The only reason I am giving this hotel any credit is because of its excellent location. It is very close to a major bus stop, making it easy to travel almost anywhere on Jeju Island. For visitors relying on public transportation, this is definitely a huge advantage.
Unfortunately, everything else about my experience was disappointing.
I booked a Business Twin Room and paid significantly more than the other room types because I wanted comfort, privacy, and peace of mind during my trip. However, when I checked in, I was informed that the room I had reserved was unavailable. Instead, I was moved to a 4-person bunk-bed dormitory room, which was completely different from what I had paid for and something I was not comfortable with at all.
To make matters worse, the bed did not appear clean. It felt as though the bedding had simply been rearranged rather than properly washed for quite some time. The room also had an unpleasant odor, giving the impression that it had not been cleaned thoroughly. Only after I complained did the staff finally clean the room.
The biggest issue, however, was the host's attitude and lack of responsibility. When I contacted Trip.com regarding my complaints, it was extremely difficult to communicate with the hotel. Sometimes the host was sleeping, sometimes they could not be found, and whenever contact was finally made, they shifted the responsibility onto me and Trip.com instead of trying to resolve the problem. I was repeatedly told to contact Trip.com myself, which caused unnecessary stress and took away much of the enjoyment from my trip.
On the positive side, I would like to sincerely thank Trip.com for their excellent customer service. They were responsive, supportive, and helped me throughout the process. Whenever problems arose, I felt reassured knowing that Trip.com was there to assist me. In the end, they provided fair compensation for the inconvenience, and I truly appreciate their efforts.
I will definitely continue booking through Trip.com in the future. However, I will never stay at this hotel again due to the poor service and unprofessional attitude I experienced.
