In order to improve and preserve hanok, we do not accept reservations for a certain period every year and do our best to maintain hanok, but due to the nature of old hanok, leaks may occur during the rainy season. In this case, we will contact you in advance, and we appreciate your understanding that your reservation may be canceled for a better Hanok stay experience.

About Seoul
Seoul holds the largest share of boutique hanok stays in Korea. Three neighborhoods — Bukchon, Seochon, Ikseon-dong — each offer a distinct density and pace. Most properties sleep 2–4 guests. Peak-season booking lead time is 3–4 weeks.
Booking Tips
- Stayfolio has the widest curated selection. Butler Lee manages 40+ hanoks and offers hands-on property matching. Airbnb covers most but not all listings.
- Book 3–4 weeks ahead for April (cherry blossom) and October (fall foliage). Hanoks are small and fill fast.
- Most Seoul hanoks sleep 2–4. For groups of 5+, target Muwolgwan (10-guest) or The Chae: Courtyard (10-guest).
- Ondol (heated floors) is standard. Traditional hanoks use floor bedding; renovated hanoks often have beds. Confirm before booking.
- Rakkojae is the top tier: tea ceremony, hanbok, cultural programming included.
