“Good choice to visit Jeju island!!”
Many private rooms for a very decent price, very spacious. Hostel is quite large in setup and had multiple areas to socialize, among which a bar that's open to the public. Kind staff. With a QR code you can join a group chat. Many options for food very near the hostel, market makes for a great evening stroll with people you meet at the hostel and to share food.

Staff were the most friendly and helpful people during my stay in Korea. Staff do a lot to try and organize activities for people staying there. My room was massive and had a proper shower ie a separation from the toilet.

The place is very nice, if I wouldn't have to leave Jeju, id gladly prolong my stay for few nights more. The staff is friendly and easy to communicate. Great location, there are many places to see around like the waterfalls and local market, but you also get bus stops to move around the island generally. It was very pleasant stay👌🏼

“I would recommend this to anyone and would definitely stay there again given the chance!”
Incredible staff that were helpful, made the hostel feel like a home, and were very nice. The BBQs were great, perfect way to meet other travelers. The hostel had many common areas where you could relax and an elevator to take you from one floor to the other. There were lots of restaurants, convenience stores and cafes around the area as well.

“Best hostel in Seogwipo, and probably all of S Korea”
A fun, sociable hostel, where staff work not just to make things run smoothly (and they do) but also to help guests connect and enjoy their time in Seogwipo. Sam in particular is not only efficient, welcoming and amazing at his job but also a spectacular human - so friendly, interesting and kind, and it definitely helped that he speaks perfect English as for the other staff that's a small barrier, although they do try very hard which I was grateful for. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful, and runs for a reasonable time (until 9am). There's a bar but you can also bring in your own drinks to consume in the hostel areas. There were BBQs and live music organised by the hostel while I stayed which were great, but there's never any pressure to join if you don't want to. Facilities are great, everything's clean and the hostel occupies such a large lot that there's lots of different areas to hang out, work, find peace or be social, depending on what you need. The firepit is a lovely touch for Jeju's chilly evenings Alrhough it costs maybe a couple of dollars more per night than most of Seogwipo's hostels, it represents excellent value, delivering far more than the others, exceeding expectations over and over again - I had a great time on Jeju and enjoyed it as much as I did, because I stayed here.
