The owner of the home was incredibly hospitable and what's some might perceive as abrasive was just him being really helpful and wanting his guests to experience the area as he's obviously very passionate about where he lives in the history surrounding it, which it is very rich in. My friend and I loved our experience here, and we felt really safe. The one thing to be mindful of is given is traditional Korean house, there is not a lot of sound insulation but fortunately for our stay the other guests were really respectful and mindful of their noise level. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to be in a more traditional environment and be welcomed as family and not a sterile hotel environment. The location was really beautiful too and we spent the whole day walking around, it was a beautiful evening walk along the river to get back. Also very convenient for buses.

Great location. 5-20min walking to all the major attractions. Walking and taking bus is the way to go. Good experience with a hanok stay that had a mattress instead of traditional thick blanket/bedding to getting a good sleep. Very hospitable hosts of husband and wife. They even made us breakfast the day we checked out! There were 3 other rooms with guests when we were there and everyone kept the quietness during our stay. So, not a place for folks who like to chat during the nights. We were there Sunday, a holiday weekend (Buddha’s birthday), so there were way too many locals in addition to foreign tourists. I’d highly recommend visit on a non-holiday.

Across the street from the National Museum , short walking distance Donggung Palace

A genuine hanok stay. It isn’t a hotel so it’s gonna be different than the conventional expectations. You feel like you’re in a very Korean old timey home. And the hosts were super friendly

My family and I had a WONDERFUL stay at Yettle Hanok. Jung and his wife were lovely hosts who welcomed us, showed us a map so we could get our bearings and even offered suggested activities for the day so that we would be able to experience all the sights and experiences. We rented the entire home and found it be spacious, comfortable and clean. It was such a unique experience to stay in a traditional hanok-style home. The home is walking distance to the Gyeongju National Museum and a bus stop with buses that will take you right into town. My family loved every minute of our stay and are so grateful for the hospitality and warmth of our hosts!

We had a pleasant stay at this property. It was tidy and comfortable. The bathroom for our room was outside, which we didn't mind at all but may not be okay for everyone. Pros: - Korean style house, lovely wooden details - Great location, close to lots of attractions and bus stop. Busses are frequent. -comfortable bed. -The owner was friendly and chatty (find more information below). Gave us a map of Gyeongju and arrival and idea on what to do -lovely breakfast provided one of the days - fridge/freezer, kettle, tea, coffee provided -cute tea room Cons: - no restaurants near by, cafe next door open for very limited hours so take some snacks - lack of privacy and lots of rules to follow. Owner overbearing at times. Will do things like readjust where your shoes are, expects room door to be open during the day for air circulation, made us rush out on the day of check out So he can start cleaning (we were out by 8:15)!! I felt like I was intruding in his home but it's was great experience otherwise.

The owner was so friendly and helpful! The bed was very comfortable. The location was great—so close to the historic center—walkable to the beautiful park, Wolji and bridge, all of these are awesome to see at night. Just walk, don’t take a taxi tour.

Quaint house and very enthusiastic host

We enjoyed our stay at the Yettle Hanok. Our host was very friendly and helpful. He communicated with us prior to our visit on how to get there, which was extremely helpful. Upon arrival he provided us with a map and overview of Gyeongju. The hanok is conveniently located across the street from the museum and is easy walking to the village. There is a bus stop close by with buses that can take you to main historical sites around Gyeongju. Our host brought us a nice little breakfast with coffee to our room each morning, and he arranged taxi pick up for us when we departed. I recommend staying at this hanok to experience a traditional Korean home during your stay.

So, first of all, this might be a good place for you to stay if you know NOTHING about Korea and you're a foreigner. But everyone else should avoid staying here. I booked this property on Weds for Thurs and was required to fill in my phone. By midday on Thursday I had received over 10 contacts from the property by email and by text. I started to feel very harassed, as perhaps getting one EMAIL about how to find the property is normal. I work full time, I don't need constant distractions. I was asked to inform my exact time of arrival. I informed that I would take a bus at 6:20 or 7:20. I clarified that I would message after I got on the bus. By 5pm I was already receiving more messages about my arrival time. I informed that I would take the 6:20 bus, arriving at 7:35. At 7:30 I got a message if I had arrived. I called and was told that they were waiting for us, even though I specified that we hadn't even eaten dinner yet and clarified that there is no restaurant anywhere nearby the hanok. Feeling very rushed as they said they didn't live there and couldn't leave until we arrived, we bought cup ramen for dinner (the worst) and quickly went to the hanok (nothing for breakfast). When we arrived the owner wanted to sit down and lecture us about hanok or something, rather than show us the room and let us relax and eat our ramen. Also he repeated everything 3-4xs, even though I speak fluent Korean, he said it in broken English (my husband doesn't speak English), too.
