Excellent location! Many cafes/restaurants/convenience stores within walking distance. The area is very cute. Staff were very friendly and made us a traditional korean breakfast for our departure morning. This was easily our favorite place to stay during our 2 week trip to Korea.

We had an amazing stay here. Our hosts were welcoming, friendly and super helpful- even booking taxis for our early morning train trips for us. The Hanok was deliciously warm in the very wintry minus 12 degrees celsius and we were provided food to prepare breakfast each morning including the most fabulous fresh strawberries. Highly recommend a stay here.

I had such a restful stay and the accommodation was absolutely beautiful— perfect for being immersed in the traditional Hanok atmosphere. The owner was highly responsive and helpful. It was raining and I was able to locate the accommodation and drop off my belongings/check-in earlier than 3 PM without issue. The property itself was peaceful, clean, and well-maintained. Upon booking I was warned about cats, but they added onto the experience. Location was perfect for exploring Hwangnidan-gil and...

It was a wonderful experience to stay at Hidden Hill Bulkuksa Hotel. Jojiu was the most gracious host I’ve ever come across. She really took care of us. We wanted to do our laundry and she insisted on doing it for us. She saw I wasn’t feeling well and did a really effective massage that made me feel a lot better. That’s only one part of the experience. We were a half block away from the Bulkuksa temple and across the Bulkuksa Market. I couldn’t recommend this place enough

It is only three minutes' walk from Gyeongju's most popular place, "Hwangridan-gil," and has provided me with the experience of Korean-style accommodation. The owner was very kind. It was a unique and fun experience for me.

Fantastic traditional hotel stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Made breakfast every morning for everyone - hot sandwiches, coffee, tea, cut fruit, salad. Very nice place to stay and spotlessly clean. Buildings are traditional Korean and were beautiful. Very nice play to stay near the sights.

My family's stay at this place was beyond excellent. When we got there, we can immediately tell the property was well taken care of and seemed managed with "love". Yes, I typed, Love. Landscaping around the yard and patio, little flowers, cute mailbox, a swing, etc. were meticulously done with care and gives really welcoming feeling. Frankly, when I saw the photos posted on the website, I wasn't sure what to expect as the decorations were very colorful. But when we got to there, the...

My advice before the review. Caution taking taxis as to make sure they know where this place is located as I had a bad cab experience and got overcharged because my taxi driver had no idea and could not find and I ended up talking the last 7 minutes to get there when it was clear he did not know.
However, once I got to the property the owner was so nice and helpful to me. This is a cute place for a hanok stay and super quiet. Lovely serene appearance. Also, it is close to many restaurants and...

Great stay with good breakfast options. Only negative was that they didn’t accommodate my car in the onsite parking garage and asked me to park in the public parking area on both nights.
