포항 유니풀빌라

I'm writing this so others won't be fooled by the reviews. I went with 3 family members and 4 dogs, paying close to ₩500,000 in total, and I honestly don't understand why the review scores are so good. They call it a dog pension, but there's barely a dog bowl and no space for dogs to run around. It's really old and not cheap at all. These days there are much nicer, newer places, so I don't know why it's still expensive and has good reviews.

First~~ it's very neat and well-organized. The size is moderately spacious, which was nice. I brought my dog and there was nothing dangerous, so we had a good time.

I can't edit my review so I'm adding this: the towels were stiff, the blinds were full of dust, and we went because the view was supposed to be the ocean, but the ocean is far away and barely visible. I honestly don't know why they charge this amount. I also booked after seeing the good reviews below. Don't be fooled, everyone. You'll just waste your money and time.

I was fooled by the reviews. I'm writing this so nobody else gets fooled like I did. I booked for around ₩300,000 and went with expectations after seeing the photos. - Location: First of all, it's not near major Pohang tourist spots, so it's inconvenient. - Cleanliness: The living room sofa, room, and bed didn't look overtly dirty, but it felt sketchy. The room also felt damp (we visited in winter, not summer). Since it's pet-friendly, there were no dog stairs for the bed, so we laid blankets on the floor and slept. Also, when we arrived, we were the first guests of the day. As soon as I parked and got out of the car in the parking lot, I stepped in dog poop and had to wash my shoes. The pet owner who left without cleaning up is the worst, but I also question whether the owner even cleaned up properly after the previous checkout. - Since they charge an extra fee for dogs, I wonder why there are no dog supplies. There was no shampoo or stairs, and I brought pet training pads just in case, which I'm glad I did. Of course, there was a dog drying room and bowls, but the dog hated the drying room so we couldn't use it, and the bowls were dirty so we used the ones we brought. Honestly, it was a waste of money. Even the pension's base rate is extremely unsatisfactory for the price. At this price, it would have been better to go to a hotel, since there was no service. Rural as it might be, there were no room locks or instructions, so I was anxious about my belongings when we went out. - Whirlpool: The whirlpool cost an extra ₩80,000 or ₩90,000, I don't remember the exact amount, but we paid a pretty large extra fee in cash to use it. The water didn't get warm at all so we couldn't even use it. When I called to ask, they spoke to me in a somewhat angry tone telling me not to touch anything (I didn't touch anything), so I stayed feeling very uneasy and unpleasant. In the end, it never got warm so we couldn't use it properly. Also, the male owner opened the door and walked right into the room without knocking or saying anything while I was changing clothes (I am a woman). I hid in a hurry, but thinking about it after coming home, I still don't understand why I had to endure this kind of inconvenience. And the next morning before checkout, while it was still a bit warm outside, I wanted to go into the pool (because the money was such a waste), but the owner didn't even ask and came into the room again to drain all the water and left. Absurd! - Bathroom: The bathroom only had cold water, so I just washed quickly with cold water and went to sleep. Listing this all out makes it even more absurd. I should have gotten angry and asked for a refund on the spot, but I'm even madder at myself for holding it in like a pushover. I'm writing this so no one else gets tricked by the reviews like I did. I didn't take any happy photos of our dog or family because we couldn't enjoy our stay, and the only things I took pictures of were crabs.
