The lovely lady did my hair so beautiful and perfect!! she was very gentle, the other workers were so kind in helping me find the perfect size!! 💕😊 thank you for this experience! beautiful clothes! 💗
I liked that you were friendly even in Google Messages, and I appreciated that this place is always open while others are closed.
I like it the most here among the hanbok rental shops.❤️
I came to Bukchon Hanbok while sightseeing, and I am very satisfied with my experience
I wanted to try wearing hanbok, Korea's traditional clothing,😄 so I searched and heard that Bukchon Hanbok has a wide selection of beautiful hanbok.👍🏻 I visited the place and was amazed by the diverse range of hanbok designs and lovely colors.😘 I am very pleased with the result, and it was a truly satisfying experience.❤️
That's great to hear about your first visit to Bukchon Hanbok, the Hanbok rental shop at Gyeongbokgung! It's wonderful that there were many people, and the owner was very kind. Having a variety of Hanbok and a pleasant atmosphere must have been a delightful experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it! When you have another day to wear Hanbok, be sure to visit Bukchon Hanbok again. Have a fantastic time! 😊
There are a decent selection of female outfits but very limited male outfits and they do not look at nice, the trousers are black, blue or red so clash with a lot of the outfits there. The nicer male outfits cost more as well as accessories and hair braiding.
The shopkeeper initially seems friendly asking you to come in and try but once you put on an outfit she threatens you to pay at least 15,000KRW because you have to pay for the experience of wearing a Habok or says it is to cover cleaning costs even though you are wearing the outfit on top of a t shirt. If you change your mind and decide to go for another outfit she also starts threatening that you must pay 15,000 per outfit you try. When an outfit is too large and you want a smaller size she sarcastically says how many outfits do you need to try, I will have to start charging you 15,000 per outfit you try from now on!
There are only two fitting rooms and the shopkeeper constantly interrupts by trying to enter the fitting rooms to collect stock. The shop is very cramped and there is very little space to walk.
Once you have picked your outfit she hurries you by saying “Pay now! Pay now!” Instead of waiting for you to collect your stuff and go to the counter.
The shop offers braiding and accessories for girls hair but a young girl initially wanted braiding and sat down but changed her mind but was still forced to pay an additional 15,000KRW despite no work done and clearly had her day ruined after the unpleasant experience.
The lockers are useless as they have no keys to lock your valuables and she sells additional lockers for 1,000KRW. When you ask for a key she says there is no key, don’t put any valuables in there.
Pricing is:
15,000 for 2hrs
20,000 for 4hrs
3,000 fee for every 10mins you are late.
Hair braiding and accessories such as hats also cost more but it is not made clear these are extras until later.
Additional cleaning fees or outfit fixing fees (such as tears) at the shopkeepers’ discretion (a lot of outfits already have minor tears so be careful).
10% additional fee if you pay by card.
Overall a very poor experience, there are many rental places around the village with nicer styles. The shopkeeper should try focusing on making the experience of choosing an outfit more pleasant instead of rushing customers into a quick decision and threatening them when they change their mind!
One benefit of wearing a Hanbok is you get free entry into the Palaces nearby.

I highly not recommend this place.
At first, my friend and I were going to rent at One day hanbok but this place was fully booked. So we accidentally found this place on our way to the village.
We saw the price in front of the store and thought is reasonable (around 15,000for 2 hours and 20,000 for 4 hours).
The owner will be nice with you at first, she said that we can try first and pay later. I chose the first outfit and tried it on. After I finished the owner said I should change my skirt cause it too long and gave me a new one, so I changed. After that I think is not fit with my top, I chose new outfit once again, then the owner said, if I change one more time I have to pay her an extra 15,000won.
I acknowledged that and wait in line in front of fitting room, then the owner let the others that come after me skipped the line cause she said that I have tried it twice, so I have to wait ,even if I came in line first.
My friend want an accessories and hair dressing but you have to pay an extra for 5k for accessories and 15k for hair dressing. (We thought that included in dress price)
The shop is very small and not organized. The dress is also dirty. The owner also rude to us. However, their two staffs are very nice and helpful.
