Bukchondaek

The best experience I had in Korea! Me and my family wanted to experience traditional staying in Hanok house in Korea since we are enthusiastic about Korean Traditional Culture. The owner received us in the evening and showed us to our room. The experience of sleeping in the traditional futon sheets and experience the Ondol system( which warms up the floor) was amazing. I felt as if I traveled back in time. In the morning we had a delicious Korean breakfast with soup, meat patties, japchae and some persimmons from the owners yard. Afterwards, the owner showed us the house and talked about his family's heritage. The most exciting part was when he showed us amazing clothing and accessories from more than 200 years ago. I super recommend 👌

Historic surroundings and an incredible host.

Mr, Ryu was a wonderful host. His English made up for our poor Korean abilities. The property is absolutely stunning, and the history behind Bukchondaek is rich and interesting. This was truly one of the most unique and meaningful places we have ever stayed. We enjoyed the experience of sleeping in the traditional Korean style, and the rooms were spotless. The meals were fabulous. Mr. Ryu's wife is an amazing cook. The most interesting part of our stay was learning about the ondol floor heating system that Mr. Ryu maintains in the traditional way. The location of Bukchondaek is perfect, too. Parking was available (entry to the village after 4:30).

We love the heritage house. We understand the proprietor is the 9th generation owner. The hanok maintained its character and therefore was a truly authentic experience. The breakfast spread, which we had in a separate dining room, was wonderful. Traditional and delicious. Located in the Hahoe village also meant it was easy to explore the village on foot. The owner was also very sweet and helpful and went the extra mile for us many times. Thank you!

Absolutely everything - authenticity, caring owner, beautiful and calm surroundings. It is a truly unique place where everything is thought about until the slightest details. By the way, we were offered korean meals’ dinners that were just delicious. I would certainly recommend staying in Bukchondaek for anyone travelling in Andong region.

The stay for me and my boyfriend was amazing. First of all staying in and discovering the Hahoe village felt like on a retreat. Secondly, we were for the first time staying in a Hanok and it was an amazing experience. Everything that can be modernized without disturbing the traditional looks of the Hanok has been like shower, toilet, AC in sleeping room. Besides the very unique Korean breakfast we even got a tour through the house which was built in 1797 and is led by the very kind and forthcoming owners in 9th generation. I can highly recommend a stay in the Bukchondaek.

Everything was more than perfect and exceeded my expectations.
