Ahndong Kimjongtaek Yangsodang

Che dire….per una notte ci è sembrato di vivere nel periodo Joseon!! Hanok tradizionale bellissimo! Abbiamo dormito sui futon nella camera con le bambole e ci è sembrato di vivere nel passato! L’hanok è molto fuori Andong, più vicino all’hanoe village, e noi siamo arrivati con la nostra auto a noleggio. Ci siamo ritrovati in questa struttura molto antica, bellissima, con un prato curatissimo all’entrata. Il proprietario ci ha accolto e ci ha raccontato la storia della sua casa e quella della sua famiglia con grande orgoglio. Gentilissimo e molto disponibile. La camera era fighissima. Certo spartana con il bagno all’esterno, ma è una sistemazione tradizionale quindi così deve essere. Ci ha svegliati il canto del gallo e c’era una pace intorno che infondeva serenità. Bella esperienza.

Nulla

Incredible stay to sleep in a traditional home with an incredibly warm host.

Лучшего места для проживания в Андоне мы, кажется, просто не могли найти. Мы остановились в настоящем традиционном корейском доме 1879 года постройки — доме, который когда-то посетила и высоко оценила сама королева Елизавета II. И самое удивительное — здесь до сих пор живёт потомок семьи, которая построила этот дом. Отдельное огромное спасибо хозяину. Настолько доброго, внимательного и гостеприимного человека встретишь далеко не каждый день. Честно говоря, сюда стоило приехать хотя бы ради того, чтобы с ним познакомиться. Сам дом — это настоящая аутентичная Корея. Традиционная архитектура, деревянные конструкции, минимум современности, а спали мы на матах прямо на полу. Ощущение было такое, будто мы на одну ночь перенеслись в средневековую Корею. И именно благодаря этому опыту, когда мы приехали в историческую деревню Хахве, внесённую в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО, мы смогли совершенно по-другому оценить каждое её строение и понять, как жили люди в Корее много веков назад. Это место — однозначный MUST VISIT. Если будете в Андоне — даже не сомневайтесь. Останавливайтесь здесь. Это не просто ночёвка, а настоящее погружение в историю и культуру Кореи.

L’expérience très enrichissante de dormir dans une habitation traditionnelle et un un accueil très agréable de la part du propriétaire. Une climatisation silencieuse et des ventilateurs dans chaque pièces… très appréciés lors des pics de chaleur d’août !

Des futons un peu minces pour des occidentaux habitués aux literies molles.

Het is een prachtige historische woning, de tuin is prachtig en wat het compleet maakt is de gastvrijheid van de gastheer. Voor een westerling is het net even wat anders om op de grond te slapen. Het maakt de beleving juist compleet. En het mag dan wel eeuwen oud zijn, er zit airco in de kamers 😉.

Wij waren met het openbaar vervoer. Houdt er rekening mee dat er in het dorp zelf geen faciliteiten zijn. Deze moet je dus zelf inslaan.

房東很親切

浴廁離太遠

Vi havde sådan et dejligt ophold. Værten tog sig ualmindeligt godt af os og hjalp os med at planlægge et godt og interessant ophold. Mod forventning var der også en lille morgenmad! Det er et traditionelt hus, hvor man sover på traditionel vis på gulvet. Det er en del af oplevelsen!

L’habitation typique c’est une bonne expérience

Extraordinaire voyage dans le temps dans ce hanok d'époque, tout est authentique, un vrai séjour comme aux siècles passés. Le propriétaire a été aux petits soins avec nous.

文化財の韓家に泊まれる。 オーナーさんのキムさんがとても親切な方でした。

古い建物なので設備の不便さはしょうがないと思います。

le logement, un authentique hanok et dormir au sol. l'environnement calme et paisible. la proximité avec le village traditionnel Hahoe.

