Tongyeong Episode Guesthouse

Extrem netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber! Und sehr entspannte Atmosphäre im Guesthouse. Die Lage im Süden ist sehr schön und man kommt mit dem Bus oder auch zu Fuß ganz einfach ins Stadtzentrum.

Kakerlaken in der Küche, aber ich denke die lassen sich im Sommer wohl nur schwer vermeiden.

The host is absolutely amazing! He helped me a lot with planning what to do and how to get to the islands. Hostel has a cozy vibe and is equipped with everything you could need. The location is also convenient.

If you have big bags and all the beds are taken, there isn't much space where you can put your things. There is only a small locker. Also, I saw a cockroach in my room and although the owner was very nice about it and sprayed the room immediately, I found a few more in the bathroom and one even welcomed me in the kitchen sink.

Nous avons été extrêmement bien accueillis par Jeroen. Nous avons beaucoup échangé en anglais avec lui sur des sujets variés et notamment l histoire de la Corée d hier et d aujourd’hui. Jeroen nous a conseillés pour nos visites et sur les restaurants. Il est prêt à nous aider et nous donne son numéro de téléphone si nous sommes en difficulté. Je recommande vivement cet hôte pour les personnes qui aiment échanger et partager .

El anfitrión es súper amable y se interesa por la comodidad de sus huéspedes. Me encantó tener ese trato más cercano con él. Los desayunos se sentían como estar en familia. Además, da muy buenas recomendaciones de planes y restaurantes. Si tienes alguna duda, pregúntale. Está cerca del teleférico y del Skyline Luge, dos planazos que hacer en Tongyeong. La casa es muy cómoda. Tienes secador y útiles de useo, y también la posibilidad de usar la cocina. En el dormitorio había lockers.

El colchón era demasiado duro para mí.

Such an amazing experience in this lovely guesthouse! The host is incredibly nice and helpful, he helped me to prepare my 2 days, recommended me different options for dining around, and took me and the other guests to an excellent traditional Korean dinner one night! The breakfast is nice and the rooms are comfortable, the guesthouse is located on the other harbour, next to the cable car entrance, 15mn away from the city center by bus. I strongly recommend this guesthouse!

This place is one of those rare treasures that you only come across once every blue moon, let me tell you why: The first thing the house owner Jeroen will do is sit down with you and explain you all the things you can do in this area and will do his best to find information for you for the specific things you want to do. I think this should be standard practice for receptionists but only few receptionist do. He gave me an upgrade to a bigger room which made my stay even better. During breakfast we sat down and had lengthy talks and I got to know a lot about customsy beliefs and history of Korea. I'm truly grateful for this experience

The host gives everything so that you feel comfortable. He gives advices on what to do, how to do it in a more efficient way etc. It feels more like a house than a hostel - which I really liked

I can’t recall anything I would have disliked

Transportation

Clean, cozy and warm

nothing!

The Host, Jerone was helpful and friendly, His English was very good which made communicating really easy. He even loaned me his bike! Every thing was clean, the bathroom was spotless

My bed was very hard and lumpy, when I mentioned that he gave me a mattress topper which helped but not with the lumpiness I think investment in better mattresses would be a good idea

The owner is very nice and helpful. The location is close to Mireuksan mountain. The room and the bathroom were clean. It's a nice place to stay.

The room is small and the bathroom is located outside of the room.

Jeroen is the most caring and helpful host. That I keep returning and also bring my friends tells quite a lot about this place, doesn't it? He is very knowledgeable about the region and therefore he has lots of suggestions about what to visit.

Maybe an extra matress in the bed for better comfort but that's probably just me due to an old back injury.

Host is very helpful and nice, he showed all the attractions we can visit, marking those that are most worth recommending.

Lovely host who was also very helpful with great suggestions. Food at the cafe next door was fabulous.

