Beds are comfy, bathrooms and showers are great and clean. It has an AMAZING bar, I was just unlucky that the hostel was kind of empty during my stay. It’s far from the airport and getting around Jeju without renting a car is slow. Staff was not really good with english, so communication was limited. My suggestions is only stay here if you are interested in the area of Seogwipo specifically. Otherwise, stay on the northern part of the island.

Great place to stay in Seogwipo. Bunks have a privacy curtain, personal light and power point. Lockers inside rooms also offered added security for your belongings.

Das Hostel an sich war vollkommen in Ordnung, das Personal sehr nett. Die Einrichtung könnte erneuert werden, die ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen.

Amazing breakfast with cereals, toast, jam, eggs and even bananas served, but just so late: only starting at 8.30 until 9.30, which is too late if you want to explore a lit if the city. Beds, rooms and toilet are clean. Great real blackouz curtains! The atmosphere is nice, an older building with many common areas inside and outside - true hostel feeling you get! The owner is also helpful and gave me nice tips on what to see, speaks English well. Laundry is possible for 8000KRW incl drying.

I really liked this hostel. The rooms were large and each bed had a good privacy curtain. The only annoying thing was that as the bathrooms were within the rooms, anyone taking a shower would wake you. The hostel was pretty empty when I stayed there, but there seemed to be a lot of staff around, not necessarily helping but hanging out with each other, eating, drinking etc. it was slightly odd but I guess it’s the off season.

good beds, nice shower, good people. Close to some attractions, but Jesus Island is much larger than I expected so taking the bus places takes long, would suggest renting a vehicle, I would have stayed longer but wanted to do some sunrises far away

Lovely hostel, every evening people gather around the bonfire and so the vibes are immaculate. We also watched the BTS concert in live. The staff is super friendly. Also every evening for a fee you can order a delicious BBQ.

great value for money. there's convenience store across the street, beer garden in front, other restaurants around. About 3mins walk to food street, another 2mins to seogwipo olle market. Walking distance to Chunjiyeon falls, Seomseom island, Jongbang falls, and Olle Trail 6. Free toast, eggs, tangerine, milk/fresh juice, cereals to get you started

it was a good hostel, clean room, clean bathroom, huge common areas, nice bar/breakfast space, and not too far a walk from many places. it was not very social at all when I went but I want to point out that I did go during off season so that's kind of my fault. the staff still organized a KBBQ and were very kind. I think coming during peak season, this place would be fantastic.

Stayed in winter over New Years for 5N on a solo trip and felt safe throughout. About 8mins walk to the main bus stop connecting to East and West coasts of the Island. Private single room is clean with attached bath and vanity desk with a small refrigerator. It was nice to have the option to join in on their social bbq every night. Let the staff know your booking is from Hostel world to ensure a smooth checkin. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. As the only foreigner from Singapore, good vibes!

I prolonged my stay 2x because I felt super comfortable at Backpackers Home. It was very low season so not that many people and unfortunately we didn’t get enough people together for the BBQ but the firepit outside was a nice place to meet other people and have a drink.

Large hostel in downtown Seogwipo. Had a surprisingly spaceous private room which was quite cheap. General atmosphere was lovely. They do a Korean BBQ every night when there's enough candidates, and this is a superb way to meet new people. Olle Market is 5 minutes away, so location is perfect as well. Would stay here again for sure.

Fantastic hostel. My private room was huge and had a fridge inside, undercover parking is available, 4 spots otherwise park on the street which is fine. There is a large outdoor common area with a fire pit and a pub for guests only. Free breakfast is also handy but only from 7:30-9:00, not ideal if you want to sleep in. Very clean, decent kitchen space, good location. People of all ages here, not a party hostel which suited me. I would highly recommend

If you want to relax and be just a few days on your own in a private room, this is the perfect hostel for you!
