Hotel needs a little more upgrades. Small hotel overall. However the staff were fabulous! Very pleasant and welcoming and overall nice people! ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kell 18 Jun 2025 Absolutely phenomenal!! Staff was amazing from the moment we got there until our departure. Definitely plan to stay again. Only concerns we had (but did not affect our stay): 1) When we got breakfast with 5 ppl vs 4 ppl, one person’s meal was always forgotten and they had to wait an extra 10-15 min to get their food; 2) My family prefers breakfast buffets, but I loved their breakfast menu ##### Kell Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynne 22 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Bamboo walk is amazing, and the staff is happy to help arrange for rides to different areas of the island and/or a scooter rentals for the day. ##### Lynne Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Taeyong 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The fantastic sunset view resort The reason why I select North Zen Villas is able to see a beuatiful mangrove woods. It was fantastic sunset when I've seen before. Also, the service quality is perfect. The employees always show big smiles. ##### Taeyong Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### robert 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our family of grandparents, parents and grandchildren stayed for 4 nights at North Zen Villas in December 2024\.

Would be back for sure. ##### May Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie APRIL 28 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### North Zen Hotel We love the rooms and the hotel itself with all the amenities around like the Mangroove, the big nice pool and the restaurant. Services are great, food is not the best for me because mostly are healthy, but for all, it was great!!! Crews were so courteous and they cleaned our room every day. Rooms were clean and smells great. I love this hotel. ##### Marie APRIL Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingrid 10 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, clean, relaxing, well-designed resort. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was great to have on-site, however, the service was very slow. Even when food was preordered for a certain time, we still had to wait for it for about 45 minutes. ##### Ingrid Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kiana 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was amazing. They really helped us to feel safe and comfortable while lodging there. The food was 10/10 as well. It's a smaller size resort which is nice if you prefer the quiet. I highly recommend staying here. However as for exploring the surrounding area, it did not feel like a very walkable environment outside the resort. You need to set up transportation or rent a motorbike. They have both options at the resort and even the option to rent a tuk tuk instead of your average car. BONUS - Best happy hour in the world !!! ##### Kiana Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin Emma Therese 3 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Peaceful and amazing hotel We had a wonderful time at North Zen villas, we enjoyed that it was quiet and peaceful. Good service, the staff are very nice and helpful. Big and wonderful pool area with sunbeds. Food was very delicious, and the food decoration were amazing. The opportunity to find restaurants in Doljo is poor. But it is easy to grab a TukTuk/tricykle whenever you want to go somewhere else like Alona Beach. Had one massage at the hotel, can highly recommend. Super!! The bambu walk to sunset is very cool and beautiful, and they have a bar out there to. Can highly recommend this hotel// Therese & Anders ##### Kristin Emma Therese Stayed 15 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 12 Jan 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful setting The hotel was beautiful although not quite ‘zen’ as the name suggests. The hotel seemed to have a deal with tour groups so there was constant bus loads of tourist groups coming through which turned the bar into a bubbling tourist spot with people pushing and shoving your tables and drinks rather than a relaxing place to enjoy your drink as the sun went down. Seems like the hotel needs to work on their zen vibe. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable beds and a good size. Cleanliness was ok but inconsistent, once our door was left open which was a security risk especially because of the sheer volume of non-guests staying there! Food was mainly good although issues with meat in food despite informing them of vegetarian diets. You have to prebook the breakfast in the morning so they can have the food ready for you but a few times we came in the morning and had to wait over half an hour for our breakfast - no apologies. It was a very inconsistent service! Bar staff at the pool had good consistent customer service. There was one lady at the reception that was always friendly and worked really hard to resolve problems, so we appreciate her help a lot! The manager was also very helpful and accommodating so thank you to her! ##### Anna Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### The Mangrove Walk Is Great We were comfortable at Zen Villas, and the staff was very nice and willing to help us with whenever we needed. The hotel seems to cater more to families than those looking for romance. There's a great pool, but there were a lot of kids playing in the pool when we were there. At nighttime, you could usually relax at the pool in a more quiet atmosphere, for exercise or romance. Overall, the hotel is quiet, and the live music on the weekends was really excellent. We loved walking on the mangrove walk. That's a really nice feature of the hotel. The bed was comfortable but the chair in the room was easy for sitting and you have to take a shower really carefully to not splash water all over the floor. My suite had a nice little kitchen and refrigerator, which was great. The restaurant was okay, but they'ed bring breakfast to your room and breakfasts were really good. The restaurant had some tasty dishes but we were disappointed that there wasn't more local food to try and no fresh fish. A fresh fish of the day dish would have been nice. We liked staying at Zen Villas for a few days and would recommend it. Bohol is a great place to explore. We're glad we went there and loved seeing the Tarsiers at the official conservation center. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Gerard 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Best hotel I had been ##### Mark Gerard Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Eco-friendly hotel with spacious rooms.

