amazing place! Close to all the main attractions in the South of Jeju. The staff is very friendly and even gave me a detailed hand drawn map which helped me find all the places I wanted to see. They often have bbq dinners at the hostal for only 10,000 won (10 dollars) which was supper awesome and a good way to meet other people in the hostel!

The hospitality was really great. The room was basic but enough for us. The environment was superb. We are giving you 10/10 on your facilities and services.

I had a great experience. I couldn't find the hostel from the bus stop so I wandered into the closest establishment which was a hotel with non-English speaking staff. I had the name of the hostel so they called and the manager of Backpackers and he personally escorted me the hostel. He also gave me excellent detailed directions and maps to the hikes I wanted to do. I would recommend this hostel to any of my friends. Thank you Kenny!

Honestly speaking!? Really honestly speaking!??! You have swept me off my feet!!!! 감사합니다!!!!! It is hard travelling around Korea not understanding much Korean. But you spoke English to me which made the whole process seamlessly smooth. The room and toilet was clean and they looked "spick and span". You guys provided not just towel, but shampoo...body wash, AS WELL AS TOOTHPASTE! If I do not recommend this guest house to my friends, I am guilty as charged! Keep it up Backpacker's Home!

The owners, Kenny and Sean, are most helpful. Despite their limited english, they go out of their way to make their guests feel most at home. They even organised xmas party on the eve for the guests! The hostel is nearest to all 3 waterfalls and Jangmun resort, but there are very limited things to do in Seogiwpo once sun sets. TRansport is also an issue from seogiwpo to rest of sightseeing places.

I love the nite BBQ provided by guesthouse. You can meet people all around the world. Also, the bed and the breakfast is the softest and most delicious among the 4 guesthouse I stayed in Jeju. They provide not only orange juice, tea, coffee, but also milk! I suggest you can buy some meat the day before for cooking the breakfast. Then you can make super tasty sandwiches .And the staff are really nice. Like Ryan, Kenny and Jay, we ask them everything, like food and transportation. Thanks them^^
