Smile Guesthouse - Jeju-si, Jeju-do

maroyaka ?. S.

I stayed one night here .
The location is convince and good price .
I reserved a dormitory which has a shower room in the room .
It was too noisy when they used the shower midnight .

一泊しました。
場所は中央地下商店街、七星路、東門在来市場が近くにあり便利だと思います。
空港からも遠く無いので初めてのチェジュ島だと市場巡りに一日目や最終日の宿泊先にちょうどよいかもしれません。
私が宿泊したドミトリーは部屋の中にシャワールームがあり深夜にシャワーを使う人がいたのとタッチナンバー式のルームキーの作動音がかなりうるさく熟睡出来ませんでしたが、値段なりだと思います。

Loveable

The owner didn't speak English and kind of didn't interact with me once she noticed I spoke English? It was kind of disappointing. I had to also help her find me on the guest list. She kept saying I was in the 8 female room when I booked 4 female room. Then she put me in the male room in the computer system for some reason. So that part was the sour bit of my experience checking into the first hostel in Jeju (my first Jeju trip ever also not to mention). So I think that part really disappointed me with the type of hospitality they portrayed.

Other than that the place wasn't really clean. Barely kept up? Thankfully, I was the only one in the room so I had no complaints about noises but yeah, just warm welcome could've changed my experience!

Just saying!

I only spent one night at the Miso Guesthouse, but I left with at least 20 mosquito bites. Other than that the hostel is okay for a short stay and the owner is friendly. She manages everything with a translation app since she doesn't speak any English. Towels and a water dispensor are provided.

위스키바 같은 느낌에 공간도 넓고 술값도 저렴하고 ,,,최고 게하 같았어요,,,또 가고싶은

Location was easy to find. The staff was really friendly. There was an English speaking staff so that was quite helpful to me. The bed, room, bathroom was clean. The pub downstairs is very fun and so is the bartender. It was a last minute booking because my flight canceled due to bad weather and couldn’t travel anywhere much in Jeju. But staying here was the only best day for me South Korea! Keep up the good work!

The prices here are fantastic. There’s no denying that. But you get what you pay for, and even with such a low price, I would never stay here again.

Staying here in November, the thermostats were set to 25 degrees (77 for my fellow Americans. This might not seem too horrible, but when you factor in Jeju humidity and a top bunk, it was so uncomfortably hot. Forget about a blanket, you’ll want to take off as much clothing as possible while trying to maintain decency.

Unfortunately, taking off a shirt or wearing shorts opens you up to another problem: mosquitoes. I wondered what all the red stains on the walls and ceiling were at first, but after I killed two mosquitoes and had countless more get way, I figured it out. Between the heat and the mosquitoes, I felt like I was sleeping outside in a jungle. Worst sleep I’ve had in a hostel (without someone in the room snoring as loud as a jet engine)

Other negatives include the beds feeling rather small and of course being Korean style in terms of hardness. Also, although this place calls itself as a hostel, but the English spoken here is minimal at best. If you don’t speak much Korean, expect awkward conversations with very little information being relayed to you. If you’re Korean these things might not bother you, so bear that in mind.

I hate giving it so few stars, considering the shockingly low price and the overall cleanliness and modernness of the facility, but I had a horrible night here. Wouldn’t stay here again even if it were free. If you’re a broke backpacker where money is the primary criteria, this is about as cheap as it gets and you get a lot of bang for your buck here. But if a good nights sleep is important to you, look elsewhere

깔끔하고 동문시장과 가까워 먹거리와 쇼핑에 최적. 1층엔 안내데스크와 펍이 있어 식사도 가능.
주차장도 있어 렌트로 여행하시는 분들도 좋아요.
공항은 10분 거리라 접근성 좋습니다.

pros : nice owner, location, free parking, clean atmosphere
cons : tons of mosquitoes, BEDBUG, bad behavior staffs
