Enjoy the outdoors.
For peace and nature it is an ideal spot. Best arrive with your own transportation because no shop or venue is close to the hotel. A minus point is that the hotel has no restaurant. The bathroom could use an upgrade, nevertheless all features work.Western people may find the bed a bit hard. Anyway we had a great experience.

Good morning? Since the Olympics, everyone has come to our quarters in a quiet time. I remember the guests who love the nature to walk in cold weather. Our pension is near the mountain, not the center of the city, so it may be a little uncomfortable I had a pickup service that needed it. Travel is a thrill, but new experiences are also memories. Thank you for your evaluation. I will listen to your words. Thanks

Nice hosts, but room had bugs and little comfort
It took me a while to decide if I should write this down here, since the hosts were super nice and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and do not deserve to lose business. But there are a few points I need to mention so future guests are aware: 1. The hosts do not speak English at all. They used google translate to communicate with guests and went out of their way to serve us, but communication was difficult to say the least. 2. We had giant ants in the room. We killed at least 2-3 of them everyday, and some even crawled around on the bed. And that's in winter. I don't want to know what kind of bugs they have there in the summer. 3. We had one of those silly bathrooms where the shower isn't separated from the sink and toilet. So every time someone takes a shower everything is wet. This reduced the comfort considerably. 4. The floor wasn't clean, there was quite some dirt in the creases and corners. 5. In general, the facilities were old and worn and would need an upgrade. 6. The location is in the middle of nowhere, so if you do not have a car, taxi is the only option to get around. We came for the winter Olympics. While getting a taxi out was easy, we sometimes had difficulty to get a taxi back.

Good morning? We apologize for the inconvenience. I think the evaluation may be different depending on the individual. I did not have to speak in poor English because the lady who speaks the same language speaks Korean. Traveling abroad can be uncomfortable. Our pension is not in the city center but it is next to the natural mountains and valleys, so transportation can be a little inconvenient. If you do not travel to see the Olympics at your scheduled time You can also use public transport here. I will improve a lot of things I have pointed out. evaluation thank you

Idyll in den Bergen
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Ein koreanisches Ehepaar, welches den extra meter geht, damit es den Gästen Spaß macht. Einziger Haken, ich habe bis zum Schluss nicht herausgefunden, wie man die Heizung runter dreht.

Ich dachte, du und ein guter weiblicher Gast wären leidenschaftliche und gesunde Menschen. Wir schätzen die Gäste aus Deutschland. Möge Gott Sie jederzeit und überall segnen. Danke.
