Wonderful staff especially! Wish I'd gotten their names, but the girl who works there during the day was lovely and helped give me directions and drew me maps every day. The guys in the bar at night were also great, and made awesome (complimentary!) fresh squeezed orange juice.

This hostel was not good, it was perfect! Especially the cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff convinced me and made my stay memorable! The rooms are nice and 100% clean! Also bed sheets, pillow cases and fresh towels are offered. The staff tries to make all your desires come true and helps with the planning of your trip. They give suggestions for nice places and explain directions to different bus terminals - but basically they help you out with everything you ask for! Thank you! Sarah

This hostel is located very near to downtown Seogwipo, a very short distance away from the major attractions in Seogwipo such as the Oedolgae Rock and Cheonjeyeon Falls. And since we rented a car in Jeju Island, it is no problem for us to go to other attractions in another sides of Jeju Island. The hostel is very clean, staff very friendly and courteous. Breakfast is included in the stay but just a very basic one, toast and jam, milk and cereal, coffee, eggs... But for us it was okay.

I like there so much as I enjoyed being surrounded by wooden furnishings, its just so relaxing! Room has warm feeling and bathroom is spacious and very clean! Besides, staff there are really helpful and some of them could speak English. Lastly, I like the dog called \'Sky\' who likes eating mushroom, really cute :P If I go to Jeju again, I\'d definitely chose this Backpacker\'s Home for staying!

The guy in charge was really helpful in giving us directions to sightseeing locations! The room was a bit small but it was clean and neat. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch for the very reasonable price per night at Backpacker's Home. (The coffee was quite weak though)
