I had a great experience with enkostay. It did have a lot more affordable options compared to Airbnb for long-term stays so I stayed in Seoul for 3 months, and I ended up with a great host who was very responsive of my asks! The heating needed repair but she was quick in sending the repairman so it was resolved within a day. Loved it!
DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

This company is a complete scam. They do not properly vet properties before listing them on the site, and when issues come up, they make you jump through endless hoops. Instead of helping, they push you to deal with the host directly or force you to pay penalties. It’s clear they only care about collecting money, not about customer satisfaction.Do yourself a favor and stick with Airbnb or another reputable platform. If you absolutely must use this service, triple-check the property in person before signing any contract. I deeply regret ever using this app—it has been nothing but stress and frustration. If I could give zero stars, I would.
Developer Response
We sincerely apologize for your frustrating experience. Your feedback is valuable to us.Enkostay connects international tenants and hosts based in Korea as a platform, rather than providing real estate brokerage services. This means contract modifications require direct agreement between tenants and hosts, though we recognize we should have provided clearer support throughout your experience.We will do our best to improve our services, including property verification, to prevent similar issues. Thank you for your honest feedback. It helps us serve our users better.
Seamless process!

I used Enkostay to book a place for my month-long stay in Korea and had a great experience. The booking process was smooth and hassle-free.The map feature was incredibly helpful—it shows key subway stations and universities, so it was easy to compare locations and choose the right place quickly.It was also more affordable than Airbnb, and I felt like I got great value for the price.Would definitely recommend Enkostay to anyone planning a short- or mid-term stay in Korea!
Just use Airbnb

Don’t expect to get support if there are issues. Could not reliably reach my host OR enkostay. Had questions and issues when checking in. No response from either. No hot water in shower, no response from either for over a week. Was not resolved within the two weeks I was there.