The location is excellent for exploring Mireuksan tourism area, and it is within walking distance to the city centre. Jeroen also can provide plenty of information about buses and ferries to access the surrounding islands. And if you like hiking, he's your man 😉

It is a very well located guesthouse hosted by an amazing person. He gave us a recommandation about a hike on Saryang island and it ended being our favorite memory on the islands south of korea!

Everything was perfect !

Staying with Jeroen was an absolute pleasure. My friend and I used the bikes to go everywhere (most things are only about a 10 min cycle away from Jeroen's guesthouse). I would definitely stay here again if I ever get the opportunity to return to Tongyeong!

I had a very pleasant time at this property in Tongyeong and its islands, especially due to the host, Jeroen. When I arrived, Jeroen invited me to join his Korean BBQ with a fellow traveler who was staying at his house. I also received great information about all the islands I could travel to by ferry. After two days, I noticed that my next booking was canceled, so I needed to extend my stay. Jeroen was very accommodating and made it easy for me to stay longer. The next day, we went out for lunch at his neighbor's, which was also really nice. The entire house is very clean and cozy, perfect for relaxing for a moment. The most pleasant thing for me about this property was that Jeroen has a strong Dutch background, which made me feel at home, since I am Dutch. If you are traveling to Korea, you should visit Tongyeong and definitely stay at Jeroen's house. You'll have the best experience :)

Nothing

Very clean and modern. The host was really kind and helpful. Anytime again!

Jeroen really cares about his guests and that they are going to do and see the best of Tongyeong. I had a wonderful time there. I recommend this place 100% recommend and when I come back I will definitely stay there again.

Nothing

The hostel was lovely, and although it wasn't busy, I never felt unsafe in the space. It is super close to the cable car and just a bus ride away from the city center and the ferry port. Plus, the host is absolutely fantastic and helpful in planning anything you want to do.

Nothing. My stay was lovely :)

The guesthouse owner is was so welcoming and kind. Thanks to this we had a really memorable and speical stay. He reccomended so many resturants and local things to do that we have to come back to do it all! The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable and the breakfast was simple but filling.

The location is not in the center of town but you can walk to many resturants, bars or cafes from the hostel and the main town is only a short bus ride away. Don't let this deter you though.

Lovely small guest house in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay here and loved exploring Tongyeong. The guesthouse has everything you need - on-street parking, convenience stores and restaurants nearby, free breakfast every morning. Highly recommend!

Everything! Naewon

Stay here if you want to feel like you’re staying at your extended family’s home. If there ever was a perfect host, Jaeron is that! Very friendly, and helpful and just an interesting person all around. When I visited it was a Korean holiday. So he even invited the guests to share Chuseok dinner with him on the porch. Location was great. Guesthouse was clean. I could use the kitchen to cook I was at home. Will be back!

The host was very amazing. He was very helpful with everything specifically the destinations I should visit, buses, time when the ferry leaves, literally everything. The place is so clean. Every would gather in the kitchen and have breakfast together, talk, and share experiences. It felt more of being with a family rather than staying in a guesthouse. It was very amazing place. In the morning we would go to our own different destinations, at night some would have dinner together, some would like to explore restaurants by theirselves, but at the end of the day, we would gather in the common area, talk, share snacks, share experiences, talk about our countries. It really is the best guesthouse Ive ever been to. Im a solo traveler and staying in this guesthouse was by far one of the best experience. The host would introduce the travelers with each other and thats how we get along with each other. Such an amazing experience really.

Nothing

I loved it so much that I added another night. The host is really friendly, helpful and it is a pleasure to have great conversation with him. He makes sure everybody feels welcome and get to know the other guests. It feels like home and is a great place to meet new people. Next time visiting Tongyeong I will come back, for sure.

EXCEPTIONAL HOST! He provided everything we needed at TongYeong!7

Jereon is the perfect host and knows everything there is to know about Tongyeong. He is very attentive and caring, and helps you with any trips/island visits you would like to do. Genuinely cares about his guests and that they enjoy their stay, I hope to be back one day!

Everything was great, the rooms are very clean, yummy breakfast and the best host you could have. The location was good too.