This was a fabulous experience for my family, to stay in a genuine Joseon period farmhouse that has been maintained but not overly restored. Although we have family living in a similar property 400 years old, this one felt more traditional in that it had been less provided with modern amenity and gave a real sense of a Joseon period home. That said, it was very comfortable indeed. The owner was helpful and interesting.

It is good that it doesn’t have indoor plumbing as that adds to the authenticity, but you do need to be prepared to schlepp to an outhouse for ablutions! The shower is a showerhead in the toilet, though it is easier than it sounds and the water was really hot and strong. The linen was also not that fresh.

Echt mooi traditioneel hanok huis met mooie tuin er omheen. Vriendelijke host, verwees ons naar goed lokaal restaurant waar je heerlijke bulgogi kunt eten.

Eind december is een verblijf hier een uitdaging vanwege de kou, dus wellicht beter om hier niet in de (strenge) winter te overnachten. Vloerverwarming in slaapgedeelte werkte wel goed waardoor we het ´s nachts uiteindelijk niet koud hadden. Maar de woonkamer kon vanwege de vrieskou eigenlijk niet gebruikt worden. De prijs is dan in verhouding tot de prijzen van onze andere overnachtingen te hoog.

경치좋은 곳에 있는 괜찮은 고택이라 기대를 많이 했는데 고택 자체는 훌륭했지만 청결도나 관리가 형편없었습니다. 아무리 고택이라도 손님을 맞는 숙박시설이라면 청결관리나 기본적인 숙박시설 관리는 되어야 할 건데요, 그냥 고택 그대로 잠자리만 제공하는 느낌이었습니다. 이부자리는 겉감(시트)도 없이 여러사람이 오래 사용하던 것을 세탁한지 몇달 된건지 그대로 할아버지냄새가 났고, 방바닥은 쓸지 않고 닦은지 오래된 건지 휴지로 훔지니 머리카락과 시커먼 먼지가 많이 나왔습니다. 화장실이 공용화장실이라 좀 불편한 건 이해가 가지만, 오래된 사무실용 화장실처럼 생겼고 주거용 화장실과는 거리가 멀었습니다. 머리를 감거나 발을 씻기는 매우 불편했고 샤워는 생각도 못하겠네요. 기본적인 세수와 양치만 할 수 있었습니다. 비치된 수건에서도 땀냄새가 많이 나고 청결도가 많이 떨어졌습니다. 추가로, 온돌방은 전기장판이라 따뜻하게 온도조절은 가능했는데 냉장고가 없어 시원한 물이나 먹을것 보관을 할수도 없었습니다. 방에 비치된 화장지 곽에도 한 장 빼서 썼더니 그게 마지막이었네요. 다행인 건 사장님이 알려주신 근처(7km) 온천사우나를 다녀와서 불편한 화장실에서 못한 샤워, 발 닦기, 머리 감기등을 해결했습니다. 풍광 좋은 고택이라 전체적인 분위기는 좋았습니다만 고택이라 허가가 나지 않는다고 하니 방마다 전용욕실 설치는 안된다고 하더라도, 시설 기본적인 숙박에 필요한 시설보완(냉장고, 화장실에 세숫대라도...)과 청결관리(방바닥,이부자리,화장실)가 필요한 것 같습니다.

오랜만에 어릴때 외할머니 댁에서 머무는 느낌이 들었습니다. 아들한테는 옛날 한옥집에 대해서 생생히 느낄수있는 기회였구요. 고택을 아름답게 관리하시느라 고생많으실 거 같습니다. 저는 부슬비가 내리는 날이었는데, 비가 안오는 날은 외국분들과도 외부에서 좋은 시간 보낼수있을거 같아요!

