The breakfast was quite robust with Asian and western options. The service was spectacular from all staff. Truly one of the best experiences we had and we will definately be back.

It’s a beautiful hotel with great helpful staff. Restaurant is good with delicious food. Pool is nice and rooms are lovely. The one disappointment is the beach that it’s on - sea wasn’t very inviting and there was quite a lot of ugly concrete fronting on to the beach.

We could not find fault with this Boutique Hotel. We were staying 14 nights for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. The hotel was beautiful peaceful but in easy reach of restaurants in the main town if you needed. We chose the breakfast only option and views in the morning were stunning. Staff were outstanding throughout and were able to deal any requests. We would recommend this hotel for any quiet retreat.

This was an amazing Boutique Resort, the views, the restaurant and ambience was amazing. We had an issue with a sewer smell in our suite, however they dealt with this efficiently and moved us into another suite. This is not the resorts fault, as it's built around nature, but the mosquitos & creepy crawlies are definitely present so be aware of this prior your stay!

The problem was that on the private beach there are many jet ski and motorboats and it is not quiet, pool is small and many kids r there, not good for a solo traveler, personel were really helpful

This hotel is quiet and gorgeous. I stayed two nights and didn’t leave the property due to personal circumstances but it is close enough to Fisherman’s village to get some local flavor. Or really hospitable to walking around and exploring without a taxi to somewhere. Two nights is probably enough to experience this and then move on to another part of the island for variety.

I booked for 10 nights but only stayed for 5 due to an incident and the hotel was good enough to organise a refund for the balance of the nights not stayed which was appreciated. I highly recommend staying beachfront in villa 1 as the sunrise over the ocean is incredible.

A Spectacular and Fantastic Stay at Zazen!
Our stay at Zazen in Bophut was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were met with exceptional service that made us feel truly welcome. The surroundings were absolutely stunning, with lush gardens and a peaceful atmosphere that added to the charm of the hotel.
The food was delicious, with a great selection of high-quality dishes that impressed us every time. On top of that, the entire place was beautifully designed, with an aesthetic that made the experience even more special.
We truly felt that we got great value for money and would highly recommend Zazen to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable stay on Koh Samui. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful settings, nice pool, very good pool beds, excellent service, delicious food.
The only downside was the availability of pool beds. The hotel allows guests to reserve beds early in the morning by placing towels on them, even if they leave and return hours later. This practice left other guests without a place to relax by the pool.

We had an amazing four-day stay at Zazen Boutique Resort in Koh Samui. The cabins were spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a cozy sofa area where we enjoyed Netflix in the evenings. The food was exceptional, especially the Thai dishes—we loved the Massaman curry, morning glory, tamarind prawns, and Panang curry. The buffet breakfast offered a great selection as well. The pool area was stunning, with comfortable day beds perfect for relaxing. We also had a wonderful experience at the spa, where we enjoyed our first Thai massage of the trip. In the evenings, we often played pool and explored Fisherman’s Village for food and massages. Renting a bike is the best way to explore the island. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. With its beachfront location and excellent service, Zazen was the perfect getaway—we’ll definitely be back!

We chose to stay here as we have been to the restaurant many times before it was renovated and the food was always superb. However, I’m afraid that is not the case anymore. The food was mediocre and nothing to rave about. The bar guys didn’t know how to make cocktails even though they were on the menu. I asked for a Bloody Mary and after 5 minutes of faffing around and trying to work out to make it, I cancelled it and ordered a coke.
The floor the the restaurant is filthy and we had 6 breakfasts here and the same food was still on the floor and dirt marks for all of the 6 days.
Room was beautiful and very clean and very happy with the room.
Doubt I will return.
Also in their brochure it says the hotel is aimed at influencers and I don’t want to be surrounded by people keep taking photos and only buying an orange juice.

Villa was lovely, it was well cleaned every day and the air con was great. It was good with the sofas outside and nice to have plenty of space.
However, the beds were so soft, anyone with back troubles will not enjoy, mine isn’t bad but I was in agony by the 8th night of the stay. The noise from the birds and animals all night and at dawn is loud, we take a white noise machine with us and even at its loudest, we could still hear them. Obviously, being in nature is amazing but just warning you to bring a white noise machine or ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper!
Staff were very friendly, always courteous and helpful and spa staff and massages were good
Things which were frustrating;
Pool area was small and you couldn’t move the beds easily so ended up not being able to sunbathe very easily. It’s seems to strange to have such a big place yet such a small pool and sunbathing area.
Influencers constantly taking photos, everywhere. You’d trip over them any time you moved in public spaces and it’s hard work. Again, understand the hotel wanting publicity but it’s hard work if you’re staying here.
Breakfast staff were very friendly but I think we they only got the order right once out of the 8 breakfasts we got. Again, they would put it right when you asked them but most didn’t write the order down and it became a running joke. Staff were slow in general and one breakfast we waited 15-minutes just to get some tea. Again, not a deal breaker but be prepared to be patient.
