Wonderful home away from home
Our hosts were absolutely gorgeous. I loved our stay here. I loved the old style of the house. Our room was roomy, comfortable but simple. We were right next to Daereungwon - actually we could see it on our porch, just over the fence. Walking distance to pretty much all of the historical sites. Although make sure you eat early as we found a lot of the restaurants around the area closed at 6 pm. We had a cute little dining room where we all perched on a bench next to a huge window where we can take in the view of our gorgeous "home". Our host cut up fresh fruit and put out a simple yet satisfying breakfast. We were sad to leave this wonderful place and if we come back to Gyeongju we will stay here.

nice hanok stay
the owner were very friendly, the place is clean and tidy, location is fantastic as it is next to the famous tomb and easy walking disttance to all places of interest, and lots of food places around. Witth floor heating, there is no feeling cold at night. I would stay in another hanok again if there is one that have a bed.

Great location, very nice owners.
The owners are very nice and speak good English. I got there really early in the morning to explore and was able to get into my room right away. The location is great, it’s right next to the burial mounds and easily walking distance to many of the main historic sights as well as a whole street of restaurants. Parking would probably be an issue, I didn’t drive but there didn’t seem to be much around. The room was clean and well cared for with an attached bathroom. The WiFi was solid too. I recommend the place for anyone looking to see the area and have a traditional night’s stay.

Fantastic location, friendly staff
The inn was located in an absolutely beautiful part of town, directly across from the main parks and attractions in town. We walked everywhere, and it was a fantastic base from which to see the tombs and parks! There is a ton to see and do here, and there are dozens of restaurants and cafes on the same street as this Hanok. The owner speaks completely fluent english, and the breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, toast and coffee was perfect. The courtyard was a wonderful place to sit snd enjoy the sights too. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, for its ideal location, beautiful buildings, and friendly owners. My only gripe was that the bathroom slippers seemed old and could be replaced.

My husband and I had a pleasant stay at Happy Village Syeobul Guesthouse - and recommend it for anyone looking to get a Korean Hanok stay experience. It's conveniently located to major sites that we were able to walk from our room. Thank you to the lovely couple that runs the guesthouse for your hospitality!

Great place to stay in The city
The hotel was really cool and easy to find. The owner spoke English really well and was very helpful with whatever we needed. He was happy to recommend restaurants, tell us where things were, and was very friendly. If I come back to the city, I will try to book it again.

Quaint Guesthouse
We thoroughly loved staying at this Guesthouse! It fits into the old city atmosphere of Gyeongju. The hosts have little English but work hard to make your stay comfortable. Sleeping on the floor on futons was quite comfortable and their beautiful quilts are cozy. Would certainly recommend this Guesthouse. Only issue was that it was difficult to find at first and the streets around the Guesthouse are narrow for driving.

It is a great place to stay!
It is a great place to stay to get a full Korean experience, rather than just the typical hotel. The staff was very friendly!! They even cut fresh fruits for you in the morning for breakfast! The room was much cleaner than I expected, and there were no bug problems!! I highly recommend this place! We had a very good experience!

A peaceful happy stay.
It's a great location next to the tumulis (one of the big sights in Gyeongju). It is a quiet serene place. The rooms are traditional ondol-style but quite comfortable. The floors heat up nicely. The bathroom is small but serviceable and clean. The host/manager, Jonathan is helpful and efficient. We enjoyed our 3 nights here a lot.

Clean and welcoming
Nice, new traditional hanok. The owner was quite nice (and spoke perfect English) and even offered us a second futon mattress to make the bed a bit more comfortable for those of us not used to sleeping on the floor. The hotel is across the street from and overlooks the Tumuli Park with ancient burial mounds. The room was small - as expected - but very clean and comfortable.

경주
숙소는 황리단길과 아주 가까워서 좋았어요. 주요 관광지로 이동할 때 도보로 다니기 좋았습니다. 천마총 담벼락 옆에 위치하고 있어서, 밤에 시원한 바람 맞으면 동네 산책하기 딱 좋은곳이네요. 건물중에 2층이 루프탑으로 되어있어서 밤에 맥주 한 잔 하기 좋은 장소도 있어서 만족스러웠어요. 객실 청소상태나 기본적인 청결상태는 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 위치, 청결, 분위기 다 좋았어요. 단점은 방음이 제대로 되지 않아서 잘때 좀 불편했어요. 후기를 보고 ‘소음이 얼마나 있겠어’ 라고 생각했는데, 후기랑 일치했네요. 또 다른 단점은 시건장치가 제대로 되어있지 않아요. 문 자체적으로 잠금장치가 따로 없고, 자물쇠로 잠그고 다녀야 합니다. 외부를 나갈땐 그렇다 치는데, 취침할때도 따로 잠금장치가 없어서 자물쇠로 내부에서 잠그고 잤네요.

C’est quand même dur de dormir à la coréenne !
Cet hôtel est constitué de plusieurs petits bâtiments reproduisant le style coréen. Les futons ne sont donc pas sur des tatamis comme au Japon donc c’est quand même assez dur... Les chambres ne sont pas très grandes et la salle de bain est minuscule mais bon, c’est le style. Le petit déjeuner buffet est assez rudimentaire mais frais. Je ne sais pas comment on fait quand il pleut car on mange dehors... L’hôtel est très près du site principal des tumuli, les restaurants ne sont pas loin non plus.

Would not go back
The staff was very nice and and helpful and it’s a perfect location in the city. You can see the tombs from the yard. But the sleeping situation was not good. The mattress was so thin it felt like you were sleeping on the floor and the pillows was small and filled with rice(?). I’ve stayed at more traditional places before but this mattress was by far the thinnest. The breakfast was compared to European standards very poor, but comparable to other breakfasts we have had in Korea.

굉장히 만족 합니다. 한옥이라고 다 같은 한옥이 아니더라구요. 건축 장인이 기와부터 대들보까지 정성들여 깎은 흔적이 보이구요. 주변 경치와 너무 잘 어우러저 사진도 너무 잘 나옵니다. 문을 열면 대청마루와 잔디가 바로 보이고 옆에 바로 대릉원과 황리단길 먹거리가 풍족해서 볼거리 먹을거리 다 편리해요^^ 걸어서 첨성대 왔다갔다 가능햐요^^/ 또한 경주는 거의다 한옥으로 지어진 숙박인데 여타 다른 한옥과는 외관부터 차원이 틀려요. 건축에 관심있으신 분들은 딱 보시면 아, 하고 아실듯 합니다. 안에는 당연히 따뜻한 온돌이 매력이며 사장님께서 직접차려주시는 아침으로 빵과 커피와 계란도 너무 맛있고 좋습니다. 아침은 8시부터 시작이라지요^^ 참, 화장실은 조금 좁은 감이 없지 않지만 그 어느 한옥보다 깨끗합니다. 만족했구요 다음에도 경주가면 여기서 숙박하려고요~ 친절하