Staying at the Head House of the Andong Kim Clan was an unforgettable experience. This Hanok is part of the Folklore Cultural Heritage of South Korea, and you can feel the history in every corner. I was told the home was built in 1779, though the landmark sign outside suggests it may date even earlier. The owner, who was born in the very room we stayed in, and his wife were gracious and welcoming hosts. The setting is beautifully rural and quiet—there’s no television, but instead you can enjoy the sounds of nature, whether it’s the gentle rain or the night chorus outside your window as you drift off to sleep. In the morning, we were served fresh corn cake and a crisp apple, a simple but heartfelt touch that made the stay even warmer. As with any Hanok, the sleeping arrangements are traditional: you’ll be resting on pads placed directly on the heated floor. The pads here were not the thickest, so I doubled mine, but I still found the experience authentic and comfortable. The traditional pillows were surprisingly pleasant. The bathroom facilities—a toilet and combined sink/shower—are located in a separate building just a short, covered walk away, which added to the sense of staying in a historic setting rather than detracting from it. Overall, this is not a luxury stay in the conventional sense, but it is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Korean history and culture. Any small inconveniences are far outweighed by the charm, authenticity, and hospitality you’ll experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper connection to Korea’s heritage.

Finding the property in the dark was a little challenging. There were no large signs indicating it was a Hanok Stay, and at first I wasn’t sure the historic building I saw was the actual place. I eventually confirmed the location by looking for the number 28 on the building. While the building itself was well-lit, it sits back off the street with space for a couple of parked cars, so it’s easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for.

Vieille maison historique beau jardin et belle vue.

Les sanitaires éloignés et assez rudimentaire et partagés.

The hanok is over 200 years old, and is largely kept in its original status. Hence it was a real immersive experience. The rooms are 100% authentic and the host is still living there according to the traditional ways. The host is very friendly, helpful and always ready for a chat. The location is excellent, provided you come by car.

Because the house needs to be kept in its original state, a compromise is needed regarding comfort, such as the long walk to the basic bathrooms or sleeping on futons.

חיפשנו את הלינה בסטייל של הקוריאה הישנה. קבלנו כל מה שרצינו: בית בן 300 שנה בכפר ישן, שינה על הרצפה, פוטון במקום מזרון, חדר עם קירות עץ, שולחנות נמוכים. הילדים נהנו עד השמים. טיולנו בכפר ישן, שקט ונקי בדמדומי הערב. בבית העתיק יש כל הנוחיות של המאה ה21. מזגנים, שירותים, מים חמים וכו. אבל במקביל גם חוויה של הקוריאה העתיקה. בעל הבית קבל אותה והסביר איפה נמצא כל דבר. הכל מסודר ונקי. הכפר נמצא במרחק של 10 דקות נסיעה Hahoe Folk Village. המחיר פחות פי שלוש כמעט. האוטובוס מגיע מדוייק לפי מערכת שעות בערך כל חצי שעה. חוויה אותנטית ונעימה ביותר.

לא היו דברים כאלו

Expérience extraordinaire et authentique. On dort sur des futons mais la salle de bains est fonctionnelle, propre et vous disposez de tous ce dont vous avez besoin. L'hôte est accueillant et vous conseillera sur le restaurant du coin.

The authenticity of this historical house is the main attraction. The owner is super friendly. The house has been in his family for 8 generations so he is proud to tell about the history of his family and about the house. There is a beautiful garden with a nice view of the hills.

You really need a car to remain mobile from this location

안동 여행이니까 고택에서 자고 싶어서 예약했는데요. 주머니 사정 때문에 저렴한 방을 골랐지만 마침 그날 공실이 하나 있어서 사장님께서 '건너방'이라는 곳을 주셨습니다. 오예~나이스~ 기대 이상으로 방도 깨끗하고 전망도 넘 좋았어요. 창을 여니까 마당이랑 담 너머로 보이는 마을의 들녁도 예뻤고 아침엔 먼 산에서 뻐꾸기 소리가 들려서 자동으로 눈이 떠질 정도로 평화로운 집이었어요. 아침에 일어나서 마을 산책 한번 돌았는데 여기가 낙동강 이어지는 데라고 하시더라구요. 하루 잘 묵고 갑니당~ 담엔 친구들이랑 또 올게요.

별로 불편한건 없었습니당!

