JEJU Doldam B&B

This was our first trip to Jeju island as part of our first trip to Korea or Asia in general. Jeju is a beautiful place. We specifically chose not to stay in one of the two big towns, instead opting for something that looked quiet and on the coast as a contrast to our time in Seoul. The fact that the hosts speak English was a draw, and was very helpful not just for the stay itself, but Sue very kindly helped us by calling restaurants to pre-order food as well as checking to see if places we were planning to visit were open. The little town in the Andeok valley is very small, but has a surprising number of good restaurants and convenience stores as well as access to two sections of the island's Olle trail system. You can do a mountainous hike up a cliff or a hike along the coast starting just down the street from the inn. From the rooms as well as the common breakfast area, you can see the ocean and sunset over the cliff. Our room had a good air conditioner, but we only used it once for a few hours. Otherwise we enjoyed the fresh air and slept with the sliding door open, listening to the sound of the ocean waves. The inn is in a town that is off the beaten path - it is several kilometers just to get to the main road to go to other parts of the island. But in return, you are right on the coast and it is very peaceful with very little traffic. Breakfast includes homemade bread, jam and yogurt, fresh salad, local fruit, juice, coffee, hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese and cereal. It was the same every day, but the quality was excellent.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Doldam B&B! From the first moment we arrived, it felt like coming home. You can really feel the love that goes into every part of this accommodation. The owners are the sweetest people, they welcomed us wholeheartedly and gave us lots of advice for our Jeju travels. The included breakfast was delicious, especially the homemade Jeju tangerine jam! Our room was exactly as pictured online and had a fantastic view of both the garden and the sea. Everything was clean and comfortable. It was easy to get here by car and the location was great for some relaxed walks along the shore. We loved staying here and will definitely come back in the future!

Amazing owners, very helpful and the nicest people. Breakfast was very tasty and they made us a go sandwich for our early morning airport day. Very thoughtful, I'd go back and stay with them any time. The location was very near to food options and about an hour drive away from the airport, very peaceful and beautiful area. The deluxe room has a great view from the balcony. The bath tub was also great to have after a long day of exploring.

Hosts are wonderful, kind, helpful! They lent us beach blankets for our beach day. Beds are so comfy! Big rooms (reserved Double and King rooms. The King room had a massage chair!!!!) Area is so quaint, charming and lovely little area...not crowded; great restaurants nearby (two of the best and freshest meals we had was a seafood place and a pork bbq restaurants the hosts recommended). They serve breakfast and the jams and vegan bread were yummy (there are more food)! Simple but filling breakfast. Walkable to laundry and convenience store. Will definitely be back. One of the highlights in our trip (for my husband, it's his fave town we visited.)

The owners are so sweet and friendly! They gave great advice, free guidebooks, and gave me face masks when I got sunburned. It was so interesting to chat to them about their travels, and there was no language barrier at all. The breakfast was continental and delicious. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and location is good.
