"訂了女生4人房帶獨立衛浴，卻在晚上7點多收到沒房間要改8人房的通知，感受不太好，這麼晚也找不到其他合適的住宿。 共用浴室只有一間，需與一間8人混宿.4人男宿.雙人房一起共用。 同房其他背包客也是碰到換房的問題....。 優點:房主熱情.民宿地點很棒"

"정말 별점 100개를 드릴수 있다면 드리고 싶을 정도로 너무너무 만족스러운 숙소였습니다! 2박 했는데 아침마다 손수 차려주시는 집밥 조식을 잊을 수 없을 것 같구요ㅠㅠ(심지어 압력밥솥 밥ㅠㅠ윤기가 자르르 흘러서 맨밥만 먹어도 맛있는ㅠㅠㅠ) 정말 친절하시고 화장실, 방 모두 청결하고 침대 시트도 베개도 너무 깔끔해서 좋았습니다. 춥지도 덥지도 않게 이틀내내 잘 잤네요~ 공간도 넓어서 쾌적합니다! 가격대비 최고인 별밤게하! 다음에 광주에 또 온다면 꼭 다시 오고 싶을 정도로 완전 강추합니다!!!(나만알고 싶은 숙소인데 사장님 부부가 너무 잘해주셨어서 조금이나마 도움이 되었으면 하는 바람에 정성껏 올려봅니당♥️)"
