The room was clean and the futon was comfortable to sleep in. The host was the nicest I met. Sitting us down when we first arrived to recommend us place to see and eat. Though it was stated that breakfast was not provided, but he make sliced bread and spreads available in the pantry. He even gave us fruits and snacks. Most of all, he help us call cab and walk us to the pick up point (important to us because some roads are closed on weekends at the Hanok village).

We rent a family room for 2 adults and a teenager. The room is only big enough to open up 1 large luggage after laying out the futons. Bath towels are size of face towels. Fine with us but you might want to consider bringing your own towel if this does not suit you. (Note : I do realize many home stays in Korea provide only face towels. Thus it may be a norm).

The property is a traditional laid back accommodation with simple and comfortable amenities. It was within the Hanok Village but too central that there’s too much foot traffic. It was peaceful and quiet here. The owner was hands on in treating his guests and we appreciate his efforts in making our stay enjoyable. He gave us a map and took time to explain the locations. There were enough towels and toilet paper and the pillows were comfortable. The bed was simple and clean. I would recommend this place for not only the traditional Hanok experience but also for the personal touch of the owner in improving your overall experience in Jeonju.

Nothing.

What a lovely, small and beautiful guesthouse! Its not really old, but is build in the traditional Hanok-style. So perfect! Beautiful, nice, and comfortable! Goods beds. We had one room, with two big beds and two bathrooms. Spacious enough for our family of 4. And the owners were unbelievable friendly and helpfull! My wife had badly injured her foot just before, so they changed to a more confortable room for us, they made and brought us breakfast every morning (although they don't even serve breakfast) , and even drove us to the trainstation when we left! We never experienced so much help and support, absolutely amazing hosts! But even without these incredibly lovely hosts we would recommend this guesthouse. Its perfect, good located in the old Hanok village, and right next door to some good restaurants. Perfect stay!

Garden is not big and wouldn't really call it a garden to sit in, but it is nevertheless cozy and a small mutual area in front of the rooms. We really liked our stay here, and would strongly recommend when staying in Jeonju and you want to stay in the beautiful, lively, touristy old Hanok-village.

The location is quite nice, as it’s close by the Hanok village area (3min walk to the main street with all the shops and restaurants). Additionally, it’s by the river so you can go to the walkways there and enjoy a nice stroll. Easily accessible from the Jeonju train Station using the bus, it’s also quite close to the shopping district where there are not just shops but also the majority of nice bars, restaurants and also to visit some of Jeonju’s staple locations. The owners were amazing, always ready to help and make sure you have everything you need. Their stay is honestly perfect for a weekend trip in Jeonju. Their rooms were extremely clean, the bed linings where all clean, and the combo of that plus the heated floors where sure to keep you warm and cozy indoors. Will definitely be back here if I ever visit Jeonju again.

Nothing.

A beautiful simple little room with traditional Korean style futons on the floor. The rooms look into a very sweet courtyard and the location is extremely good. The highlight is the helpfulness of the owner who showed us where to eat and visit in town when we checked in. He even organised a taxi to the station for us on our last morning. There is a sweet little help yourself kitchenette with bread, jam, coffee and tea. The owner prefers to be paid in cash, so it’s good to plan your pay that way.

Futons are hard for those used to Western-style beds. This wasn’t a problem but could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

Location was stellar - it's right within the Hanok Village and everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance. There's plenty to explore, see, and eat within a few minutes of wandering. The bus stop to/from Jeonju Station is within a few minutes of walking as well. Our room was clean and comfortable. The courtyard is really cute, with a variety of flowers and plants that made me smile whenever entering or exiting. There's even a little "self corner" where you can make tea, coffee, or toast bread with jam that the host has available whenever. (There's a "Korean tea," as it was described during check in - it's a Solomon's seal tea that we liked so much, we made some every night and plan to buy.) The host and his wife are extremely friendly! Upon check-in, we were sat down with a map and shown where we were staying, along with an introduction to the key areas to visit or eat at, as well as rough distance. In the morning, I was sketching in the courtyard while waiting for my friend to wake up and they started chatting with me. All the wood signs were made by the host himself! Every room has a beautiful handmade wood carving by him.

I loved my host, soon as I arrived we sat on the floor with a map and he explained the area a little and some recommendations to eat, which I did try and I must say he was right! Very very nice place with the most amazing and friendly people! The location was perfect, for me, not in the centre of the village but on the outskirt which was next to the water/river so I managed to use the path alongside it to run everyday! I’d definitely stay here again!

There’s not a thing I did not like!

The host and the homeliness of the place. Also, the heated floors are wonderful during winter! The ahjussi was very kind. We reached rather late at night (around 9pm ish during winter). It is a small suburban town hence, majority of the shops closed rather early (also due to winter, the day is shorter). Please give the host a call and he will come and explain to you how to enter etc.. Upon our first night arrival, the ahjussi gave us a lift to a shop across the river (across the accommodation) bcos we haven’t had dinner and he insisted that we shouldn’t go to bed hungry and sent us to one of the closest store that was still open so we could get hot soup for dinner.

Probably the futon, if you have back problem, ideally one night will be sufficient cos I had a backache after sleeping on futons for two nights.

The owners were extremely helpful and kind. We got sat down and shown a map with directions to bus stops we can use and restaurants we can go to. They made sure we knew how to get to their accommodation, that we were comfortable and that we knew how to go to the KTX station. They are a big reason of why we enjoyed our stay in Jeonju, and we will definitely come back should we have another opportunity to visit Korea again. As for the room, it was exceptionally clean and well maintained. A beautiful hanok that we found comfortable to stay in.

Nothing - exactly as advertised and more!

The location is just a stone throw away from the main street. There is a tasty noodle veteran kalkugsu shop nearby. The host is very helpful and friendly, he even gives us a map to tell us about the eateries, the attraction places etc. the bed was new and very comfortable. We changed to the biggest room with 2 bathrooms that came with a high bed instead of sleeping on the floor upon check in. The house is very well maintained by the host. Thank you for giving my family a beautiful stay in jeonju!
