8/10 Very good

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.

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

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.

Our stay was wonderful. The property is lovely to stay at and comfortable. We enjoyed talking with the host about the best way to spend our time in gyeongju. He brought us a delicious simple breakfast, which was great because it has been challenging to find places open in the early hours.

Incredible Host!

Our stay here was lovely. The owner was kind and incredibly helpful — he gave us a map and directions on the best ways to see all the sights we were interested in. The rooms were spotless and the beds had heating pads, which were so cozy, as we were traveling in the fall and it was getting cool. All around a great stay — highly recommend for anyone looking for a more authentic experience unlike those you get at a regular hotel.

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!

Excellent stay in a traditional hanok home — very cool experience and you cannot beat this location. Walking distance to all the main sites and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to meet other guests and hang out in a friendly atmosphere. Early wake up for breakfast but that did not bother us. We really loved the city and stayed 2 nights.

Very friendly and very supportive hosts. The interior made with a lot of personal cosy individual touch. As guests we felt like at home. The stay in Yettle was a real pleasure. This beautiful traditional Korean house became our home for short but unforgettable stay. The location very conveniant.

The Hanok is easily walkable to all the historical area sites to see. Host is so bubbly! He gave a good introduction to the area showing us on the map so we could get the most out of our time here. The rooms are gorgeous. Even though breakfast is not included the host prepared a light breakfast for everyone with coffee at ~8am. Perfect to start the day as nothing opens early.

Friendly 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.

Traditional Hanok Homestay

It is a classic Hanok Style House with 5 bedrooms. 4 of them have connecting bathrooms, whereas the small single person does not. I had to walk out into the courtyard, only about 15 feet away, to use my own bathroom, but it was for my own use and it was clean. It is a beautiful home and the owners, who live nearby are so friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was comfortable with a good temperature. It was clean and exactly as you’d expect a traditional style of bedroom to be. The mattress is on the floor but it has heating and was pretty thick and comfy. They provided a small but good breakfast in the morning and have a small kitchen with refrigerator for guest convenience as well as a separate tea room. It was an enjoyable stay and I would stay again if I’m ever back in Gyeongju!

8/10 Very good

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 overall stay was pleasant - the property is a traditional hanok house that is more than a 100 years old, run by an enthusiastic host. There aren’t convenience stores around the lodge but there are plenty in Gyeongju city so just buy some drinks and snacks to bring back and eat at the lodge if you want. There are house rules that applies to all guests for efficient management of the hanok house. The host generously provides free breakfast (this free breakfast may or may not continue in the future) at 8AM sharp for every guest in the lodge. He knocks fairly loudly on the door - for sensitive sleepers this may be a bit alarming. The hosts also clean the hanok house every day and ventilates the house for maintenance by leaving the doors of all the guest rooms open. I believe they do this so they can clean up any mess some guests may have left behind which could impact the condition of the old hanok. This lodge also has a concrete check out time and I don’t think they offer luggage keeping once you check out - but there’s plenty luggage holding facilities in Gyeongju area near the hwanglidangil. This is a traditional and interesting place to stay - reminiscent to how older korean generations lived in hanok like this. The way of operation is different but if you’re the type of traveller that pop out in the morning to explore the area and return in the evening, you won’t have problems.

6/10 Good

This review is based on the fact that we have not stayed in a Hanok before and therefore can be biased. Similar to other reviews we appreciated the in depth tips from the very friendly owner re. the area and important/interesting places to visit. We arrived by car and parking is close by which was explained by the owner so it was easy to find. He explained the place in every detail which was very helpful. The rooms are very clean and typical Hanok style. Important to note are two facts (which we did not know before) - the house itself is located close to one of the roads. Therefore traffic can be heard. It really did not disturb or bother us but worth to mention - the house consists of 4 rooms. 3 of them have own shower and restrooms. One room has shower and bathroom facilities outside. Even though it was basically a minute walk away from the room we found it uncomfortable( especially during the night). It was also not mentioned during the booking and therefore not ideal. The building overall is tidy and has all facilities but do not expect a typical old style Hanok as you see on the pics posted for the others. Nevertheless, if you take price value into and the above mentioned points into consideration then it is worth considering for a stay. On the addtl. positive side though it’s worth to mention that we received free breakfast though. Would we come back? Not really. Depending on the budget might spend a little more and choose a different one.
