Can you book a hotel in South-Korea if you're 18 ?

[Z31]

I'm travelling next summer with a group of friends to South Korea and the oldest member of the group (myself) is 18 years old. I know that South-Korean hotels do not let people under 19 check-in so I'm wondering if with Airbnb I can check in despite being a minor according to South-Korean law.

@Z31 Technically unless there is a rule in the listing limiting check in age you should be fine. But it is risky so I would message the host after/before booking to check they areOK with your age.

I'd recommend  a message to the prospective host before requesting a booking. That can be done with an "inquiry" to the host. Best to not surprise them - rather, work together. Many hosts are not keen on under 21/25 guests, especially in groups. May your trip be amazing!
