# When Should You Renovate Your Pension?

Hello. This is ONDA, the digital leader in Korea's hospitality ecosystem.

Every year, property owners face the same recurring dilemma:



##### **_Does my property need a renovation?
When's the right time to do it?_**



The question is all about **pension renovations**.

Let's clear up the confusion once and for all.





### **March Is Renovation Season**

April brings warm spring breezes and travelers eager for picnics and flower viewing.

As spring arrives, travel picks up — and so do bookings.

**If you're planning a refresh before welcoming guests, March is your sweet spot.**

In fact, small and mid-sized hotels typically renovate in March.

Fortune favors the prepared.

Before peak season hits, check what needs fixing — facilities that need repair, amenities that need replacing — and get it done early.



### **Do You Need to Renovate Every Year?**

No. 

Minor touch-ups are one thing. But structural changes — adding a bathtub or spa, completely rethinking the concept — those are major projects.



There's a reason famous hotels rarely overhaul their rooms.

Between time and cost, annual renovations aren't realistic.

**What matters is this: 'How consistently can you maintain a spotless property?'**

Anything broken or visibly worn needs immediate attention.



According to a survey by Yeogi Eottae, **'hygiene and cleanliness' scored 4.77 out of 5** in importance.

And **99.1% of respondents said they'd return to a clean property**.

The state of your facilities matters more than anything else.



If you want that fresh-from-construction look year after year, wallpaper replacement or regular paint jobs help. 

**Ongoing facility maintenance isn't optional — it's essential** for guest satisfaction.

### **So What Kind of Interior Design Actually Drives Bookings?**

Between these two properties, which one gets more reservations?



##### **_① A cozy, home-like space
② A dream house you've always wanted_**



It's #2.

Yes, this is a simplistic question. 

But remember: **your property exists to generate revenue**.

If you keep that front and center, the answer leans toward #2.

Today's guests don't just want 'rest' — they want 'experience.'

Not generic home interiors, but **a clear concept with standout furniture, curated decor, hotel-grade bedding, and an atmosphere they can't recreate at home.**



If DIY design feels out of reach, study popular properties on Instagram. What do their interiors have in common?

The "House Tour" section on interior platform Ohouse (오늘의 집) shows you what people actually want to live in.







That wraps up the most common questions about pension renovations.

Trend ON will keep delivering practical insights for hospitality owners.
