Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This beautifully restored hanok, with an enchanting garden is modelled after Japan’s ryokan. The guesthouse’s mud-walled sauna is included in the prices." Full review
Rough Guide "The most authentic of the bunch, character-wise. Not only is the hanok an 1870s original, but the owners serve traditional food for dinner: a little like a Japanese ryokan."
Afar Magazine "One of the best, Rak Ko Jae, has fancy touches such as jade floors and a mud sauna. Guests can perform a tea ceremony and make their own kimchi to take home." Full review
Time Out "The guest rooms feature white wallpaper and silk blankets filled with cotton wool. The hanoks are even equipped with Japanese bathing tubs and yellow soil jjimjilbang saunas." Full review
