“The room is quite different…” in Korean
객실이 예약 때 본 사진과 많이 달라서 변경이 가능한지 여쭤보고 싶은데요
gaeksiri yeyak ttae bon sajingwa mani dallaseo byeongyeongi ganeunghanji yeojjwobogo sipeundeyo
Meaning
The room is quite different from the photos I saw when booking, so I’d like to ask whether it’s possible to change rooms.
Usage note
여쭤보다 is the humble form of 물어보다 (“to ask”). Trailing off with -고 싶은데요 softens a complaint into a gentle request, which keeps the tone polite at the front desk.
