Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links to booking platforms. If you book through one, the platform pays me a commission. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same as going there directly.

Every post that contains one says so above the first link, not buried at the bottom.

What I don't do

I don't take sponsorships. No paid stays, no paid placements, and no property has ever paid me to write about it. No property gets to read or approve a review before it goes up. That isn't going to change.

If a place isn't worth the money, the review says so — and the link stays up anyway, for anyone who wants to book it regardless.

Places I haven't stayed in

Some of what I write about, I've stayed in. Some I haven't — and where I haven't, the review says so plainly, near the top. Those posts stick to what can actually be checked: the location, the rates and what they include, the rules a foreign guest runs into, and what guests report over and over. I don't write a place up as though I'd slept there.

Images and takedown

Every image carries its source in the caption — the property's own material, a booking platform, or my own photo. AI-generated illustrations are labelled as such.

If you own an image used here and want it removed, email checkinjun@gmail.com and it comes down. No argument, no delay.

Prices

Every price on this site is stamped with the date I checked it. Korean room rates move constantly, especially around holidays. Treat any figure here as a starting point, not a quote.
