A city with rich historical culture, loads of fun activities to keep yourself occupied and mouth-watering delicacies, Seoul is one of the most sought-after places to visit. There are excellent restaurants and cute animal cafes in Seoul that serve delicious food.
With the Hallyu Wave at its peak, spreading all around Asia and beyond, we’ve never been so interested in Korean tradition and customs. It’s no wonder that tourism in South Korea has skyrocketed lately, but traveling has never come cheaply and that may be one reason why some of us haven’t traveled so much.
Here, we’ve shortlisted some of the best Airbnbs in Seoul, and the best part? They are all really affordable! You’re one step closer to booking that flight right now.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 23, 2024.

32. Traditional Korean house near Anguk station
“It was a fun experience staying in a traditional guesthouse. The staff was helpful and friendly.” - Joan (Guest Review)
Stepping into this traditional Korean house (hanok), you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported back to the olden days. To truly experience Korean culture, one must not miss out on staying in a hanok. The number of hanoks have decreased significantly amongst modern changes so if you’ve got an opportunity to experience one first hand, grab it! Nestled in Samcheongdong, an area with stunning architecture and vibrant culture, it allows guests to fully experience what it’s like living in a traditional Korean village. This guest house has all the basic amenities, such as a kitchen, heating, and, of course, the Internet. Ideally a place for two, the friendly hosts do not charge extra for an additional person.
Situated within walking distance of Seoul’s most beautiful attractions like the famous Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village, Doo Guest House couldn’t be more conveniently located, making it one of the best Airbnbs in South Korea. Located nearby is also Anguk station, easing the hustle of transportation.

34. Dog-friendly rental with views of Han River
Looking for a place with a view? Look no further for an urban vacation rental. This cool apartment is tucked on the upper floor of a high-rise building right next to Exit 11 of Dangsan Station, a central location in the city. Its floor-to-ceiling windows perfectly frame Seoul’s Han River and the majority of the city below. Try not to get distracted by the show-stealer outdoor vistas when catching a flick on the living area’s flat-screen TV. You’ll also wake up to great views after a recharging sleep in the queen-size bed. Blackout curtains are available for light sleepers.
Feel free to coordinate with the host if you plan to bring your dogs. The rental is dog-friendly for a small surcharge. What’s more, this property provides a limited parking pass to help you settle in comfortably.
