Stayed just for a night but it was my second time there. Only wish I had more time to stay longer. Bong(the person) was great, and a splendid host. The service attitude of the staff was impeccable, always helpful and never intrusive. Excellent facilities with speedy wifi access and a charming bar to unwind in. Would definitely head back there again!

It was ok. The room I stayed in had no ondel flooring so it was quite cold. The bathroom had a leaky roof so you get dripped on when you're brushing your teeth. Mr Bong and his staff are great though! Really friendly!!!

Bong was a great host and made New Years in Seoul a fun time. Having the smoking section right when you walk in the front door was a turn off for our group of non-smokers but over all we had a comfortable evening and we able to relax and have fun

The Bong House is located in a great area, lots to do, food and shopping wise. It is next to the Bong Bar where we got a free drink, not too shabby! Thanks Mr. Bong, we had a great time - and you rock at darts!

The hostel is located in Jongno, which is the district where most of the temples are located and it's very close to the other tourist spots. The staff were nice and kind. I really enjoyed talking with them and learning about Seoul. The common room was a great place to meet fellow travelers. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel.

The staff really make this place amazingly comfortable to stay at with their friendly attitude that extends far beyond the reception. Around the hostel, in the bar and even taking us out to a place to eat Mr Bongs house is a very easy going laid back place to stay at. The area aound Bong House is great with lots of restaurants, shops and easy access to public transport and taxis. We love everyone who was working there and hope we can come back =)

When I think of Seoul then I'll instantly think of this place, really wonderful place to stay. Great location and such a homely warm feel to the place. When cold outside, it's always warm inside Mr. Bong's place. The staff were really genuine and nice people including Mr Bong who's always help (there was a Singaporean guy who was very obnoxious though). Great bar and pool next door, free beer every night. Cheers Mr Bong! Great place.

Really liked this hostel, it had everything we needed [except for a room over Christmas!!!! But they're already fully booked :( ] and was lovely and cosy. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful and Bong bar was a great place to hang out in the evening. Make sure you take the phone number in case you can't find it/use a taxi to arrive :)

have an open mind as the rooms themselves have no locks and it's like a big house with a couple of homely rooms and shared bathrooms. location is pretty good and the staff is great, thanks everyone! will be staying again!
