KoRoot Guest House was founded in July 2003 to help returning Korean adoptees to resolve the challenges faced in Korea by providing them with accommodation and assistance for family search orientation, interpretation, and providing information to ease them while they are staying in Korea.
We have four types of rooms: a women’s dormitory, a men’s dormitory, a couples room and a family room. Couples have the priority for the couples room and families have a priority for the family room. If the family room is not otherwise occupied, it may be used as a dormitory.
Amenities includes: Air conditioning, daily breakfast, shared kitchen, shared bath, a common room, free WIFI and a flat screen tv, linen, outdoor garden/balcony, and towels.
This Green oasis inn is a kind of a home base and a starting point into the country for me. Mrs.Kong, Pastor Kim and Changseon gave me a familiar feeling and welcomed me happily. I enjoyed meeting nice and interesting people from all over the world with who you can exchange feelings, thoughts, or just hang out with.

KoRoot is a special place. It is a place of comfort, of support, a space to just be. And we do not need to explain our existence. It is a place of connection, despite our separation from our birth country.
