If you have big bags and all the beds are taken, there isn't much space where you can put your things. There is only a small locker. Also, I saw a cockroach in my room and although the owner was very nice about it and sprayed the room immediately, I found a few more in the bathroom and one even welcomed me in the kitchen sink.

The host is absolutely amazing! He helped me a lot with planning what to do and how to get to the islands. Hostel has a cozy vibe and is equipped with everything you could need. The location is also convenient.

Such an amazing experience in this lovely guesthouse! The host is incredibly nice and helpful, he helped me to prepare my 2 days, recommended me different options for dining around, and took me and the other guests to an excellent traditional Korean dinner one night! The breakfast is nice and the rooms are comfortable, the guesthouse is located on the other harbour, next to the cable car entrance, 15mn away from the city center by bus. I strongly recommend this guesthouse!

This place is one of those rare treasures that you only come across once every blue moon, let me tell you why: The first thing the house owner Jeroen will do is sit down with you and explain you all the things you can do in this area and will do his best to find information for you for the specific things you want to do. I think this should be standard practice for receptionists but only few receptionist do. He gave me an upgrade to a bigger room which made my stay even better. During breakfast we sat down and had lengthy talks and I got to know a lot about customsy beliefs and history of Korea. I'm truly grateful for this experience

I can’t recall anything I would have disliked

The host gives everything so that you feel comfortable. He gives advices on what to do, how to do it in a more efficient way etc. It feels more like a house than a hostel - which I really liked

My bed was very hard and lumpy, when I mentioned that he gave me a mattress topper which helped but not with the lumpiness I think investment in better mattresses would be a good idea

The Host, Jerone was helpful and friendly, His English was very good which made communicating really easy. He even loaned me his bike! Every thing was clean, the bathroom was spotless

The room is small and the bathroom is located outside of the room.

The owner is very nice and helpful. The location is close to Mireuksan mountain. The room and the bathroom were clean. It's a nice place to stay.

Maybe an extra matress in the bed for better comfort but that's probably just me due to an old back injury.

Jeroen is the most caring and helpful host. That I keep returning and also bring my friends tells quite a lot about this place, doesn't it? He is very knowledgeable about the region and therefore he has lots of suggestions about what to visit.

Lovely host who was also very helpful with great suggestions. Food at the cafe next door was fabulous.

The location is excellent for exploring Mireuksan tourism area, and it is within walking distance to the city centre. Jeroen also can provide plenty of information about buses and ferries to access the surrounding islands. And if you like hiking, he's your man 😉

It is a very well located guesthouse hosted by an amazing person. He gave us a recommandation about a hike on Saryang island and it ended being our favorite memory on the islands south of korea!

Staying with Jeroen was an absolute pleasure. My friend and I used the bikes to go everywhere (most things are only about a 10 min cycle away from Jeroen's guesthouse). I would definitely stay here again if I ever get the opportunity to return to Tongyeong!

I had a very pleasant time at this property in Tongyeong and its islands, especially due to the host, Jeroen. When I arrived, Jeroen invited me to join his Korean BBQ with a fellow traveler who was staying at his house. I also received great information about all the islands I could travel to by ferry. After two days, I noticed that my next booking was canceled, so I needed to extend my stay. Jeroen was very accommodating and made it easy for me to stay longer. The next day, we went out for lunch at his neighbor's, which was also really nice. The entire house is very clean and cozy, perfect for relaxing for a moment. The most pleasant thing for me about this property was that Jeroen has a strong Dutch background, which made me feel at home, since I am Dutch. If you are traveling to Korea, you should visit Tongyeong and definitely stay at Jeroen's house. You'll have the best experience :)

Jeroen really cares about his guests and that they are going to do and see the best of Tongyeong. I had a wonderful time there. I recommend this place 100% recommend and when I come back I will definitely stay there again.

Nothing. My stay was lovely :)

The hostel was lovely, and although it wasn't busy, I never felt unsafe in the space. It is super close to the cable car and just a bus ride away from the city center and the ferry port. Plus, the host is absolutely fantastic and helpful in planning anything you want to do.

Stayed in April 2024

The location is not in the center of town but you can walk to many resturants, bars or cafes from the hostel and the main town is only a short bus ride away. Don't let this deter you though.

The guesthouse owner is was so welcoming and kind. Thanks to this we had a really memorable and speical stay. He reccomended so many resturants and local things to do that we have to come back to do it all! The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was simple but filling.

Lovely small guest house in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay here and loved exploring Tongyeong. The guesthouse has everything you need - on-street parking, convenience stores and restaurants nearby, free breakfast every morning. Highly recommend!

Stay here if you want to feel like you’re staying at your extended family’s home. If there ever was a perfect host, Jaeron is that! Very friendly, and helpful and just an interesting person all around. When I visited it was a Korean holiday. So he even invited the guests to share Chuseok dinner with him on the porch. Location was great. Guesthouse was clean. I could use the kitchen to cook I was at home. Will be back!
