What to check
- On the official Temple Stay (템플스테이) booking site, check the participating temples, program types, schedule, meals, items to prepare, and cancellation policy.
- For temple programs, the rules on Buddhist services, meditation, communal meals (gongyang, 공양), communal-living rules, and restrictions on mobile phones, alcohol, and smoking may differ from temple to temple.
- For hanok lodging, check whether the lodging business has filed a report or is registered, the room type, the bathroom, heating, soundproofing, and stairs, foreign-language guidance, and the safety facilities.
- For traditional lodging, the photos may differ from the actual room, bedding, heating, parking, luggage storage, and breakfast conditions, so check the booking screen together with the operator's guidance.
- For religious and cultural experiences, ask in advance about participation obligations, dress code, diet, and any health-related restrictions.
