    Nice location with good connections. The host, Judith, is very helpful (e.g. booking tickets for me when that didn’t work in Klook); and she has lots of tips and advice. Upon arriving I was showered with information about places to visit and how to get there. Recommended.

    We loved our stay here. Judith has created such a warm and inviting atmosphere at Sokcho & Guesthouse, which seems to be infectious as all the guests were very open and friendly to each other. Great recommendations on what to do, and a feeling that she really cares about her guests. Walking distance to the market, and we were very warmly received at the Korean BBQ restaurant she recommended. Would give Judith and Sokcho & Guesthouse 12/10 if we could!! :)

    There is nothing to dislike. It's perfect.

    After reading all the reviews we were really excited about the guest house and meeting the owner, Judith. It didn't disappoint in the least. The guesthouse is very convenient for buses and the market. It was spotlessly clean, and Judith couldn't do enough to help us during our stay. Would definitely return if we visit Sokcho again. Judith even helped us purchase bus tickets from Seoul and back. We couldn't find tickets online at the times she found.

    A chill, friendly place run by an English-speaking Korean family. They have all the local information (attractions, bus times, etc.) on the wall ready to go, and took me through it when I arrived. It was pretty quiet when I was there, and the host went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed.

    The host Judith is warm, hospitable friendly and very helpful. My stay was the most memorable during my trip in South Korea. Highly recommended. This place is strategically located in front of Sokcho Tourist Market and busses to Yangyang, Seoraksan National Park and Naksana Temple.

    Everything was good.

    Judith the host is wonderful, and is happy to provide information that will make your stay in Sokcho more enjoyable. Her food recommendations were brilliant. The location is great, and we were able to walk easily to the market as well as to convenient bus stops. The guesthouse is not far away (perhaps a 10 mins walk) from the Intercity Bus Station in Sokcho. Breakfast is simple but good (tea, coffee, eggs toast, homemade jam). The place is very clean, and our room also had an air filter that we used when the outside air quality was bad. Will definitely return to this same Guesthouse in the future. Thanks Judith for everything !

    Small nitpicks that don’t change my rating: each room has a toilet/shower. I prefer when they’re not in the room to avoid having to wait or disturbing other guests if they’re sleeping

    The beds were comfortable, the toilets were clean and the shower pressure was good. Good location: close to the intercity bus station, city bus stop, fish market, lake. The breakfast was excellent featuring homemade strawberry jam. The hostel itself has a large common dining area, and the pictures are accurate. And the hostel owner is an absolute pleasure, giving off a homey vibe. She gives good suggestions of tourist attractions and how to get there and can book a bus ticket online for you if needed

    Nothing.

    Everything. The guesthouse is located adjacent to seaport so you can feel and smell the sea breeze, also it is only walking distance to open markets that sells everything you need. The guesthouse is very hommy and the owner is very friendly and can speaks few languages fluently (Chinese, English, Indonesian...). I recommend to choose family room with sea view if you travel with 4-5 people. Big room, seaport view with seagulls chirping sound every morning. There is also recommended seafood restaurant at around 200 m back of the hotel, but you need to come before closing time at 8.15 pm. Will definitely stay in this guesthouse if we go back to Sokcho.

    Host, of course! Judith is a wonderful host, kind and try her best to make your feel like at home. She gave the whole information about city and the national park, gave all recommendations, schedule of buses and help me to buy ticket to a Seoul. Also she can help you to buy a ticket to Busan from Sokcho. The room was so clean, the breakfast is so good. She even made her homemade strawberry jam when i was there! She speaks English very well and it was a pleasure to talk about everything :) Highly recommend!

    The hostess is very hospitable and friendly. We truly loved her. Gave us a room with a separate bed because my daughter wanted it at the same price. All information regarding tours in the city provided, she even explained and suggested what to do.
