There was nothing we didn't like, but people with limited mobility need to consider that they will be staying in a traditional 16th century house with some uneven steps and low doors. All part of the adventure of travel!

The location on the banks of the Nakdong River is wonderful, along with the sense that you have stepped into history. The accommodation is simple but comfortable, the hosts welcoming and extremely helpful, and the traditional Korean breakfast absolutely delicious. You wake to the calls of many different birds in the forest behind the pavilion, and go to sleep to the sound of frogs in the nearby rice fields and river reeds. We would have liked to stay longer to do nothing and unwind.

Nothing bothered us, everything was perfect. even the bathroom, which was in a separate building, was modern, super clean and exclusive to us.

10 is not enough to rate how wonderful this place is. beautiful historic hanok, well-kept surroundings, amazing view, helpful owner and delicious breakfast. 100% worth the price.

We arrived at night and it was difficult to find as there was a sign that said no cars on the road that led to it. Also, having the bathroom in a separate building can be problematic for older travelers.

The breakfast was delicious on both days. It was served on time and filling. The host was very attentive to our needs. The hanuk and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. It far exceeded my expectations.

For an older person, I felt I needed to be careful with the stone stairs. My big American feet did not fit in the slippers. I think the directions should state to go down the road past the confusion academy.

The breakfast was very good. The host was most helpful. The bathrooms, while detached, were clean and nice. The ambiance of the river and the village was unparalleled!

The best place you can stay at. The place is just gorgeous, surrounded by the most beautiful nature. The host was super friendly and was happy to help with everything we asked.

The staff at Okyeon Jeongsa were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay - they even offered to pick us up from Hahoe folk village as we didn't have a car, and helped us to book a taxi back to the train station when we checked out. The breakfast was delicious and was served in a room with a beautiful view of the river. Me and my family had an unforgettable experience staying in this hanok, and we highly recommend Okyeon Jeongsa to anyone who is looking to visit Andong!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

It was our privilege to be able to stay in this amazing, historical accommodation. It was very quiet and relaxing, and we slept great. Breakfast was delicious. Seunghwan, the owner, and his family went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and they even gave us a few rides around the area, for what we are really grateful. We will always remember and cherish this experience, and hopefully come back in the future once again. 감사합니다

Nothing. It's perfect.

옥연종사 is an amazing piece of history that has been fitted with modern comforts. It was a privilege to stay there and I can't wait to come back.

This is a 400 yr-old complex so dont expect a modern hotel - but owners still make it comfortable..

Gorgeous historic location. Good mattresses and heating. Copious Korean breakfast. Very helpful hosts, we could arrive any time.

It was all great

The location was fantastic and to know that this hanok was the home of someone very important in Korean history and to meet his 16th generation descendent was beyond expectation. The fellow studied in the states so spoke great English which was very helpful.

Owner, manager, chef were friendly and helpful. Owner gave clear details of surrounding n sights. Manager Kang too prepared us before arrival on direction n parking. Breakfast served was absolutely delightful and delicious. Environment was beautiful and a short drive to Hanok Village.

Okyeon Jeongsa is so peaceful and authentic-looking! I felt transported back in time. There is a path down to the river, and the riverside is pretty in the morning fog. Another path goes through the woods up a cliff, from where one can see the entire Hahoe Folk Village. The futon turned out to be surprisingly comfortable - I slept so well! Breakfast was outstanding. Lastly, Mr Kang was kind enough to pick me up at the village and then drive me to the Byeongsan-seowon Confucian Academy the next day, which I appreciate very much. He also answered my many questions before the trip, which helped me plan my stay better. I would stay here again if I had a chance. Thank you!

As a couple in our 70s we found that the bathroom was too far away. We need to go 1-3 times a night.

The building and the surrounding area.

The location is fantastic and if you are looking for an authentic stay this is the place to choose. You literally sleep in an historic building. Beds are comfortable and the room and bathroom are clean. In the morning we were given a fantastic breakfast. You are surrounded by nature and at night you can hear the crickets. There is a little path which leads to the Buyongdae viewpoint (10 minutes) where you have a beautifull view over Hahoe village. The host is very friendly and helpfull. He gave us some tips about the luggage lockers at Hahoe village and came to pick us up at the village after our visit. Remember there are no eating facilities here for lunch or diner, so prepare therefore. We took a taxi back to Andong bus station.

Nothing

A unique accommodation, tranquil setting, extremely comfortable mattresses and tasty Korean breakfast.

Separate bathroom from room is a bit of a trek, and the shared suites have no sound proofing, but hey it’s a traditional Korean building built over 500 years ago, so that’s the trade off.

Absolutely incredible in all respects. Stay here if you can.
