    I was so surprised to meet a nice and quiet owner with beautiful smiling. Plus, the place had a big window and you can see the river and the market every day. If it's the weekend, you can listen to music or concerts during the night market. It's near for the hanok village, the park, the Jaman mural village, etc. I was happy to find such a great place. Thank you

    The location was 15min walk to the historical village of Jeonju, however it was just beside a local street market and the waste bins were not collected for the duration of our stay and smelled badly. The owner come at any time to the premises without clear reason or warning.

    We had the whole place for ourselves and it was great!

    only thing is the futon does not seem to be cleaned that you sleep on and it’s thin, so not the most comfortable sleep.

    well laid out guesthouse. nice living room and kitchen, relatively clean, easy checking in, lady is kind and welcoming.

    A very sweet guesthouse that has a traditional feel but modern comforts. The owner was lovely and waited for us to arrive in the evening to check us in. The room was a great size and offered futon and Western-style beds. The shared living area and kitchen are well-stocked and maintained. The location is good, only a 10-minute walk to the market and Hanok village.

    Not really a negative but some folks should note the guesthouse is not a hotel so the bathroom and heating are both typical of Korea (wetroom and ondol).

    The location is great- right across the river from the traditional market and a short walk from the hannok village. The host was incredibly kind and helpful and our room was excellent! The beds were clean and comfortable, the room was spacious and pretty well soundproofed.

    The futon beds on the floor are okay but not the most comfortable.

    Really lovely guest house and friendly host. The communal area was light clean and spacious. The room and bathroom were minimal Korean style. There was only one other guest during our stay so the house was very quiet. Location was also a short walk from the popular tourist sights. The hostess has a small restaurant downstairs and the food was really good!

    rooms were tiny. no real stores or restaurants nearby aside from the market.

    location was brilliant. 300 mtrs to Nambh Market. 800 mtrs to Hanok Village. short cheap taxi ride to bus terminal ~6000 krw. hostess was polite and friendly. although spoke very little english. place was clean. rooms were tiny - but i knew that prior to paying.

    it was rather small, but that is understandable as it is a traditional Korean home.

    it was a relaxed neighborhood. very quite and quaint accommodation.

    We knew this apartment was basic but you really need to brace yourself for how basic it is. Basically three empty rooms, a few futons piled up in the corner and a homemade coffee table made from scrap wood. No chairs to sit on no kitchen table, we were told we could sit on the coffee table to watch tv. We asked for chairs and the owner gave us some from her restaurant downstairs. The three long flights of stairs are a secret until you arrive with your cases. Old food splashes on the tiles and the cook top, an old tiny piece of soap with body hair in it left on the bathroom basin to wash our hands. The building is located in the worst and filthiest street in the whole town, there are daily markets held outside where they leave fruit and vegetable scraps behind and gut fish on the footpath and gutter without cleaning up. There are stacks of polystyrene boxes used for fish covered in blood and fish residue that stink. As a result the stairwell to the apartment is constantly full of flies.

    Leaving, at least the owner tried her best to be friendly and helpful but she doesn't have much to work with.

    The futons were not thick enough and the floor was hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom and room were extremely small. There were other families that stayed there with small children. They were in the common area until about 10pm making quite a lot of noise. It's nice to be in a family friendly environment, but we would have liked a bit more peace and privacy.

    Kind host that greeted us and a family friendly feel to the guesthouse. The living space and kitchen were nicely set up with supplies, water, and access to a fridge.

    1) We stayed in a room called "Korean style", so it was supposed to come with a futon. But what we got was not a futon, but a slightly thicker than normal cover, about 1,5cm, laid on a hard floor (although heated). It was impossible to sleep on your side (because the hip hurt) and after sleeping all night on your back on a hard surface, you almost lose feeling in your butt. 2) Moreover, the window was not openable (even though in the photo it looks like it is - on the surface there's a traditional-looking board, but underneath it's just a plain glass window), and we weren't provided with the AC remote. So I slept badly, because the room got very stuffy. 3) The bathroom was super small, and that's saying even for Korean (small) standards. You showered standing in a cramped space between the sink, door and the WC, and additionally you had to remember to cover the door with a curtain (taking up yet some more space), because otherwise the water would leak to the room.

    - great location, near the touristic spots - very nice shared space (board- and videogames, TV kitchennette, etc.)

    I could hear clearly the french couple in the room close to mine (and I speak french too), and also other people in other rooms not close to mine, even when they were just talking, I could literally hear every word. I had to wake up early the next day and when people were in the share espace, from my room I could hear even more. So it was really difficult to sleep. There is a microwave and some hot water but you can't really cook, that would have been great to have that, but that's a plus :-) So great if you can sleep even when there is noise, not my case sadly

    It was a warm place, 15 minutes walking to attractions. I had my room and my own toilette, and the responsable answers fast :-)
