I used to stay in hotels when I travel overseas. This was the first time in my life I tried staying in a guesthouse (or I also call it a hostel), and I must say I was very uneasy about this accommodation initially. However, it turns out to be FABULOUS experience. The manager at the guesthouse was very friendly and helpful. When you ask him something, if he don't know, he will search the internet for answers. And, if you need information of a certain product, not only will he help to find out the price and the shop address, he will also browse some online forums for user reviews and discounts.It was a great help as those forums are all in Korean language, for people like myself who don't understand Korean, will not be able to get hold of such reviews easily.
It may look a little too good to be rating 5 points, but considering the amount I am paying, i think it definitely worth 5 points.
