I was worried because there weren't many reviews for this newly built hotel, but it was clean and really nice. It had an ocean view and was really pretty!! It's close to Daegae Village and the cafe street, so it was easy to get around, so if I visit Yeongdeok again, I'll come back to this hotel!
Traveling with kids, this place is much cleaner after the renovation compared to when it was Sonobel. The swimming facilities were good, but there wasn't much for kids to do, so it was a bit hard to spend the whole day there (no slides or play structures). It seems good for toddlers, couples, or families who just want to play for a short time. The artificial rock was incredibly slippery; I saw two people fall hard. The tiled floor was also very slippery even with aqua shoes on. Barefoot was actually less slippery. They really need to pay attention to safety. The water was shallow but wide and varied, so it was fine for a day of fun. The accommodations are more luxurious than before. Breakfast was just okay. The staff were friendly.
Good service, friendly staffs, clean room. Very satisfied over all. I was traveling Gyeongju, so the hotel was a bit far from the city. However it is located near the beautiful beach. I would stay here if I travel the city again!
It was a little unfortunate that there was no convenience store around, but the ocean view is really the best ~ !! There is a little distance from Yeongdeok Daegeori ....
Really convenient to be near lots of restaurants, there is a really good bakery cafe in the same building & coupons for the bar across the road.
Breakfast included in the stay is basic with eggs, toast and fried rice. There is juice but no coffee.
Rooms are huge as is the bath. Only minor thing was the light switches are meant to be remote controlled but that didn’t work so you have to manually go to the switches on the wall near the door.
Would stay again.
Super clean and spacious new villa in Hanok style.
It's a bit out of town, but main attractions easily accessible with a car.
Check-in was a bit difficult as we had no Korean number and communication was only possible in Korean. In the end a friendly worker helped us by calling the owner. Thanks again for his help.
We traveled with our three children. The facilities were clean and great, the beds were comfortable, and the marble ondol (heated) floors were wonderfully warm. It was also convenient to do some quick grocery shopping at the Hanaro Mart next door, which had Gyeongju local produce. We briefly used the indoor pool, but it seemed a bit unkempt, probably because it was winter, which was a bit disappointing.
1. Cleanliness: The bed, floor, bathroom, etc. were all very clean. I wiped them with the magic block I prepared before playing in the kids' spa bath, and there was nothing left.
2. Location: The reason I gave it 3 points (average) is because it is far from downtown Gyeongju, so it is difficult to access cultural heritage sites in the city, Bomun Complex, etc., so I gave it 3 points.
However, since the accommodation is next to the ocean, if your main purpose is to use the beach in the summer, it would be 5 points.
4-1. For a family of 4 (2 preschoolers), the room I chose (1 queen + 1 single) would be enough, but since the standard number of people is 2, I regret paying half of the daily rate as an additional fee... Regardless of the size of the accommodation, most pensions these days have a standard number of people of 2.
4-2. I only had breakfast once during my 2-night stay. I was very satisfied with the simple breakfast without any frills, but personally, the price was a bit burdensome. (It's cheaper than large hotels.)
5. Facilities: It seems to be about 3~4 years old, and there seem to be about 3~4 buildings. Based on the building with the counter and the building I stayed in (the building with the rooftop pool), it was clean and nice overall...ㅎ
The rooftop pool is warm water, and there is a screen, so you don't have to worry about the cold. However, you can't see the ocean from the rooftop because of the screenㅠ
The shower room and bathroom were separated into different spaces, and the toilet in the bathroom was really uniquely for the disabled;;; (backrest, handle)
Maybe because it was a disabled bathroom, it was also quite large. About the size of a disabled bathroom at a department store?
On the other hand, the shower room is only for 1 person...ㅎ
6. Overall: If I go to Gyeongju, I would definitely visit again. It was a very cost-effective accommodation. (The East Sea view from the room was great!!!!)
Fantastic location by the lake - recommend staying here if you're driving, else better to stay in the city area. Hotel is really nice and well kept, staff are professional. We didn't use the facilities like the spa/sauna, as they required additional payment, which I understand is not uncommon in Korea.
Very Good

WWBeautiful chalet-style place for staying! The bed is very comfortable. The room is clean and organised. A few chairs and a table to do work or eat. Very spacious area for watching tv. There’s a bbq pit outside each unit. The host brought fresh towels for my second night, thank you! I love the beautiful decoration and swimming pool downstairs, even though it’s cold at night. It has a charming atmosphere, with an outdoor screen, swings and nice music. Sound insulation is ok, although you can hear the frogs croak outside from the bathroom.
The place is about 20 mins’ walk from the bus stop with restaurants, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Theres a emart24 about 10 minutes away. There’s a restaurant next door that sells fried chicken till 11pm. It’s a must-try! Host and his wife are extremely helpful people. Thank you for your warm hospitality!
Highly recommended for people who want privacy and lots of space to hang out.
강강바람4Located on the shores of Bomun Lake in the Bomun Complex, it's a great place to take a walk and relax.
The Uyang Art Museum also has a great exhibit, so I highly recommend stopping by.
As you stroll, you'll soon reach Bomun Lake Square.
New sculptures have also been added since APEC, so be sure to check them out.

SSofia_PoeThe room is clean, it has a mini-kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. I loved the shampoo! There's a garden outside.
There's no reception, so you need to contact the owner to make arrangements. As far as I understand, there's a 15k-per-person fee if you check-in after 10 pm, but i wasn't asked for it in the end.
The location is a bit far away from the city centre: you need to walk for around a kilometre to the nearest bus stop (11, 100). There are a few convenience stores and restaurants on the way.
GGuest UserJust accross the sea and about 1km plus from Homigot, you can just stroll along the beach road and it will reach the Homigot square.. love it.. they have tools for outdoor BBQ.. the staff cannot speak English but they did provide you with English version for rules to follow and use phone translation to communicate and thats not an issue for me.. if you driving you can go to seafood market they are popular with snow crab or Japanese house street for cafe and history just few KMs from the place..
DDKriegEverything exceeded our expectations - very spacious, everything new, nice private pool. Very quite and peaceful place but still close enough to many attractions in and around Gyeongju.
Note: no real personal service, since you just rent a Hanbok villa. Access via digital door lock. Fresh towels provided every day. Fully equipped kitchen.We did not need anything else and even extended our stay for one more night.