Nothing to complain about!

Very clean. Very friendly host. He’d introduce among the guests so the guests could know bit about each other and get along better. I like the lounge, sofa and tables which can accommodate a group of people, there’re also books. The location is good: about 20mins walk to luge/cable car, and undersea tunnel/bridge/canal which is good for night view.

Nope

The host was really nice and kind! Everything was great. Strongly recommended.

The host Jeroen is verry kind. We stayed for two nights and had a some good conversations. He took the time to give us the information we needed. He even dropped us of at the busstation at 8 in the morning so we could do the Saryangdo hike (best hike ever)! What a great stay we had.

Nice clean rooms. Everything you could need.

Everything

The Host was super nice. He got me in touch with the other guests since I travelled alone. He even gave me an upgrade since there was a free family room. This was also because he had planned to close the hostel for the next day, but somehow my booking went through and he let me stay anyway. He explained a lot of what you can do in the area and all around the country. The house was good located close to a bus stop from where you get around Tongyeong. It was very clean as well.

There is nothing to complain

Very nice and comfortable hostel. Homely, cosy, and super clean. Owner Jeroen is sociable and helpful, he really looks after his guests very well. There's lots of beautiful places and islands to visit from Tongyeong, this guesthouse makes a perfect base to explore all. Highly recommended.

We were the three best friends that anybody could have and we had a really great experience at the Guesthouse. The host was incredible welcoming and provided us with some really useful recommendations. Tongyeong is a must visit.

cleanness of the property & friendliness of the host. The host was very helpful in sharing wth us about the local attraction and restaurants.

This is the best place I have stayed at during my 3 months in South Korea. ❤️ It's a very nice place, very clean, tidy and well kept. The host knows the area very well and can give you tips on where to go. I have already decided to come back next time I visit Korea.

Jeroen was an incredible host and provided the best hospitality I've ever experienced in a guesthouse. During my stay, we had two excellent dinners together. He even took me and another guest to Saryangdo and did the hike with us.

That I didn't stay longer!

The host was fantastic, great hospitality. Hé came with us to saryangdo island for the day.. dont hesitate.....GO THERE

The hostel owner is so kind and helpful, he even drove me to a bus stop to get to the ferry.he also gave great food recommendations. Location is great, about 5 minutes walk to the main road to take a bus to the city.

The Host was adorable, me and my friend haven’t plan a lot of things for Tongyeong, and he explained to us in detail what were the interesting things to do, great advice. The host also recommend two sweet restaurants near the guest house that were delicious. The breakfast was more than complete, a very generous host ! We spent an amazing time there with my friend, I will recommend this guest house to anyone !!!

This guesthouse excedeed my expectations ! Jeroen was wonderful, he helped us a lot and welcome us so well, without being intrusive (I experimented this in another guesthouse...). He was a really good host, and the house was perfect. Thank you so much !

Lovely host in a very cozy and clean guesthouse! Great if you need information for traveling in Tongyeong, and it's also close to public transportation. Thank you so much!

The guest house is cosy, warm, quiet, clean and feels like a home. I had a really good and relaxing stay. It's also really well located (residential area but close to a lot of attractions like Mireuksan, the sky luge... you can even walk to the other side of the city from the guest house). Jeroen is incredibly kind (he was very arranging gave me many advice and tips on my travel plan), I wish I could have stayed longer just to speak longer with him. I definitely recommend !

Staying only one night in Episode Guesthouse was not enough! First, Tongyeong has too many islands and hikes to offer to only stay two days. Second, the guesthouse really feels like home. After weeks of travelling around, I enjoyed sharing a happy breakfast and chatting quietly in the livingroom. Also, we had to do some last minute booking modifications and the host was super helpful and understanding. Well, in a nutshell, I hope to go back there soon!

Jeroen is one of the best hosts i have encountered so far. Absolutely makes you feel at home, has great tips and good stories

The host was welcoming and accommodating. The facilities were good and breakfast was included.
