Hi, I’m Soony, the owner of Soony Homestay. I am now living in this house. And there are vacancies in my house. So, I just want to rent them to some guest for homestay. As a first-generation homestay host who has been operating a guest house for over seven years, I’ve been named an excellent host by the Korea Tourism Organization.
I have hosted many people from all over the world and shared indelible memories with them. Your stay at Soony does not simply mean staying but it means experiencing the charm of Korean culture and life with many other people from all over the world.

Mr and Mrs Soony are so welcoming. The room is very comfortable and clean, the food is amazing. I learnt so much about Korea from them. I would love to visit this fantastic city and country again and I would definitely stay with them again. Thank you both so much!

I stayed for 4 nights in Seoul and choosing to live with this family was perhaps my best decision. I called my host parents ajhumma (aunty) and ajusshi (uncle) and from the very first day they were extremely warm, loving and welcoming towards me. They came to pick me up on the first day and drop me off at the bus stop even though my flight was early in the morning. Their house is very conveniently located with easy access to the subway, airport limousine and local buses. The room was very clean, comfortable and warm. And the biggest plus: ajhumma makes the best Korean food! :) I absolutely loved my stay in Seoul with them and I cannot wait to go back again someday soon!
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
