The Zen Boutique is a little bit of heaven on earth! The rooms sit up high so when you are on your porch you feel like your in a tree house. In the morning you hear the birds, elephants, and beautiful Lao music playing from across the river. The staff are great! The only thing was that I wish the pool was warmer and cleaner for swimming. Honestly, it was so beautiful we didn’t care.

A slice of paradise

The Zen is a bit far from town and after making reservations there we wondered if we had made a mistake. As soon as we arrived we knew we had chosen the right place. After a day in the hubbub of charming Luang Prabang it was wonderful to return to a peaceful, tucked in the mountains gateway. The rooms had nice views, were clean and comfortabe, the staff friendly and accommodating,and the restaurant had good food with a view. I swam in the mountain fed pool which was refreshing. I would recommend water shoes though. The only down side, not for us though since we had our own car, is that getting into town requires paying for a shuttle each time. If we had not had a car I would have split my stay with lodging time with staying in the heart of Luang Prabang and a few nights at the Zen.There is plenty to do right there and still leave you refreshed and rested.

BREATH TAKING

The view from every location in this resort is absolutely breath taking. I loved sitting in their book room and reading while watching the clouds roll over the mountains. The staff was absolutely incredible. I was the only one staying at the resort when I was there, and the manager invited me to eat dinner with her and her friends. I was blown away by the hospitality, helpfulness, kindness, and beauty of the entire place. If I am ever back in Laos, I will absolutely be coming back.

Lovely place for a few days chilling

Had a lovely old style room overlooking the river. Great view from room and pool area. Outside of town. But great for a few days relaxing in the hills. Elephant Park and local village within walking distance and local school village festival was great to see. The new bungalow rooms look more modern, but liked the character of those overlooking the river. Staff helpful and even made local food we requested that was not on the menu.

A Slice of Paradise

This place is AMAZING. Out of town. Unbelievably quiet - just the noise of the cicadas, birds & geckos to relax to. My bungalow was comfortable with a great view. If you want a rowdy party scene - don't come. If you want peace, tranquility & rejuvenation - this is the place for you. The were only 5-10 other guests so it was very quiet. Friendly staff, and very helpful. I had an amazing 90 minute massage. Meals were great & great value. Cant find a bad this to say about the place. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and serene place a bit off from Luang Prabang. Good for relaxing, enjoying peace &quiet and exploring the countryside. No services around (shops etc) so bring what you need with you. The resort restaurant is nice, especially the local food. If you want to explore the city, you can do a day trip or stay there for a couple of nights, it's about 30-40 min drive.

Nice eco hotel with view to river and forest

Great hotel for people who wants to enjoy the nature, animals and the jungle with comfort. My husband didn't expect the quality of the hotel facilities.We came with two kids. The breakfast is the best. Also, the lunch is really good. Our experience was even more special thanks to the staff manager, Evelyn. She wasn't just kind and fun. But also, she took the time to make plans for us to enjoy Luam Prabang(the restaurants, the temples, the night market and the National Royal Museum). You feel you are at home and you are being taken care of during your stay. We went to the town one day, and the other day we went to the waterfalls by boat. In the mornings, we were lucky to have one of the suites with best view in the hotel to see the sunrise, the water buffaloes and sometimes to hear in the mornings the sounds of the elephants in the jungle on the other side of the river. The swimming pool is also great for kids. It was a really great experience.

7月の雨季のローシーズンに宿泊しましたが、日中はほとんど雨が降らずカヤックやエレファントヴィレッジなど周辺でのアクティビティを楽しむ事が出来ました。 その上宿泊客が少なかったので、鳥の声、虫の声、そして象の声などを聞きながら食事を 楽しめたのも良かったです。

Zeer geschikt hotel als je rust zoekt

Volgens internet gegevens is dit hotel gelegen 1 km vanaf het centrum van Luang Prabang.Dit blijkt onjuist afstand is ca. 13 km en gelegen op een berg. Uitzichten zijn de moeite waard. Het ontbijt is goed voor dinner redelijk maar je hebt het wat dat betreft na 1 of 2 dagen wel gezien. Personeel is aardig. Een geschikte lokatie als je rust zoekt.

I spent 3 awesome days in this resort, without expecting the feeling that just staying there was fully sufficient and just doing nothing. This place would deserve to stay secret but I must share my enthusiastic opinion about this place. Just go! The owners and their team are great people and very helpful.

Secluded retreat in the hills

Overall, our family of 4 had a lovely time staying at the Zen Namkhan. Our 2 bedroom suite was enormous and beautifully furnished, with a lovely outdoor shower area, and a huge balcony overlooking the Nam Khan River and the mountains beyond. Waking up only to the sounds of birds in the trees and elephants trumpeting from downriver was wonderful, and we really felt the right amount of isolation in nature (though nature was a bit too close once; despite not leaving doors open, we had a big rat sneak into our room at night, and it required the night watchmen's assistance to usher it out... oh well, it's the country!) The food offerings are good, not great. The pool is beautiful, but not large. The cabins are all downhill from the main lodge, and the staff is all women, so be prepared to feel awkward watching them insist on hauling your luggage up and down many winding stairs. I would not say this is a true "resort". Though there are some grounds to stroll, and a very small room for massages, it's really just a very nice guesthouse set in a beautiful location. One big caveat is that it definitely removed from town. If you're looking for seclusion and nature, it's perfect; but if you intend to shuttle in and out of town for meals, shopping, activities, etc., it'll be a challenge (or costly), as most in-town tuk-tuks won't want to take you and you'll have to arrange for pricier private cars for transport.

Nicht lohnenswert

Es ist sehr schwierig in dieses Resort zu kommen, wenn man am Busbahnhof von Louang Prabang ankommt. Tuktuk-Fahrer kennen dieses Resort nicht und es geht auch kein Tuktuk (ca. 25 Minuten mit Minibus) dort hinaus. Am besten man ruft das Resort an und sie holen dann einem ab. Jede Fahrt kostet 20 Dollar (160'000 Kip). Die Besitzer sind nicht wirklich sehr nett wie man das eigentlich erwartet in Laos...und auch das Personal könnte freundlicher sein. Aufgepasst auf die Endrechnung...wir mussten sie fünfmal zurückweisen, bis sie stimmte...sehr ärgerlich! Die Preise im Resort sind viel zu hoch!!! Wir hatten das Honeymoon-Bungalow...das war sehr, sehr schön, aber auch da müssen sie sehr aufpassen, dass nicht alles verkommt. Alles in allem würden wir nicht mehr diese Unterkunft wählen, es gibt sooo schöne Hotels direkt in Louang Prabang, die auch sehr ruhig und direkt auf den Mekong Sicht haben. Man ist definitiv viel zu weit weg von der Stadt.

Fabulous hotel, staff and location

What an amazing hotel - fabulous staff, beautiful hotel and great location. We can't think of anything negative to say as the staff went out of their way to try to make our time in Hanoi a wonderful experience. They were incredibly friendly, ensured that we got the chance to try some of the food they love to eat (eg che) and suggested wonderful places to visit and eat. The buffet breakfast was fabulous and we so appreciated all the complimentary treats throughout our stay. Great hotel. Thank you to the staff for such a wonderful time in Hanoi.
