The private barbecue was really good, though the artificial grass needs to be replaced or taken out. Bits of it kept sticking to my feet and legs and getting tracked indoors. The owner’s kindness is truly top-notch, but the facilities don’t match it. I can accept that the place is old, but repairs and improvements are needed. There should be a trap installed in the bathroom. At night, the sewer smell was so bad when I went in there that I almost threw up. I think that’s what makes the room smell, too. It really comes through strongly.

The facilities are all set up for dogs to play, and each room has its own BBQ area, which felt ideal for the COVID-19 era. But what really stood out was how incredibly kind the owner was, warm and affectionate like a friend. I’d absolutely come back next time, haha.

For 65,000 won a night, the dormitory was about what you’d expect for the price. The pet fee is extra. Hygiene wasn’t great, and the facilities and tableware felt quite old. The low price is probably the upside.

My son wanted to see Munji, so I booked a dog boarding house for an overnight trip with him, and it was great. The barbecue area was so cold that I ended up eating in the room instead. I didn’t have the owner’s number, which was frustrating. I couldn’t even get through by phone, it just went automatically.
