Is it cheaper if I contact the host directly to book?

A. No — direct transactions are strictly prohibited. This is for your safety. Here are the risks:
- Scams or fake listings
- Risk of not getting your deposit back
- No legal or language support in case of disputes
When you book through Homes in Korea (HIK), your payment is protected, the property is verified, and you receive support both before move-in and throughout your stay.
