10.0 Highly recommended! - Ilay 10-02-2025

Positive points: Super cozy traditional house type guesthouse. Just a 2 minute walk from Sinchon subway station and a great central location where you can find available anything you need.nnThe room was very clean and warm inside, despite the coldest season. The shared bathroom outside in the yard was also clean and well maintained. There are only a small number of rooms so it was a quiet and felt really safe and private.nnIt was a great experience overall and I recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to stay. E.T. Imo is a lovely host and it was a pleasure meeting her.

10.0 Wow - so this is what perfection feels like - Tram 04-01-2025

Positive points: - The host, Mrs. Lee will go above and beyond for you. She was even helping me out on her birthday helping me book a super early taxi to get to the airport (thanks again!)n- The warm rooms (I am already missing warm floor heating)n- Felt like I had the place to myself (There were other guests but didn’t run into them often)n- Great for first time visitors to Korea like me (close to train and buses, close to shopping street area, super fairy godmother-like Mrs. Lee to help you out just a quick text away)

Negative points: Mrs. Lee got everything down and runs this place well. I can’t think of any points needed for improvement.

8.0 Good for the experience and location but for comfort especially if you’re staying for an extended time. - Jenny 27-11-2023

Positive points: The experience of staying at a traditional house. The host was very friendly and responsive to all my questions and requests.

Negative points: As a traditional house, I was not used to getting in and out of the room that’s it set higher from the ground. Getting heavy suitcases in and out was also a challenge. As there’s no central heating and only relying on heated floors and a heated blanket they provided, I found myself cold at times and did not sleep very well. I was surprised that there are also mosquitoes in the room which also affected my sleep at night and I got a few bites.

10.0 Get an authentic cultural home experience! - Juliana 14-11-2023

Positive points: I've always wanted to stay in a traditional Korean home and this was it! The owner goes out of her way to ensure your comfort. She's like your favorite auntie or sister. Each room was cozy with an attention to detail - low dimmed lamp next to the bed, bug swatter (you will need in humid weather), mosquito nets, thick blanket in the winter, and premium beds. It's also very quiet for a restful sleep. Rooms are nicely heated as were the bathrooms. This house accommodates a few guests at time so there was never a wait for the bathroom or use of kitchen. Strong wifi. The filtered drinking water is a bonus!

Negative points: Nothing!

10.0 Best location! - Ashidah 11-05-2023

Review: Near to sinchon station, easy access to bus station, safe neighbourhood. The host also very friendly!

10.0 A great one-night stay and an amazing host! - Katchina 06-09-2023

Positive points: The host was amazing! When I arrived at Sinchon Bus Stop with a lot of luggage, she offered to meet me at the bus stop and helped me with my luggage to the guesthouse. She showed me around the guesthouse and made me feel like I was at home. I stayed for one night following my check-in into my university dormitory the next day, and she helped me with booking a taxi for my luggage. I could also speak comfortably with the host as she spoke English :) The room and facilities were also great, I would definitely come and stay again!
