ホストがとてもフレンドリーで、ホストが手作りの朝ごはんは美味しいかったです!どこも清潔でした。

中心部に泊まるよりもアクセスが少し悪く、移動に時間がかかりました。山が近いのでハイキングに行く予定の方や時間がたっぷりある方にはいい場所だと思います!

"Best guesthouse experience"

10.0

This was my second stay at The Kims and just as fantastic as the first one 1,5 year ago - I made many precious memories during both of them. Young In is a wonderful host and takes care of every guest like a family member - including catering to everyone’s dietary requirements and preferences - and Sam can offer great hiking (and more) tips around Seoul. The neighborhood where the guesthouse is located, Buam-dong, is also among my favorites in the whole city. Group breakfast at the main table is a great opportunity to connect with other travelers all around the world. I’ll surely come back when I’m in Seoul the next time / hopefully very soon. Thank you for your warm welcome ❤️ 감사힙니다

"Must stay!"

10.0

I stayed for one week and had an incredible time. The Kims were so kind and welcoming, they treated me like family. They taught me a lot about Korea and Seoul, and provided recommendations of things to do. I did a cooking class and a guided hike with them, both were fantastic experiences. The breakfasts provided were amazing. The location is beautiful and the home is spacious and clean. I have travelled to many places and this is one of the best guesthouses ever! Staying with them was a highlight of my trip.

"The best accomodation in Seoul!!!!"

10.0

On my 3 months long trip tis was by far the best accommodation I had. The Kims are the most caring, friendly, kind and helpful hosts! Ms. Kim is an excellent cook and prepares breakfast for the guests every morning fresh. I was looking forward to breakfast every morning! The location of the guesthouse is stunning, up in the hills but just a quick bus ride from the city centre, you could even walk if you wanted. You can also Strat some really nike hikes for the guest house with sweeping views over the city. Mr Kim also offers personalized tours to the DMZ and a sunset spot. The house is very beautiful and my room was very comfy and the bed and pillows were great, I had a wonderful quiet sleep! Everything was super clean and the Kims do everything to make you feel welcome and comfortable. I felt like part of their family and it was amazing to meet other guests around the big round table over amazing Korean breakfast. I was sick for a couple of days and Mr Kim was so caring and lovely, I will forever be thankful for the amazing time I had there! If I will return to Seoul, there is only place I would stay which is the Kims Guesthouse! I cannot recommend the Kims Guesthouse enough!

Nothing everything was perfect!

"Loved every moment of my stay!"

10.0

It was an amazing experience. Every morning we had breakfast together with the hosts and other guests and it was very nice. Young In (one of the hosts) is an amazing cook so I could try so many new dishes I had never had before. I was very lucky and got invited to some activities and we spent the Lunar New Year’s dinner together and also when it was my birthday they celebrated with me! Definitely recommend it to everyone!!