Staff very friendly and reliable, never a hesitation w every request or inquiry. Peter and Missy(?) from the restaurant side were excellent; Jayne from front desk was knowledgeable and attentive. Hotel also allows use of amenities at Oceanica, a sister hotel. Use Xpedia for experiences/adventures though to save. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/de9ac4c0-a204-440d-b280-f93a90abe828-1749253727894.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/386aa4e8-99d2-43fb-9037-df7befdd9f23-1749253727564.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monika 5 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Great, lovely place to stay for vacations.

The walkway through the mangroves is definitely a must see. Unfortunately, we came during the monsoon season so it was raining most of the time. The rooms were tastefully decorated and they have exceptional staff. All together our stay was quite pleasant. ##### Maria Augustina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jovelyn 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay. The room was great and the staff was very helpful. Loved the peaceful and relaxing environment with the ability to get to all the beaches with relative ease. The breakfasts were something we looked forward to every day. We would recommend going there for anyone who ever asked us. 10/10 ##### Jovelyn ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Playa de las Americas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-De-Las-Americas-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d182363-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cauayan Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Cauayan-Island-Resort.h12696876.Hotel-Information) > > [Miniloc Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Miniloc-Island-Resort.h4333673.Hotel-Information) > > [Siargao Island Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/General-Luna-Hotels-Siargao-Island-Villas.h19384669.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Cabanas Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Las-Cabanas-Beach-Resort.h19677229.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakawon Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cadiz-City-Hotels-Lakawon-Island-Resort.h48718784.Hotel-Information) > > [Campuestohan Highland Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Talisay-Hotels-Campuestohan-Highland-Resort.h35238602.Hotel-Information) > > [NYX Hotel London Holborn by Leonardo Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NYX-Hotel-London-Holborn-By-Leonardo-Hotels.h579374.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Hotel Mactan Cebu near Newtown Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Savoy-Hotel-Mactan-Newtown.h41903828.Hotel-Information) > > [Alkion Hotel Sidari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Alkion-Hotel.h13171121.Hotel-Information) > > [Flory's Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liloan-Hotels-Florys-Inn.h15435100.Hotel-Information) > > [Crystal Sunset Pearl Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Side-Hotels-Crystal-Sunset-Luxury-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h8125448.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Shangri-La-Mactan.h190534.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marsden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marsden-Hotels.d6055482.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aureo La Union](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Fernando-Hotels-Aureo-La-Union.h16099636.Hotel-Information) > > [Henann Resort Alona Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Panglao-Hotels-Henann-Resort-Alona-Beach.h4521273.Hotel-Information) > > [Angkla Beach Club & Boutique Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Angkla-Beach-Club-Boutique-Resort.h53579088.Hotel-Information) > > [Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lapu-Lapu-Hotels-Movenpick-Hotel-Mactan-Island-Cebu.h1192069.Hotel-Information) > > [TravelodgeUK Hotels in Canary Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canary-Wharf-London-Hotels-Travelodge-UK.0-n179523-0--bTravelodgeUK.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pangulasian Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Nido-Hotels-Pangulasian-Island-Resort.h6416866.Hotel-Information) > > [Caravan Parks Ayr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Caravan-Parks.d5583-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels near Barry Island Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barry-Island-Beach-Hotels.0-l6086531-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Poseidonia Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limassol-Hotels-Poseidonia-Beach-Hotel.h1203714.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Packages > [Bora Bora Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bora-Bora.d602861.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
