Host was wonderful and gave us a map and layout of the town. We had access to a patio and rooftop. Even though breakfast was not included, he gave us bananas, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, bread and coffee. I highly recommend staying there for a unique hanok experience.

Incredible Host!
Our stay here was lovely. The owner was kind and incredibly helpful — he gave us a map and directions on the best ways to see all the sights we were interested in. The rooms were spotless and the beds had heating pads, which were so cozy, as we were traveling in the fall and it was getting cool. All around a great stay — highly recommend for anyone looking for a more authentic experience unlike those you get at a regular hotel.

Traditional Hanok Homestay
It is a classic Hanok Style House with 5 bedrooms. 4 of them have connecting bathrooms, whereas the small single person does not. I had to walk out into the courtyard, only about 15 feet away, to use my own bathroom, but it was for my own use and it was clean. It is a beautiful home and the owners, who live nearby are so friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was comfortable with a good temperature. It was clean and exactly as you’d expect a traditional style of bedroom to be. The mattress is on the floor but it has heating and was pretty thick and comfy. They provided a small but good breakfast in the morning and have a small kitchen with refrigerator for guest convenience as well as a separate tea room. It was an enjoyable stay and I would stay again if I’m ever back in Gyeongju!

The overall stay was pleasant - the property is a traditional hanok house that is more than a 100 years old, run by an enthusiastic host. There aren’t convenience stores around the lodge but there are plenty in Gyeongju city so just buy some drinks and snacks to bring back and eat at the lodge if you want.
There are house rules that applies to all guests for efficient management of the hanok house.
The host generously provides free breakfast (this free breakfast may or may not continue in the future) at 8AM sharp for every guest in the lodge. He knocks fairly loudly on the door - for sensitive sleepers this may be a bit alarming.
The hosts also clean the hanok house every day and ventilates the house for maintenance by leaving the doors of all the guest rooms open. I believe they do this so they can clean up any mess some guests may have left behind which could impact the condition of the old hanok.
This lodge also has a concrete check out time and I don’t think they offer luggage keeping once you check out - but there’s plenty luggage holding facilities in Gyeongju area near the hwanglidangil.
This is a traditional and interesting place to stay - reminiscent to how older korean generations lived in hanok like this. The way of operation is different but if you’re the type of traveller that pop out in the morning to explore the area and return in the evening, you won’t have problems.

The overall experience was good. The owner has set rules, he wakes you up at 8am and provides an unofficial breakfast (boiled egg, bread, yogurt and a coffee) which is very kind of him. You'd need to be up by then as he'll keep knocking on your door - essentially he wants you out so he can clean the place. Bathroom is a wet room, there are only hand towels, no flushing toilet paper (which wasn't an issue). There are a lot of attractions nearby and all walkable - the owner will tell you all about them and give you a map which was helpful. There is also a tea room which was nice and had green tea. You can only lock room doors in the evening otherwise it has to be open. He is very precious about closing the entrance door of the property. Gave it a low rating as our last day he got very aggy with us, with check out being at 10am, the day before he said he'd like us out by 9.50am - not an issue - but on the day he just kept rushing us and wanted us out asap. So we left by 9.30am which runied our experience.

Our stay was wonderful. The property is lovely to stay at and comfortable. We enjoyed talking with the host about the best way to spend our time in gyeongju. He brought us a delicious simple breakfast, which was great because it has been challenging to find places open in the early hours.

The Hanok is easily walkable to all the historical area sites to see. Host is so bubbly! He gave a good introduction to the area showing us on the map so we could get the most out of our time here. The rooms are gorgeous. Even though breakfast is not included the host prepared a light breakfast for everyone with coffee at ~8am. Perfect to start the day as nothing opens early.

Excellent stay in a traditional hanok home — very cool experience and you cannot beat this location. Walking distance to all the main sites and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to meet other guests and hang out in a friendly atmosphere. Early wake up for breakfast but that did not bother us. We really loved the city and stayed 2 nights.

An authentic hanok with lovely, engaging owners. While the location is not really central, it is easily accessible both by bus and on foot. Some of the nice, greener areas of the city are close. We loved the surprise breakfast and the tea room.

Unique Korean experience
This was a great experience in traditional Korean housing. It was a lovely stay near the ponds and museum. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. There are a few rules and quirks to staying here and it can be noisy depending on who’s staying.

Incredible value for the price. The host is really kind and helpful, the location is great, and the accommodation itself is exactly what you want from a Hanok stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, too. I had trouble sleeping on my trip prior to staying here, and was able to fall asleep almost immediately upon getting comfortable in my room. Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience
What a lovely house to call home for a few days while staying in beautiful Gyeongju. The owners are incredibly friendly and care a great deal about making sure you have a pleasant stay. The accommodation is simple, but that is to be expected given the unique stay experience. The walls are quite thin, so you must be mindful of your volume early in the morning and late at night. It says that your stay doesn't include breakfast, but every morning we were provided hard boiled eggs, assorted pastries, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. I would definitely recommend this hotel. 10/10.

Busybody owner-no privacy
Near main road.
Isolated location from town but near a couple of tourist sighs.
Owner proceed free breakfast which was kind. But I felt like I was in a military camp: woken and told many times to eat the breakfast. He kept repeating instructions (over five times). We got it the first time. He means well but needs to self regulate better.
Lack of personal private space. Really nearly ruined our stay.
