This place is seriously in the heart of traditional Jeonju, with the more upbeat Jeonju only 10 minutes away. You can enjoy the silence in the beautiful hanok (but there was a very amazing traditional Korean performance one night too!) but then sing your heart out at karaoke a few blocks further. The host is super helpful and really kind (I got extra water bottles without asking and he also helped with how to get a taxi back to the station), you're allowed to smoke in the garden, the self-made bed was comfortable enough, and honestly; the vibe was just nice. Food in Jeonju is great and the people are so sweet.

The bathroom had a bit of a smell to it, but if you keep the door closed it does not become a problem; the AC also works just fine to fix the smell.

I like everything! A very seemless and quick self check in. The host also contacted me a few hours before check in time to brief on how to check in etc. It makes me less worry. Checkout also easy. Host can speak english and js very polite. The room we booked is clean, toilet has auto bidet and auto flush. Bathing gel and shampoo provided and smells good, the shampoo makes my hair very soft. Small towels provided but if you need more can get it from the laundry room. Kettle provided if you need ramyeon middle of the night haha. Overall, its a very comfortable stay and i'll for sure rebook in future for a few days more!

I stayed at GaEunChae for one night, and the experience felt magical. Sleeping on a futon in a traditional hanok in the heart of a historic village was authentic and memorable. The host provided clear directions for arrival, and the underfloor heating kept the room cozy. Basic amenities, like towels (more available in the common room), shampoo, and shower gel, were provided, and there was hot water in the shower. The self-check-in process was smooth and flexible, with access details sent via WhatsApp, and my name was written on a whiteboard outside my assigned hanok - a thoughtful touch. While no breakfast is included, there are plenty of nearby options with beautiful views, and a convenience store is just at the end of the alley. I also appreciated the flexibility to store my luggage in the common room after check-out.

While the stay was overall pleasant, a few things could be improved. The towels provided were rather small, so more than one is needed. The room itself was small, with no cabinet space and just two hangers, which may be part of the authentic hanok experience but could be inconvenient for some guests. A kettle was provided, but having tea or coffee in the room would have been a nice addition. Additionally, the hanok is not soundproof, so you may hear sounds from neighbouring rooms - something to consider if you’re looking for complete quiet.

This was a fun experience staying in a more traditional Korean accommodation. The room is small, but you know that when you book so it's all part of the experience. It's in a great location in the jeonju hanok village and very quiet. I liked sleeping on the floor and setting up the bedding each day. The shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom are so nice that we bought some from Olive Young to take home with us. It was surprisingly quiet.

The temperature in the loft area was quite different to below, so difficult to keep the aircon temperature suitable for everyone. I found the bedding quite comfortable, but my family wished it had more padding.

The location of the property is excellent. I spent a few days here to explore the hannok village at my own pace and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room that I had was at the side of the property which gives more privacy than the courtyard rooms. The staff are always available on WhatsApp or other platform.

I didn't give staff 100% rating because I didn't actually see anybody until day 4.

It is one of the best experiences you could have in Jeonju. The hanok itself is very pretty and authentic. I love a concept of the floor bed (my back feels really good after, but my bf said it’s a subjective point haha). The room was nice for two people with a small carry on luggage. You could get some extra things (like a tea table or bigger towels) per request. Owner provides a lot of useful information about the city, restaurants around etc. Check-in system is quite convenient as well. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a pleasant experience and nice price/quality ratio stay in a hanok village.

Great location in the middle of the hanok village. Host was also very approachable and friendly with all the queries (eg asking for restaurant recommendations). Place was no frills but clean and comfortable. You could access additional towels as needed, even though only small towels were available, so that was no issue. Room came with a mini fridge, hair dryer, mini mirror so you can do your makeup even if the toilet is in use, kettle, insect spray. Private toilet. Water pressure was good, water was warm. Found two bottles of water at our doorstep the next day which we appreciated.

One night the water fluctuated between warm and slightly cool, so I’m not sure if it’s because different rooms were showering at the same time.

Was beautiful to stay in a hanok accommodation, very safe and close to everything around the village.

It took me a while to realise that there was not desk front, on arrival you need to call the hotel manager to give you access to your room. So it’s a must to have credit to call and a korean number. It was hard to get my luggage to the room because the doors and floor with little stones. There are some shoes you can use inside the room but both were very dirty.

The staff was very helpful. They contacted me via different apps and by booking as well providing information to arrive to the property and for the checking. They also helped me with restaurant recommendations. I could leave my suitcases there the day I checked out while visiting the city. Also, the location was great. It was a great experience for my first time staying in a hanok, a traditional korean house, and sleeping in a traditional futon.

Everything went as expected.

Ga Eun Chae is a great Hanok stay centrally located in the heart of Jeonju Hanok Village. The houses are super authentic with unique design, I love the paper doors & wooden beams, but it’s also practical and even the futons are comfortable. The bathroom is super clean and modern. The owners, family run, are super kind and gave out incredible recommendations for authentic Korean meals in Jeonju. My Hanok had a nice view of a courtyard, overlooking a converted library.
