About Budget Travel 2 Korea

Who publishes Budget Travel 2 Korea, how the guides are built, and what we will not do.

Budget Travel 2 Korea covers South Korea for people doing it cheaply: the transport passes worth buying, eating well for very little, and where to sleep that is not a hostel dorm.

How the site is built

Every recommendation carries a price, because a budget guide without numbers is just a guide. Prices are in won with the month they were checked, and the site says when something has become a bad deal rather than quietly leaving it up.

Facts come from primary sources. Rail and bus fares and pass conditions are checked against KORAIL and the operators; entry rules against the Korean authorities. Anything numeric carries the date it was checked, because a price without a date is not information. Geographic data comes from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap, photographs from Wikimedia Commons under their individual Creative Commons licences, and time zone data from the IANA database.

What we will not do

We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so. We do not claim to have tested something we have not: plan details and prices that come from a provider rather than from our own checking are labelled as such. And we do not publish a page to fill a gap in a keyword list.

Corrections

If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it and say that we did. Email [email protected] with the page and what is inaccurate. Corrections to a specific fact are made on the page, and the update date on the page changes with them.
