Gyeongbokgung Palace Reviews

Visited the Gyeongbokgung Palace with my cousin, and for free Entrance we used the voucher for the Hanbok rental. Didn't regret it, the staff was really nice and helped us with the fitting. I chose a nice simple hairstyle that was free (there were also different one's with a extra fee). And I got a nice pretty bag (usually with a small fee, but for a review I can get it for free) And even though it was hot outside, it didn't affect the experience for us ✨✨✨

I booked a premium hanbok rental through Klook for me and my husband. Then I booked the makeup and photography through Instagram. Reservation was very easy and they were responsive on Instagram. We came in at a busy time so it was very chaotic at first but the staff were able to help me with the Hanbok fitting, hair, and makeup. The Chandeokgung palace is just a block away and that was where we met up with the photographer and had the photos taken. We only wore the costume for 2-ish hours due to the heat outside. It was a great experience and the photos turned out really great! Another plus is they have 2 really adorable and calm shop cats 🐱. I recommend this shop for Hanbok rentals.

I had a wonderful experience with Stella as my tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Korea's royal palaces and brought each place to life with her fascinating stories and insights.
As a first-time visitor to Korea, this tour made me appreciate the country's rich culture and history even more, and it definitely inspired me to come back again soon. Next time, I'll even make sure to try wearing a hanbok!
I highly recommend booking a tour with Stella. She speaks English, Japanese, Spanish, and Korean fluently, making the experience enjoyable and accessible for visitors from all over the world. Thank you, Stella, for making my first trip to Korea so memorable!

What an incredible experience! The hanboks make the palace visit even more special! Thank you to the gentleman from Hanbok That Day (I apologize, I forgot his name 😢) who took these amazing photos for us. I will cherish this memory forever! 🥰

“I had a great experience renting a hanbok near Gyeongbokgung Palace. The staff were friendly and helped me choose a style that suited me well. The hanbok was clean, comfortable, and beautiful in photos. It made exploring the palace even more special. Highly recommend trying this when visiting Seoul!”

If we could give them 10 stars we would! Follow the signs for the artist hanbok on the 3rd floor. I was worried about finding a Hanbok in my size as I am 5'10" (178 cm) but they clearly had the largest store in town and I found one that fit perfectly. They were high quality and steamed. They point you to your size section and you select the top and bottom you like. We did the hair and makeup with 3 hairstyles to choose from, and loved the results! My makeup artist did the mannequin under eye makeup which I felt aged my western features but she fixed it for me. There's lockers and you can keep your clothes on or take them off under the hanbok, very grateful I didn't wear mine it was hot.
Our photographer 奈良 was incredible, efficient, professional, and spoke mandarin with my friend who translated for me but even without that I understood his gestures and posing instructions easily. Our photos are wonderful, we're so happy he captured our friendship and individual poses so beautifully.
