Bukchon Hanok Village Reviews

Fantastic 5.0
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 highly recommend the full day tour, we visited Gwajang market for a lunch break. Our tour guide Ms. Sunny was knowledgeable of the history per tourist sites, friendly and approachable! We definitely enjoyed the tour.

Great experience, we added the hair styling option and it was very nice (plus they lent us bags since we got the hair styling). A bit far from the palace (10 minutes from Gyeongbokgung, but it's an easy walk).

Here are the points I liked: 1. There's a restroom (very important, especially for those who need to use it frequently. It's best to go before putting on the hanbok and before heading out. The store was very kind and allowed us to return to use it mid-way through our outing. Gyeongbokgung Palace actually has restrooms, and they are clearly marked, but sometimes you can still get a bit lost inside. If you're worried, I recommend marking the restrooms on a map beforehand). 2. Easy to find (just use Naver Map to navigate directly; you can also browse shops on the way from Anguk Station). 3. Clothes are in good condition (skirts are very voluminous, no holes, no strange smells). 4. There are about 5 free hairstyles (from what I remember) (all the hairstyles in the pictures below are free. Additional charges, up to 10,000 Korean Won, are only for more elaborate styles like the 'medical lady' style or intricate updos). *********** I purchased the most expensive full-day level. Upon arrival, I could choose from 40,000 Won skirts, which were basically solid-colored or gradient-colored voluminous skirts, a single layer with an additional panel skirt. Since the skirt essentially has two layers, you can still see the hoop skirt's steel frame. If this bothers you, you'll need to pay extra for a higher-tier skirt. There are options for 60,000 Won and 80,000 Won. (The 60,000 Won options include tiered skirts and long tops that cover the stomach, as well as some patterned skirts. The 80,000 Won options have gold trim and some hot-stamped designs, which are really good quality, but probably better for autumn/winter, and also come with stomach-covering tops). If you're not planning to take photos all day, 4 hours is quite enough. It's definitely enough in the summer, as you won't last much longer. I'm quite heat-tolerant, but even on an overcast day, I only lasted about 5 hours before I couldn't take it anymore. We arrived at 11 AM and still found clothes we liked, but earlier might offer more top choices (?). Everyone should consider their own timing. Regarding photography, as per the price list, you can inquire directly at the store. However, it was an overcast day, so we didn't add on a photography package, so I don't know how the photos would have turned out. Many people at Gyeongbokgung Palace hire photographers. If the weather is good and you're in a good mood, you can hire one. They are very good at directing poses and have their own camera angles, so you don't have to find spots or think of poses yourself. Also, there are lockers with keys, so make sure to keep your key safe. In summary, I highly recommend this place and would go again, but not on a hot day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Experience I had a great experience and highly recommend this. I was unfortunately late after missing a subway stop and getting lost, but the team was very understanding. The photographer was professional, friendly, and helped me feel comfortable by chatting with me during our walk to the photo locations. Since I was traveling solo, feeling shy, and had just landed that morning with little sleep, I really appreciated his kindness. He guided my poses throughout the shoot, regularly checked if I was happy with the photos, and even encouraged me to speak up if there was anything I didn’t like. I also appreciated the extra time he spent taking additional photos. The staff member who helped me choose my hanbok and style my hair was wonderful and very kind. There were so many beautiful photos to choose from, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It was one of the highlights of my solo trip, and I would gladly book again when I return w/ family or friends. 😊

I visited right when the store opened, and there was no crowd, so I was smoothly guided in. Even though it was drizzling that day, they said rentals were still possible without any issues! The staff member was incredibly kind and thoughtfully suggested outfit coordinations, providing truly wonderful customer service. They had a wide variety of traditional Korean dresses, from simple to elaborate designs, and many options for hair arrangements and accessories, making the selection process very enjoyable! This shop also provides costumes for idol-related content, so I'm sure you'll find your favorite outfit here!

We had a wonderful day with Jenny as our tour guide. It was very hot, and the pace of the tour was quite high! Jenny constantly checked to make sure everyone was doing okay in the heat. Thanks to the fast pace of the tour, we were able to see a lot in one day. Definitely recommended!

Popular attractions near Bukchon Hanok Village

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Just north of Gwanghwamun Square, Gyeongbokgung Palace is a must-see attraction in Seoul. As the largest of the Five Palaces from the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeongbokgung, or Gyeongbok Palace, has a rich history within its palace grounds. In here, you can wear hanboks, or Korean traditional clothes, and visit the National Folk Museum of Korea and the National Palace Museum of Korea. This is where you can learn in-depth about traditional Korean culture and Korea's history.

Changdeokgung Palace

Changdeokgung Palace is at Changdeokgung 1-gil, which is located off Gyedong-gil. Frequently referred to as Donggwol (the East Palace), Changdeokgung Palace does not have distinct borders separating it from Changgyeonggung Palace. Its construction prioritized a harmony with the natural landscape, which made it considered the most Korean palace. The "Secret Garden," behind the inner hall of the palace, was established by King Taejong, offering a peaceful retreat for the royal family.

Jongmyo Shrine

Visit Jongmyo Shrine to explore Korea's cultural and historical heritage. Established in 1395, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-see for Korean history enthusiasts. In this shrine, you can find the spirit tablets of past Joseon Dynasty kings and queens honored, symbolizing the royal family's legitimacy. The king would often visit for ancestral rites to pray for the people's safety.

Cheonggyecheon Stream

Take a walk by Cheonggyecheon Stream and enjoy the serenity surrounding the busy city center! The stairs attached to the path by the stream make it a perfect picnic spot. On a sunny summer day, you'll see locals enjoying a can of beer on the stairs. In autumn, you'll be able to see hundreds of colorful LED lights displayed along the stream.