Was great to feel the house and how this typical way of living happens

Could serve breakfast. As it’s old it’s hard to keep super clean especially the shared toilets. For what you get it’s too expensive

The property was very beautiful and tradition. Great experience for Foreigners. However the facility was poorly maintained and inconvenient. It could be better if the toilet and shower is clean and renovate in better way.

It was beautiful building

Super friedly owner and lovely house <3

Kim, the owner, is a lovely person, ready to support and give information. The house is beautiful.

The room was dusty and the restrooms were not properly cleaned

Traditional Hanok house where you can feel and sense the atmosphere of traditional Korea. Very nice natural environment with lots of birds and silence

When you are not used to traditional Korean matresses, it is hard to sleep. Joint badroom could be better

Very nice to be able to stay at such a historical place. The owner was nice

It’s far away from everything and no possibility of breakfast or dinner close by. Easy if you’re staying 1 night but we stayed 3 and it was not as easy without a car and buses not running on time

The house was beautiful and well maintained. It felt like stepping back in time. The house overlooks a beautiful valley and village. The floor mats were comfortable to sleep on, and the room was warm. The host is welcoming, friendly, and informative about the history and general information about the house and the surrounding areas.

The house was a bit dusty. I understand it's an old house, but it could be cleaner. The "kitchenette" was just a kettle, mugs, and a toaster oven; so it's not very useful. We were able to make tea and coffee because we brought our own. It would be nice to add some basic kitchenware like plates and cutlery so that guests can prepare a basic breakfast. Especially seeing as there are no places nearby that open early.

Very friendly host. The place itself is unique,an experience to remember!

The owner is incredibly kind, and the place offers a truly memorable experience. We loved every moment!

There is no store or restaurant nearby. If you dont Have a car this could be a problem so prepare yourself in advance.

We took a taxi easily from the main Andong town here although we could have also eaasily taken a bus too. There was also good car parking spaces. The house was historic and beautiful and the room comfortable and clean. The bathroom is outside but clean. The beds were really comfortable and a great authentic touch. The room was warm and the owner was kid and hospitable. Note that there is no breakfast severed or restaurants nearby so make sure to eat before you go or bring snacks so you can enjoy the house well!

I do wish there was breakfast offered - it would have made the stay a little more magical!

Even though we arrived later than intended, we were met by Mr Kim who gave us a full history of the property, which was built in the 1700s. The room was traditional, clean and had a view over the valley. I wasn’t expecting breakfast (so that wasn’t a problem) and Mr Kim advised us where to go in the morning. He was very friendly and we would have liked to have spent another night. Underfloor heating for the traditional Hanok mattress.

There were two shared bathrooms. Both had toilet, sink, and a hand-held shower. One had a little less space than the other due to an industrial walking machine.

The building history and the level of preservation throughout the years.

Location is not central but still close to Hahoe village.

Host was friendly and shared about his personal anecdotes during check in. A unique experience as it is a traditional hanok stay. The floor and water heater worked well in the winter, and the room was well insulated. It is also located near a bus stop but it is important to be mindful of when the buses stop operating as well. The bus ride to Hahoe Folk Village took 5 minutes.

The toilets are communal and shared with 2 other parties. We had to walk outside for about 3-4m to the 2 toilets in the winter. We also slept on mattresses laid on the floor, but it was comfortable and warm. These were not personally an issue because it is a traditional experience, but it might be uncomfortable for some. One bug was also spotted on the floor, but that is all that we have spotted. The room is otherwise very well maintained and clean.

Authenticity

Bring your own car

It’s a beautiful traditional old Korean dwelling in attractive surroundings. You wake to sounds of cock crowing and birdsong. The living room contains antique furniture and interesting ceramics, puppets, and rustic mobiles.

Thin futons on a hard floor meant a limited sleep for us. A trip to the loo at night involved donning the supplied rubber shoes and walking 30 metres across a yard to shared facilities.

The host was fantastic and the experience truly Korean recommended to have the experience
