Communication - I enquired about earlier check in and was advised “if available” but when I arrived, there was nobody there until check in time.

Location and convenience

Stayed in May 2024

Not to do specifically with the hotel, but the adjacent bar they encourage you to visit is dingy and the food isn't good. I was there during low season so not any foreigners to mingle with and locals that were at the hostel stuck together.

Very good price, bed was pretty uncomfortable (but hard beds seem to be the norm in South Korea and I was sore from hiking). Shared kitchen was clean-ish (on par with what they usually are). Appreciated the free parking spaces.

Great campfire evenings might result in some noise during the night.

Great stay with a good location and friendly, helpful staff. The breakfast is also excellent compared to other hostels. The room was clean and efficiently set up. There's a nice campfire in the evening, which is great for connecting with fellow travelers. You'll have some great evenings there.

Nothing.

Courtyard, clean room. Loved the courtyard dogs! Breakfast was great, meat and cheese, eggs to fry up on your own.

I felt super comfortable as a solo traveler because the staff and other guests were super helpful and open. The location is great to walk the coast or connect to public transport for Hallasan. The bonfire in the yard surrounded by the dogs was super inviting. And the bunk bed was pretty comfortable too, that's a plus. Would definitely come back again.

The best hostel in Jeju maybe! They serve breakfast, have washing machine and super friendly and english speaking staff. Big garden too to hang out.

Everything was really good

Hostel is located very close to the city centre, many restaurants and food market. They also have a free parking if you have a rented car. Personnel is nice and helpful. Rooms are clean, big enough and beds are comfortable. On the top floor there is a terrace with a really nice view. And last but the most important thing - there are three beautiful dogs that are really friendly and love cuddles :)

The kitchen/indoor communal area isnt that big so if you cant use the outdoor space (eg. in case of rain) you dont have that many options.

The rooms were very spacious and every bed in my room had its own courtain which gave them an extra level of privacy. The bathroom was clean and shampoo etc including toothpaste was provided. The court was pretty big and it was nice to sit around the fire to talk to other travellers. In Seogwipo the hostel is well located you cab reach pretty much everything in a walk. Busses to everywhere else on the island start from different stops, all within a few minutes.

They don't clean the room during your stay, which is ok if you're staying for one or two nights, but can be a bit inconvenient if you're staying longer.

The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Always willing to help, to chat, to give advice...the best I've met.

I didn't know there are three big dogs living there, and I am allergic. Thankfully it wasn't a problem, as they are often outside. Also there was a bbq party advertised, but when I asked to participate, it was not available. Finally, the showers are very good, but the hot water doesn't get very hot. It's not a big problem as it is sufficient, but seogwipo can be very windy and cold!

I had a great stay at backpacker's home. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. I also met some really friendly guests there. The facility was in an unexpectedly great location, as I really enjoy walking the olle trails. There are three separate trails starting across the street from the home. Even though I booked my stay with no plans, it was fun and easy to make them! I really loved my roommates as well, and even had a night alone, as I stayed during the off season. I was surprised that they have a camp fire every night and a pub next door. It provided a good atmosphere to get to know other guests. I had sworn off guesthouses in the past due to a bad experience, but really enjoyed my stay at backpacker's and would happily stay there again!

We could not enjoy the breakfast as the time allowed (8 to 9) was too short.

The terrace is super nice and comfy with the campfire and the room was very clean

Very comfortable and clean.

I visited January I wasn’t able to meet new people as much and most visitors were korean native was not able to mingle as much

I like that the location is walking distance from beautiful places such as hwanguji coast and jangyuri park

It's a great property. However, during bad weather, there was no community space to hangout in.

Love the location. Staff is great. Breakfast is good. Best hostel that I have stayed in all of Jeju.

The vibe is great, it's comfy, friendly and clean. The location is very convenient and the breakfast was the best I had in Korea.

Nice room and buffet breakfast. The staff are accommodating too. One of them (forgot to ask the name) even drove me to the nearest bus stop so I can take the bus to the airport since taxi's expensive. Kudos to you! 감사해요! 😊 I wasn't able to join their bbq party as I always come home late. Maybe next time I visit Jeju. I will definitely stay here again.

Not such a hospitable and social mindset

Clean

Stayed in October 2023

The timelines for check-in are really flexible, perfect for travelling from the airport. Close to the bus stops, cafes, supermarkets. Breakfast in the morning with various options. Room was comfortable, private space due to curtains, clean shower and toilet. Roof terrace has a pretty view.

Stayed in October 2023

Very social, which is always a highlight for a solo traveller. The location was pretty central to everything, you could walk to most places of that city area. The guesthouse owners and/or workers were also very polite, helpful and welcoming. The rooms were big which was good (as I had so much luggage) and the beds were really comfy.
