Floor-bedding room
Ask about mattress thickness, bedding sets, heating and getting up from the floor.

Confirm the exact bed size, room layout and bathroom; a hanok exterior does not tell you the room facilities.
Whole-house or guesthouse
Check exclusive-use areas, shared spaces, host presence, guest limits and quiet hours.
Four spaces to notice
Hanok is traditional Korean architecture. Wooden framing and a spatial relationship between rooms, maru and courtyard are central to understanding the home; layouts and modern facilities vary.
01
Ondol
Traditional floor heating; check the actual room’s heating and bedding.
02
Maru
The wooden-floored space between rooms and the outdoors.
03
Madang
The courtyard brings light and open space into the home.
