9.0 A lovely surprise! I enjoyed it very much. - Betsy 15-06-2025

Positive points: The owner of the property was very communicative and hospitable - he spoke to me in English. He met me when I arrived, introduced me to the amenities of the room as well as the common area and gave me some maps to better help me explore.

Negative points: The room was quite small and the bed was a little hard. Though, honestly, for the price the accommodations had great value. The house is located in a very interesting neighborhood, and it was lovely meeting some of the other guests at Hans House.

10.0 Exceptional - Michael 07-05-2025

Positive points: Hans house is a great value for the location. It's walking distance to gyeongbokgung Palace, bukchon hanok village, and a variety of popular attractions in Seoul. Mr. Han was a great host and I would definitely book this accommodation again next time Seoul.

9.2 Peaceful stay in great location - Song-I 01-06-2024

Review: Location can't be beat, and host is amazingly kind. The outside terrace is peaceful. If you have livelier neighbors you may be able to hear them, but it didn't bother us at all. Definitely would stay again!

10.0 I really enjoyed my stay. - シヨウ 19-04-2025

Positive points: The house was located in a small alley, surrounded by some old Hanok style houses/low buildings. It was located close to the food street and there were all kinds of stores nearby. I wanted to walk to Iwangsan in the morning and the location was perfect.

Negative points: Nothing

9.0 We'd book again - Simon 02-07-2024

Positive points: Relaxed and quiet, great location, friendly and helpful owner.

Negative points: Tiny for our 4.

10.0 Awesome host - Stephen 05-12-2023

Review: Host was very kind and helpful to introduce the places of interest and food around the stay. The room and surrounding was neat and clean and I had a wonderful stay there. Will definitely stay here again if I travel to Seoul in the future.

10.0 Exceptional - JIAXIN 30-06-2024

Positive points: The location was amazing. So close to the place and Buchon Hanok village. Lots of good food around. 5 min to subway and bus station with express bus to the airport.nThe host was very friendly and helpful and let me drop my luggage off in the morning.

Negative points: The room was a little tiny. The location was a little hard to navigate through the maps but becomes easier once you know the route.

6.0 Great location but small - Rian 21-04-2024

Positive points: The location is exceptional

Negative points: Small space for more than 2 persons. Common area accommodates only 2-3 guests at the same time, so it can be crowded. For a family it is rather small. There are only 2 beds, the others need to sleep on tatami mats on the floor. Shared toilet and shower is next to the toilet, so everything gets wet when taking a shower.

9.6 Mr Hans is wonderful, very accommodating. - Rainbow 11-09-2023

Review: Unlike another Seoul guest House I booked before I discovered Hans house, Mr Han waited up for me even though I arrived close to midnight. The location is a bit hard to find (many crocked streets, in the middle of Hanbok area) but Mr Hans sent me pictures on how to get to his location from subway station which is also where the Airport express bus stop dropped me off.nnLocation is super convenient but quiet, even though it is right off the culture food village - meaning we walked to have freshly prepared breakfast or late night snacks - although most places hours are opened from 10-10 only some soup places are opened for breakfast (as of Sept 2023)nI also borrowed clothes rack from Mr. Hans to dry clothes and a scale to weigh luggage when we left. nNote: we had the 2-twin beds arrangement room, and the bathroom is private but outside of our room. It is private because other rooms have the bathroom in their units so in theory, no one else uses our bathroom but we still need to dress properly when we go to the toilet. So be aware and ask specifically if you need and expect to have the toilet inside your unit. nOther than that, our room was big, about 15 feet x 15 feet (due to the fact the bathroom is outside) so plenty of room to spread out our shopping treasures :). The in-room fridge is Asian full size - meaning it can hold more than just beverages. The air conditioning unit is also in the room, meaning you can adjust the temp to whatever your preference is.nAll in all, I would return and stay with Mr. Han again, just because he is so nice and friendly.nSafe travels!

10.0 Highly recommended! - Criza 09-01-2024

Positive points: The location was great. Just a couple of minutes away from Gyeongbokgung Palace, bus station and the food alley. The owner was awesome, very nice and very helpful. Highly recommended! We spent Christmas Eve at the house and Mr. Han gave us rice cake and fruits. A sweet gesture that we really appreciate. My kids enjoyed playing at the garden as well especially during the snowfall on Christmas Day.

9.0 Thank you Mr. Han - Tennie 14-11-2023

Positive points: everything

Negative points: nothing

9.0 I really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it for its great location and quaint feel. - Michelle 08-10-2023

Positive points: Great location and the owner is very very nice and helpful. Cute little garden.

Negative points: My room was beside the kitchen and any noise of people coming in was very loud and when people do laundry it shook the entire room and was very loud. Unfortunately people decided to do laundry at 10pm. There should be a sign not allowing this at night!

8.8 Excellent - Jose 23-09-2018

Review: Pros: Preco, situdo proximo do Palacio

10.0 It was a great experience for a first timer in Korea. You get a glimpse of the peoples culture - Luzviminda 23-08-2023

Positive points: The location was perfect everything's just around the corner within walking distance: busses, taxis, subways, restaurants, malls, palaces, museums, street food everywhere. Close to Namsan Tower, too.

Negative points: The address of the property listed in booking.com was different so it was hard for the driver to locate it. Address should be updated. Thanks.
