“Amazing experience - I wish I had stayed longer.”

Such an amazing host. He took me to the DMZ and helped me organise a tour at very short notice. His friend even cooked us Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and did a specialty vegetarian one for me. My only regret is I could not stay longer.

Mr Yoon was so nice, and made sure to help us get tickets for the DMZ. He even arranged for us to ring the peace bell and made a dinner and breakfast for all of us. He created a wonderful memory for us! Big recommendation!

“Guesthouse DMZ Stay is top tier.”

The room was comfy, and Mr Yoon made it such a memorable experience. He drove us to and from the DMZ, gave us free drinks, and even showed us a bit of dancing. Definitely recommend.

“Best guesthouse, best hospitality!”

The host Mr Yoon is the best host ever. We had lots of fun with him, and he picked us up and dropped plus off at the train station. It was really interesting to talk to him about Korean culture and history. The guesthouse is very clean and comfortable, with lots of space for everyone. Me and my two adult children shared a bunk room and it was a good room for us. You can walk to the DMZ park if you want to go there too, where there are interesting museums and activities. It was nice to go to a part of Korea that was out of the city, and it was a good place where you could meet Korean people and travellers too.

“Best place to be when visiting Paju & the DMZ”

The Guesthouse offers all you need for a stay in the area or a DMZ visit. Our host was the best, picking us up from the station and driving us to the DMZ. We had incredible Korean BBQ and a super fun evening. Thanks for everything.

Even before we arrived - we felt our stay at DMZ Guesthouse would be special and it certainly proved to be so. Our host Mr. Yuun is the most charismatic, engaging and attentive person you could ever wish to meet. We fully embraced the slower pace of life having previously stayed in Seoul. The countryside area of DMZ Guesthouse is so very tranquil and beautiful. A mere 30 minute walk to the DMZ 3rd Tunnel, Observatory and Peace Park this guesthouse is ideally located for people who want to experience the DMZ tour at their own pace and yet be welcomed wholeheartedly each day at this accommodation. The public transport is excellent and cheap with a T-Money card. If travelling from Seoul on the train to Musan Station, get the 052 bus outside Musan Train station (please check timings @ every 40 minutes) the last stop is a minutes walk away from the guesthouse. There are other buses that could be used - 058 and 093 that will leave you with a 5 minute walk. Cost was only W2,450 from Seoul to here. Back to the Guesthouse - this is a great accommodation. We had the twin room but there are 2 dormitories that respect gender privacy. Seperate Male and Female shower and toilet areas adds to the respect. The communal area has an inside and outside area within a combined kitchen with microwave, kettle and fridge. Also a coffee machine is available 24/7. Great breakfast is included with toast, jam, bananas and coffee which all tastes great. If you want - then it could be arranged to have a BBQ but cooking your own food is the best option. There are a couple of restaurants within 2 minutes walking distance that are very good. This guesthouse and our host will live in our memories for always. We had the most amazing experience and felt lucky to meet such an engaging person - especially with the DMZ tour on the doorstep. Please also ask about the DMZ Waltz and the story behind it...truly emotional. 10 out of 10 in every way and we thank you Mr. Yuun.

It is a simple Guesthouse but the kindness of the owner and the location make it a unique experience!

“Amazing 🇰🇷🇰🇷”

“Nice experience in the DMZ , walk to the group tours”

Great host , best I’ve ever had. Really goes out of your way

The best experience you can have in South Korea. A must-visit place

“Amazing experience”

Exceptional experience. I have travelled for many years across over 50 countries and the hospitality of Mr Yoon was unmatched. He kindly picked me up from Munsan station and to the DMZ area, always offering to help at all times. He's a genuine and beautiful soul and I hope to visit again soon

Amazing idea. Very great option in a quaint little area not far from the DMZ. Gives you an opportunity to visit more like a local without having to take the bus tour from Seoul. You will have so much more freedom this way to visit at your own leisurely pace, and to see some of the other exhibits handy also. Owner is great and I must thank him for running me my sunglasses after I nearly forgot them before getting on the bus 😁 so glad I found this. Highly recommended.

“Owner was amazing! Incredibly friendly and helpful!”

Owner was amazing!!!

Great stay - great host - Way cheaper and better way of doing DMZ Cost us around 9 dollars to do the tour Great time with the host

The owner is very nice , show us and explain us this area. Even helps us for a lot of things, make us this trip easy and comfortable

“Had a wonderful stay, host was very kind and welcoming!”

Wonderful host! Got great recommendations, was very friendly/kind, was even nice enough to drop me off at the train station. I felt very welcome.. Be sure to check out the restaurant next door if you can!!

“Perfect”

The twin room turns out much better than the photo shows. The whole guesthouse is super clean and comfy. The host Mr. Yoon is welcoming and made miltiple trips to transfer us from and to Munsan Station as well as the DMZ visitor center. Highly recommend an optional private Bird Watching Tour offered by Mr. Yoon. The tour is only available in winter season which showcases elegant cranes from Siberia. Mr. Yoon drove us to a restricted zone where there are loads to see. This is easily the most enjoyable tour we have ever had.

“Good accomodation in excellent location”

Very clean and organized space. The owner Yuun was really nice and welcoming and helped however he could. Bicycles are also available for rent but you might not even need them as it’s close to the DMZ and even walking is possible.

“The host was fantastic! The location was amazing and it was just a really great experience!”

The host was fantastic! The location was amazing and it was just a really great experience!

“Definitely recommend!”

I booked this guesthouse very spontaneously not knowing if I'd get to visit DMZ or not but the great references made me want to book it even just for meeting Mr Yoon! With the help of him, I was very lucky enough to still get ticket to visit DMZ the same day I arrived (even if I arrived late). The references couldn't describe the owner better, Mr Yoon is such a kind-hearted friendly person. Definitely makes a big difference to your travel experience to feel so welcomed and sharing stories with a local. Other than the host, the guesthouse is a nice big house, very clean and comfortable beds. Thank you so much Mr Yoon for making my trip even more memorable!
