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
