I stayed in this guesthouse from 28 February 2018 until 8 March 2018. Booked 3 rooms for me and my family.

One day before check out, I already said to Mr. Lee (owner) tomorrow will check out at 05:30 AM because my flight is at 08:25 AM from Incheon. He said ok, but on the day I wait him until 05:40 AM and he didn't come. So I wrote a message for him and put the keys on the lobby, then chat him via Kakao Talk. I said on the letter for him to transfer back my deposit into my bank account.
Then around 06:14 AM he replied my chat, he said office is open at 06:00 then I remind him about our late conversation.
He doesn't care about it and say cannot transfer the deposit into Indonesia's bank account.
And the worst thing is He said He found smoke on 2 of our rooms. We are not a smoker. He definitely lied about this and said we can be fined because smoking inside his room, and we have to pay for KRW 60.000. The deposit for each room is KRW 30.000, so i lost my KRW 90.000

They also provide a bad service, no smile at all to the guest. When we have brunch on the lobby at 10:00 AM which is their cleaning time, he drive us out from the lobby. No mercy at all.

The owner is insane

I stayed in thia guesthouse and booked from Dec 9-15,2017. i used my
card to reserve the booking then paid in full
(cash) at the property. Then when my bill came I saw that my card was
charged for ₩59,000. I emailed the property and he said he cant refund
because booking.com deleted my card information.  After multiple emails to the property and booking.com, they both confirmed property will refund me so I sent my card details to the property owner again and again.

Today, the property owner just emailed me that he will not refund me because he gave me a free room. Will tell you the whole story now.

We arrived Seoul Saturday - Dec 9, 2017. We booked Dec 9 -15. We arrived in the hotel past midnight because our flight landed past 10 pm. No one is in the hotel to check us in. We waited in the lobby for hours and met another guest who is also waiting to check in. I called the number at the reception area to let them know we are already in the hotel. We only got an answer after 5 am when the owner arrived and was surprised we weren't able to get to our room. Apparently, he left our room key with a note in the reception area as nobody mans it at night. But 2 strangers looking for a room came in and finding nobody in the reception,they took our room key and used our room.

He then woke them up and asked them to vacate the room so we can use it. They changed the sheets and cleaned the room before we took over. I know the strangers also paid that night. Before we settled in our room, property owner told us he wont charge the first night because of the inconvenience. Because of that, we slept super late, past 6 am and wasted almost the whole Sunday as we woke up late catch some sleep. The other guest we met who is supposed to check in Sunday, was also given a room. The owner thought he was with us I said no there's only two of us in my booking.

The next day, we checked in properly as owner said he will transfer us to a new room. We booked a double room for 6 nights and the room we stayed at on the first night was too small. I paid cash for the 5 nights (as he said first night is free) because his card terminal is not accepting my credit card (even my friend's). So I thought we were all good. The other guest we met also checked in that day and I also saw him pay cash. This other guest is also Filipino, and being in the same country, it is normal to talk and be friends. We also toured together the next day as he is alone. His companion wont be in Seoul until Monday,

When I got back to the Philippines, I was surprised to see a one night charge on my bill. As I have mentioned in my previous note, I thought you and the property already agreed on refunding me. Today I got a note that the property doesn't want to refund anymore. He said he gave me 2 free rooms when I only booked one. So I am assuming he assumed the other guest we met in his lobby was with us. I DONT KNOW THAT GUEST. I ONLY MET HIM THERE. So if he gave a free room to that guy, he should bill him and not me. I find it very unprofessional. First of all, he should at least have informed me he will charge me. I thought we are all settled after I paid in full with cash. Then he will charge me without my knowledge for the reason that he has not even confirmed?  Second he agreed already that he will refund me. you also confirmed it. Why did he suddenly change his mind? Is it because of my review? He sent me a note that read my review before he said he will not refund me. Did he use that review against me?

Room is really very tight. If you come in winter and have a couple of luggages with you it will be a challenge to open it as there is very little space.  Guess that's what happens when no security because the owner is the one who personally manages the place.

Breakfast is the same everyday.Bread, peanut butter, jam and instant coffee. And they take it away exactly at 10am even if guests are still having breakfast.So always make sure you wake up in time for breakfast.
Another downside is you can hear noises from other guests. We had a noisy group next to us and they even tried opening our door good thing we always lock it. After that we are always on alert.

in our 6 nights stay, towels were never replaced and he only gives 1 roll of tissue. No cleaning.

Dont book this. Owner is a fraudster.

Myeongdong Stay Residence" is extremely unacceptable. This hotel should be banned. They provide very bad service to customer, do not try this hostel!!! 1. On the arriving date before getting the rental fee, the owner looks very nice. We ask whether we can leave the luggage at the hotel after check out because our flight is late at the evening. He commits us nicely that we can definitely leave there. He has the storage room available. On the other hand, one the checkout date, he just changes the word cryptically. He informs that no space anymore. Ok.. never mind. Then, we just ask to sit at the lobby to wait for our friend after check out, he refuses because he will clean the lobby and asks us to stand outside the hotel at the very cold weather. 2. Normally, the hostels always have the public area for guesses. One night, we just sit there with small cup of noodle. There is no prohibition sign that we cannot eat or bring outside food. So, we think it’s fine. By the way, the owner never says no but his action is very disgusting. He goes to open the front door and smokes. So, both the cold air and smoke come to us directly. So, we have to leave the public area finally. 3. for all 6 nights, we stay here, he never clean the room and provide only 1 roll of tissue for 6 nights!!!. Once, we are for more, he reacts very badly like we ask to stay there for free👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼😡😡😡
