bus to the temple . Much appreciated as it saves time to connecting shuttle

    Walking distance to Gyeongju's main attractions. Located in a small alley which makes it quiet. Restaurants, shops, cafes, bus stops around. Cosy guesthouse. Very clean. Despite the fact that the guesthouse has existed for 10 years, it looks fresh and new. The room is comfortable and facilities as per Korean standards. Junny was a precious source of information and planned our entire sightseeing day with impressive precision and efficiency. Great local restaurant recommendations. I would surely stay there again.

    Junny the owner with her husband truly is the heart of this place. She was so generous with her recommendations which were all amazing! She really is a great ambassador of the city and local businesses. The rooms are basic but lovely and clean. Junny was also really conscious to ask if I was warm enough with the changing seasons. For extra blankets etc.

    The room was a bit plain, but we expected that and it had all the basics we needed!

    As other reviews have said, the owner Junny is very friendly! Her husband is also very helpful-- if you can speak a bit of Korean. We talked for a long time, got a bunch of recommendations and it made our trip so much better. Highly recommend!

    I find it hard to sleep in a room that isn't dark, but that's a personal thing. The railway station is a long way out of town and you will need to take a taxi or find out the local bus number.

    Excellent location within easy walking distance to the historical sites, local restaurants and a 7/11. The bus stop for the big temple and the museum is close by. My room was furnished very simply with two single beds and a stool and with power points near the beds. The beds are Korean style in that they are quite firm and don't come with sheets. However, they are still comfortable. The bathroom is small in typical Korean guesthouse style. Toiletries are provided. Breakfast is bread, cheese slices and eggs. There is orange juice and you can make coffee. Junny is very kind and caring and explains everything while providing a map and all the information that you need. No issues with the WiFi.

    Junny was the most helpful person since the first minute we got in the hostel. We got such a warm welcome, which we didn't expect. We got information from the town, places to eat... And she was always there to chat or ask us how our day had been. Thanks so much!

    Junny was an amazing host who was very knowledgeable about Gyeongju and was able to plan an itinerary of must-dos in Gyeongju for me based on the number of days I was staying. I particularly loved the personalised plan and treatment I received from Junny, and it definitely made my Gyeongju experience even better! The room and bathroom were clean, and the bathroom had required amenities such as toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, etc.

    Junny is incredibly proactive and helpful! She went the extra mile to check everything for us and make sure we got to where we needed to go, when we were supposed to. During check in she tried to message me a couple times, but I could not check my emails, so she left all the information at the front desk for me. Very patient of her and very bad of me! Definitely stay with her in her very cosy hostel if you get a chance!
