+ El gatito y las vistas

- La habitacion de arriba tenia unas cortinas muy cortas y estrechas, no llegaba a tapar todo, lo cual daba poca privacidad. Despues hubo otros detalles como que el personal no me ayudo con el equipaje (tenia 3 bolsos), pero todo esto es casi irrelevante al lado del hecho de que los 3 perros adultos estuvieron durante toda mi estadía encadenados. Esto es de una crueldad incalculable. Incluso una mañana a dos de los perros los metieron adentro de sus pequeñas casas y los encerraron y pusieron una silla para que no pudieran salir.

+ The social and communal vibe of Zen House Sapa is definitely what makes this place stand out. We were invited to a family dinner for Tet on our first night and it was unbelievable. The view from the homestay is also magical, no matter whether the skies are clear or the mist has rolled in over the hills. We also absolutely loved the breakfast pancakes - such a treat and fantastic service all the time.

- The room itself was cozy but did not feel super private due to the thin walls. There was also no window, which we overlooked when booking. However, since you have such a beautiful communal space and open garden view next door this is more than compensated for.

+ From day one everything to make us comfortable was done! We found The Zen House because of a cancelation, and it was the best thing that happened to us! We visited them in New Year time, which made our experience incredible! The surrounding area is beautiful and there's a lot to explore. Summer and Blue organized all our experiences - herbal bath, motorbike rental, trekking in rice fields and fan si pan trekking - making sure we felt most comfortable and relaxed through the whole procedure, and making it super easy - guaranteeing our comfort at all times! The place itself is incredible and filled with an amazing view and super cute animals! We also had the opportunity to have several meals there, and the experience with the kitchen was memorable! Awesome food, and great service! Our only problem was that we had to leave after 3 nights - the place, vibe and people made this one of the best experiences in Vietnam so far! Thank you so much Summer, Blue, and all The Zen House staff for such good time! We hope to see you again pretty soon! With love, João and Rita

Absolutely lovely place. If you want a calm getaway in the mountains where you can feel the peace, calmness, and zen of the mountain, I would definitely recommend Zen Sapa House. The owners Blue and Summer are super kind and funny! One of my favorite stays in Vietnam 🤗

This is one of the most beautiful accommodations I have ever stayed at. The property is in an amazing location and lives up to its name! It was so peaceful and calm and the staff were so accommodating and kind. They drove our bags up to the top of the hill at the end of our stay and hugged us like we were family. They even threw in some bananas for us because we didn’t have time to eat breakfast before we had to leave! Highly recommend this stay

Perfect spot to find some rest a little away from Sapa. Beautiful sunsets, unbelievable cute dogs and kittens, very good food even with vegan options on request and insanely friendly staff.

We had the most amazing stay here! The rooms are simple but cosy and clean, the houses have a good vibe with lots of games around. Everyone hangs outside throughout the day and its very easy to strike up a conversation. Summer and Blue were super helpful and cooked the most delicious fresh food! We also did a cooking class and a 3D2N trek with Zen and both were amazing. The location is outside of Sapa town, but don’t bother staying there, in the valley you really get the best experience of Sap...

+ The facilities here and the views are AMAZING! Such a hidden gem in the village below Sapa, where you can’t see the mountain range and rice fields from Sapa centre you definitely can down here no matter the fog. The family here are so attentive and welcoming, even with a mattress warmer because it can get cold down here! The perfect retreat, and a great trek booked through the Zen House as well. Grab is available here so was easy enough to explore Sapa town when we wanted!

+ We absolutely loved our stay at the Zen House. The owners, Summer and Blue, and the rest of their team were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. Before we even arrived, Summer sent us a message with information about Sapa and the homestay. The homestay is in perfect location and distance away from town and the views are incredible. The rooms were spacious, the toilets and showers were clean, warm and powerful and the food was excellent. It says a lot about an accommodation when you are travelling that you were sad to say goodbye too! We loved how wholesome the place felt especially in the evenings and they have the cutest dogs in the entire world! We couldn’t recommend this place enough. Adam & Abi x

+ Vraiment chouette accueil, Summer & Blue sont disponibles et à l'écoute. Nous avons passé un bon moment. La nourriture est excellente (Boeuf citronnelle piment, hummm!!). La nuit, il fait frais mais dans notre chambre, nous avons eu une couette en plus et le matelas est chauffant et agréable. La vue est exceptionnelle. Elles organisent aussi des activités comme des randonnées avec une guide locale.
