Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The staff is great, they are kind and patient with foreigners. If you have a question or problem they will go out their way to accommodate and help you out! The guesthouse is right in Hongdae, right in the middle of everything, like 3 mins from the Train station and near a huge shopping center, there is a convenient store down the street, a post office is also nearby just in case and there’s a breakfast sandwich place called Isaac’s Toast nearby and cheap, their milk tea is awesome (ate there every morning lol). The place has a kitchen and laundry machine and dryer both every convenient if you’re traveling for more than a week or just want to cook your own food. My experience here was great overall and I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Seoul!

Cozy guesthouse near the shops of Hongdae. Room temperature was perfect for a -6 degrees temperature. Has a salon and restaurants right next to it. For our Muslim friends, they serve Halal food in the guesthouse.

This was the first time I have ever travelled to Seoul, South Korea, and having no previous knowledge of where to go or even stay, I decided to stay at BoA Guesthouse. With only Google maps, this place is really easy to find even though it does seem to be located in a back alley, the Guesthouse is really not difficult to find especially since it is very close to Hongik University station.

The reception was very welcoming and one of the friendliest, if not the friendliest I have experienced, thank you Alice, and also thanks to Sik for giving me recommendations on where to go, and both for a quick chat, also one more person, Sorry I couldn't remember his name, but he is a Manchester City fan... this I cannot understand why!

The room I requested was a single room, and they also did not disappoint! As Seoul can be really cold, the room had heated air conditioning and wait for it.... heated flooring! And comes on in the evening. The bed is comfortable, a TV and fridge is available. The toilet and shower is combined into one, cubicle, unusual to many, but it does work together being in one cubicle. It is also spacious if you have one or two quite big luggage.

Breakfast is available and is very descent, and the communal room/ dining room is quite big, with computer terminals for internet use, books, games, kitchen facilities and utensils for cooking. I even got a chance to watcha premier league game on TV in the communal room, between United and Liverpool, pretty big game.

Overall, I definitely enjoyed my stay, definitely worth staying, especially if you do end up going in Dec or Jan, as Seoul is cold, but BoA Guesthouse will definitely give you a warm welcome!

Already stayed there a couple of times and had a great time. Its really hard to find that kind of rooms with this kind of price in Korea, especially in more popular areas like Hongdae.. BoA guesthouse offers a decent sized room with private bathroom and a window in the room for a reasonable price. There is also a shared kitchen and free hot/cold water, aswell as an area to cook. The staff is always friendly too. Awesome place, really :)

I like this place very much. I stay here with my husband and brother for 3 nights (19-22 Oct 2013) in a family room. Before that we have stayed at Namsan Guesthouse 3 earlier for 2 nights. But this BOAGuesthouse is better. With same amount of money we get better room. Plan to stay in a hotel in Gangnam for 1 night as we want to discover different places in Seoul but we cancelled it and just continue our stay in BOA - as we loved this place so much!
-The room is slightly bigger than the first guesthouse that we stayed.
-The room is really clean with nice smell with most comfortable bed, pillow and blankets.
-As we are muslim we prefer to stay at a place that we can cook (especially in a non-muslim country) so will be easier for us.
-Other that the basic amenities that can be shared by everyone like Gas stove / Microwave / Cooking utensils / Electric rice cooker / Refrigerator / Water purifier / Ramen cooker / Vending machine / Toaster & Mixer / Cereal & Jam / DVD&Books / Printer & Free international calls / PC&Web cam / PDP TV / Mini bar, BOA gusethouse did provide Kitchen utensils specially for muslim. They put it in a separate locker. They also have prayer room only for Muslim on top of the building at the roof garden.This is very lovely.
-The staff is very friendly and accomodating. They are willing help if you need one.
-This place strategically located 5 minutes away from Hongik University Station by walking distance. And it will takes around 15-20 minutes to the Hongdae shopping area near to Hongik University.
-There are few convenience store near to the places - we bought the intsant rice everyday and cooked our own meals.
- There are so much good thing about this place and definitely will stay here again if we do come back to Seoul.

Already my 2nd time staying here!
As always rooms are clean and spacious (even if it's a single room, there is really enough space for one person), bed is comfortable, staff is friendly and always willing to help.
Corridors are always very clean, it's obvious they put a lot of effort into this place!
You can use the kitchen and computer anytime too.
The location is great, just few minutes away from the main Hongdae street where you can have fun 24/7. ^^
BoA hostel has become like second home to me in Seoul and i'm sure i will come back again and recommend it to others :)
Really have nothing negative to say about this place!
The value for money is amazing considering the facilities!
Can't wait for the 3rd time to stay here!

I saw many good reviews about BoA and decided to try to stay there too and im really glad i did because the room was beyond my expectations. The room was way bigger than i imagined, really clean, the bed was bigger than a regular single bed so it was really comfortable. The bathroom was also clean. The only thing that could be better - i wish there were shelves on the walls because it was a bit hard to keep all the stuff just on the table.. Subway station is just 5min away, brief 15mins away from the main street of Hongdae where everything is lively 24/7. The staff were very friendly and helpful (especially Lucy!) . If i will stay in Hongdae area again then i will surely choose BoA house again. ^_^

The most convenient choice for us yet again as we've grown all too familiar with the area and Boa's location is perfect, within walking distance from the subway with shops and cafes along the way. Again they helped us to purchase tickets online and generally the staffs are ever ready to help and entertain your requests. Tried one new thing introduced since the last time we were there i.e. the halal dosirak and everything we had was good.
