Hannahstay (female only)

It was pretty good and very clean. The double room was a bit small and there was no elevator, but the floors aren't high anyway. Overall, it was quiet and the staff were very friendly. They also had everything well-prepared.

This guesthouse is quite cozy, and the owner is a lovely woman. I even became friends with a Chinese girl who was volunteering there, lol. The owner is probably a 'P' type (perceiver), very easygoing, haha. She didn't really assign beds, and I didn't dare just pick one. I waited for half an hour for her to come back, and she just told me to pick any empty bed in the room. She sent me the wrong email and the wrong room number. Then late at night, she told me I was in the wrong room, and I was like, 'But I followed your check-in instructions!' The next morning, I packed up again and moved to another room. That night, I found there was no duvet on the bed, just a duvet cover. It was too late to bother the staff, so I ended up catching a cold. On the third day, after hiking Hallasan all day in the rain, I was so angry that I told the volunteer, 'I'm not staying anymore! I'm booking a flight to go back to Seoul early! I don't care if I don't get a refund; I'm leaving a bad review!' But the volunteer was really nice; she talked to me and even got me a duvet. However, she went back to China two days later, so there was no Chinese-speaking staff left. I eventually got used to it and canceled the 800-word bad review I had already drafted. I want to remind anyone considering booking here: it's best not to book the 8-person dorm. It's on the first floor, and the bathroom is shared by over ten people from two rooms, and the drainage isn't great. I originally thought the 8-person and 4-person dorms would only differ in the number of people, and I just needed a place to sleep and wash up. But after staying in the wrong room on the first day, I realized the 4-person dorm's bathroom was much better. They said they'd upgrade me, but I later forgot about it. Oh, the owner can be a bit careless. Sometimes she oversleeps and misses breakfast, and sometimes she comes back late at night. But her kimchi tofu soup and seaweed soup for breakfast are delicious, and she's very warm-hearted. She's probably overwhelmed managing everything alone; I hope she can find new volunteers, hehe. There's also an exercise bike in the common area, which is nice to use. Staying in a hostel always means encountering some odd roommates. I hope everyone doesn't nitpick hostels too much. The day before I left, a woman checked into our room, and OMG, she was complaining about everything... You can't expect a hostel to be like a star-rated hotel, alright?

This all-female hostel is perfect for solo travelers. It's right next to Samseonghyeol Shrine and conveniently located near bus stops. The interior is very cozy, and the four-person room on the second floor has its own private bathroom, which is a big plus!

This hostel is perfect for solo travelers. I met so many wonderful people during my stay, and the all-female policy made me feel very safe. It's a well-established and clean hostel, and the women here are incredibly helpful, friendly, and kind to each other. The front desk staff speaks both English and Chinese. Check-in is self-service, but you'll need to carry your luggage up the stairs yourself. The breakfast is simple yet delicious, and the kitchen is great for light cooking. You can even grab some Korean instant noodles from a convenience store and cook them up – it's perfectly fine! The room facilities are simple and cozy, and the four-person rooms even have private restrooms, so there's no need to worry about waiting for the shower. The only downside is the location. It's in old Jeju, which is close to the airport, but a bit far from Baojian Street. So, it might not be ideal for those who love to shop. Also, if you've booked a day tour, pick-up might be a slight inconvenience.

The room layout is quite well-designed, with independent bunk beds, each having its own curtain, ensuring privacy. While the space is a bit compact, it's perfectly fine for a small suitcase and a travel bag. The whole experience is largely self-service; check-in and check-out don't require any staff interaction. For breakfast, ingredients are provided, and you cook and wash up yourself. There's a water dispenser and a fridge in the common area. It's close to City Hall and Dongmun Market, though a bit further from the duty-free shop. There are several bus stops right outside, which is very convenient.

This women's hostel is really great. The decor is clean and cozy, and self-check-in is convenient. The double room is quite comfortable, and the private bathroom is spacious and very clean. It has bunk beds, and the bedding is also clean. It's a converted apartment building, and the only downside is the lack of an elevator, but otherwise, I'm very satisfied.
