We stayed here for two days with our 8 yrs old son. The location of this hotel is quite remote, there is nothing much to do other than walking around the hotel or visiting nearby hotels (free shuttle). Other than that, we loved the bathtub and all the food in the restaurant. It is very remote.. so be aware of that..!

Very unique and tranquil but nothing much to do around

The hotel is a little difficult to find as the road twist here turn there and road signs are not clear. It is in a separate building away from the Golf Course. You need drive up a small slope to the end of the road.

The staff are all very professional. The hotel’s design is very artistic. A lot of attention are given to details in terms of hotel service and decorations. 

We had dinner at the hotel. The hotel has good good food, fresh air and lots of good service. The room comes with natural hot spring water and it is very clean. They use Bvlgari toiletries. We saw the most beautiful sunset here at the hotel lookout area. There is a outdoor balcony area at the room where you can enjoy the night sky. Overall we like this hotel’s very relaxing atmosphere very much and will be back again! 

Best Hotel in Jeju

We traveled to Jeju Island and had the most amazing stay at Podo Hotel for four nights.
Podo is located on the South side of Jeju Island, about 35 minutes drive from the airport. The hotel is peaceful, tranquil, and architecturally significant, since it is about 15 minutes away from the town of Seogwipo, where other major hotels are. The offerings are simple yet luxurious: there is no gym, no pool, nothing to do within walking distance really (except the adjacent golf club), except a delightful stroll around the property. Yet, everything the hotel offers is refined, generous and soul fulfilling: the in room hot spring, free mini bar with local Jeju oranges replenished daily, one restaurant with great food. Our mindset quickly adapted to this atmosphere and the stay was truly relaxing and healing. 
There are Korean style rooms which face the garden, and Western style rooms which face the ocean. We had a Korean style room with heated floors, and a beautiful hinoki soaking tub. Breakfasts, included with our room rate, is not to be missed. We also dined at the hotel one evening and it was one of the most refined meals we had in Jeju Island. 
As every traveler knows, service is what makes a hotel special. I particularly want to commend one staff member at Podo Hotel. In the beginning, we were concerned, as we realized that English does not get one very far in Jeju. Front desk supervisor Mr. Lee Seung Yeop (Jason), swiftly took over upon arrival. Jason is fluent in English, pleasant, thoughtful and polite. He helped us from luggage, to planning our daily itinerary, personally making dining reservations and even with our car navigating system. When we left a personal item at a restaurant, he offered to retrieve it the next morning and swiftly found us on the island, to return it. This is the kind of service not even guaranteed by some of the top notch hotels in the world. Jason went over and beyond expectations, and we are most grateful. Jason's remarkable gallantry is what made our stay in Jeju truly special.
Podo hotel feels like home (just better), and has quickly become one of my happy places. I wish to return over and over again.

Memorable, unique and healing

This is by far the most impressive hotel in Jeju in terms of luxurious, hot spring bath in every room, cleanliness, beautiful facilities and building, excellent foods and services. 

The staff were polite and helpful. We were particularly impressed by Ms Jisu who communicated promptly and effectively with me through email when helping me to book a room during a high session period; Mr Jason Lee for his perfect check-in service provided to us, and Mr Seung Ho Woo for his fabulous restaurant service at the Podo restaurant located near the receptionist desk. The dishes served in the restaurant were of high standard. No wonder why it was often fully occupied.

The hotel provided daily courtesy free drinks and snacks in the room-fridge. This was a very nice touch for the convenience of the residence.

The safe-box provided in the room was a bit too small for the laptop.  

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay for us.

A Top Choice Hotel in Jeju Korea

We decided to book one night out of our 4 days trip in Jeju at Podo Hotel to experience luxury in this boutique hotel which looks so charming on pictures. The architecture and room facility is great, not disappointing at all ! But i cannot give a 5 stars to this hotel. 
Upon arrival there is nobody at the entrance of the hotel, you need to figure out where to park by yourself, and carry your luggages by yourself to the entrance. Once you are inside of the hotel then they will assist you. 
Also, we expected to be able to order in room breakfast to enjoy the amazing terrace and view on the garden, but they do not have this option, you need to go to the breakfast in the restaurant. Too bad, because the room and the view are definitely the highlight of this hotel! On the positive note: your bathtube in the room is connected to the hotspring water, that was so nice and relaxing ! Complimentary minibar and bathroom amenities are one of the pleasant surprise in the room ! 

Great facility

I stayed 2 night at Podo hotel with my parents. Staffe and room service are all good . We could experienced  fantastic Oncheon. It was very peaceful and healing  time.
But there's not any restaurant and store near the hotel. You'll have to use hotel restourant if you dont have dinner or breakfast. Hotel restaurant was good but  it is easy to get bored if you keep using it

calm and peaceful palce for relaxation

PODO hotel is located on the PINX golf course west of Hallasan. The location is rather remote but beautiful. We were wowed by the hotel's architecture and its surroundings. 

We stayed in 3 western styled rooms overlooking a beautiful garden. These rooms had access to an outdoor area where you could enjoy a drink. The rooms were large and well-appointed with free minibar and snacks. There is piped-in hot spring water guests can enjoy in the privacy of their own tub. As we have chosen the Western-styled room, it room came with a 150 cm regular acrylic type bathtub. For those who enjoy onsen-styled baths, the Korean rooms may suit you better as they come with a Hinoki bathtub. 

Even though the hotel has great hardware, it was severely let down by the software.

Service was quite poor, especially at the restaurant. The staff was seen to serve Korean guests ahead of us despite us being there first. They were also very curt and often slammed the items on the table. On one of the days, they could not cope with the breakfast service - we had to wait for about 30 minutes while they clean up the tables which have been vacated for a while. 

Whilst one could excuse their sub-par service at breakfast to insufficient staffing and reluctance to communicate in English, one cannot excuse the housekeeping. 

The housekeeper left the balcony door open presumably while doing the turndown service. This resulted in the room being extremely cold when we returned after a day out. The balcony area also leads to the outdoor common area. This means that the room was essentially left unlocked for the duration that the door was opened. In addition, the mats usually placed by the bedside were strewn over the lampshades. 

One can only surmise that the housekeeper left the room absentmindedly. Luckily for us, nothing was lost, but this still constituted a severe security breach, that is unacceptable for any hotel. 

Overall, I would suggest international guests to rethink this property primarily due to poor service. They seem to cater only to the local Korean market and are ill-equipped to receive international guests.

Great hardware let down by the software

I came here with 3 friends after 5 wonderful days in Seoul and 2 days at a fantastic Jeju Temple. We were all hoping for a relaxing evening with an evening in the hot springs. What we received was sadly the opposite. We arrived and had lunch, the food was mediocre and overpriced. When we were taken to the room, we were surprised to see a filming set. They were noisy and had opened a door into the hotel which was letting freezing air in. We couldn’t take a nap like we’d wanted and the noise continue for 5 more hours. We decided to go enjoy the hot springs to get away from it but sadly found out that these weren’t even in the hotel. We had to take a drive away. Lastly in the morning despite confirming our room for 3 , they wanted to charge us for a 3rd breakfast. We pushed back and it was all handled very poorly. The whole stay was disappointing, a far cry from the relaxing time we’d planned. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for a relaxing time with friends or a loved one.
