🚨🚨‼️‼️SCAM ALERT!!! ‼️‼️🚨🚨 AVOID THIS GUEST HOUSE AT ALL COSTS!!!! DO NOT VISIT !!!!! 🤮🤮🤮 There are numerous reasons to why you SHOULD NOT visit this guest house: - The owner is the greediest stinky man you’ll probably EVER meet. He might greet you with a big smile on his face and a “ Hello, Welcome to mama’s guesthouse “ but secretly in his mind, he is just thinking of all the ways he can MILK you out of your money. MONEY MONEY MONEY is all that man cares about, and once he finds out that you can’t speak korean, and you’re a foreigner, countless amount of costs such as insurance, tax, child fees, service fees ( he REFUSED to let a 4 year old be in the same room as her mother, because apparently she needs his own bed, or pay an additional fee of 50000 won a night ) ( He refused that a 7 year old needed his own room, and forced us to pay for it otherwise we couldn’t check in to the rest of our fully paid rooms ) etc will be added to your originally 40000 won room. BOOM, now your room in a mere guesthouse costs 180,000WON?? You could check into a very decent hotel with a beach view with that money, so why WASTE it on a GUESTHOUSE?? It’s honestly surreal how above and beyond this man’s greed can go and it’s very upsetting. - The service, even for a guesthouse, is HORRIBLE. The owner THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE 🚨🚔👮👮♂️on us because we were a little loud. ( MIND YOU A FAMILY OF 10 WITH MANY LITTLE KIDS ) He could’ve just said “ Excuse me, would you mind being a little quiet? “ BUT NO, we got “ If you don’t lower your voice, I’m calling the police on you “. - The owner overall has such HORRIBLE and BOSSY 🤮 attitude towards his guest, like we’re begging on our knees to stay there or something. Always giving us orders to follow and raising his voice, he DOES NOT have the proper attitude of a guesthouse owner. - Following from my point where I said the owner is insane GREEDY, he skimps out on paying for the heating as well. When we went there, it was freezing cold outside 🥶❄️AND SO WAS the INSIDE. That man doesn’t bother heating the facilities, especially the corridors. If you go out in the corridors, with the measly worn down slippers they provide you with, you could expect your feet to be frostbitten 🥶❄️ in a matter of seconds. Visiting my family in the other rooms was such a pain because of the fact. - 🦟🕷️🪳 INSECTS IN FACILITIES!!!!!! My room had the fattest flies buzzing in there, which kept me up the whole night, I didn’t get an ounce of sleep. There was also a spider web in one of the room’s corner. It was during the winter months, and a single insect couldn’t be found EVEN OUTSIDE, but best believe that there will be tons of them in Mama Guesthouse. 🕷️🦟🪳🚨‼️ Overall me and my whole entire family rate this place 0.000001 out of 10 and we wrote this review to prevent anybody else from having such horrible time. The only reason we put up with it was because we arrived late at night before mew years eve, and already had booked and fully paid for 3 of the rooms. We had no other choice BUT YOU DO!! DO NOT VISIT THANK YOU!!! ‼️🚨🦟🕷️🪳

Perfect location near bus, metro, etc. Also 5 min away from the intercity bus station. Room was clean, and service very polite. Great stay for people looking for an individual room/bathroom near city center instead of hostels sharing rooms!

Very close to the beach and food street just next to it. Nice and helpful staff. Sure will book again when travel in Busan.

Steven at the front desk is so nice and helpful! He assisted us with booking a boat cruise for much cheaper than the usual market price. The rooms are cozy but more than enough if all you’re looking for is a bed to sleep in. The location is right in the heart of a beach area with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.
