ZEN BY THE LAKE IS ON Google & GOOGLE MAPS
EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Faiqa Asad08/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our stay at Zen by the Lake was a dream vacation. The hotel is beautifully constructed, complete in harmony with the nature and its surroundings. The owners have put their heart and soul in this hotel, and this is reflected in the way they have paid attention to the smallest details in each and every corner of the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Located at the gorgeous Attabad Lake and nestled between majestic mountains, the hotel offers beautiful views so that we were content to spend a whole day at the hotel, simply enjoying the view. The other days, we went to see the Passau Cones, Hassan Bridge, and the Hunza City. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning their stay at Attabad Lake. Mahnocean05/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Zen By The Lake was just fabulous! 😌🤍 The mountainous views were gorgeous, the hosts were friendly and had such intriguing stories to tell, the service was top-notch, and the overall 'zen' atmosphere really instilled a peace inside me that I hadn't experienced anywhere else before. When I walked around the resort, I could notice the little details; how each stone was hand-carved, the choice of art for the rooms, the interior design. All of these elements really made me feel as though a lot of thought and love went into designing the resort. When we were leaving Zen By The Lake, it felt as though I left a piece of my heart there. Definitely a spot I hope to come again and again to soon inshaAllah, and I highly recommend it to everyone else who hasn't experienced a stay with them yet! Warda Arshad26/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This reciew was long due. We stumbled upon this place in a quest to stay at Luxus but to our benefit (which back them felt like a heart break) was fully booked. In search of a place, to rest a little we were ready to accept whatever options were left. Little did we know that we will end up at the most luxurious hotel in Hunza. The attention to detail is phenomenal. The architecture of this place is something you wouldn't find in many 4 star hotels. The built is innovative making great use of whatever land they have. The hotel SCREAMS minimalistic yet luxury at the same time. Whoever came with that combination is a genius. We were 2 adults (my husband and I) and 2 toddlers. But it truly felt like the most perfect blend of a honeymoon yet family vacation only because of our stay at zen by the lake. Forever thankful to the people that fully booked luxus so we could experience Zen !!! The staff and the owners are extremely humble and aim to provide personalised care/service to each of their guests, catering to every single need possible. Feels like a home away from home. Hammad Burney23/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing place with breathtaking views of Attabad lake. The way this resort blends with nature makes it very unique. Pictures don't do justice with the place, it's a must visit for anyone visiting the area. Rooms are extremely comfortable and staff is very hospitable. Hope to visit again soon! Csaba Páli21/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an avid traveller coming from Europe who stayed in many many locations previously I can honestly say that this is one of the best locations I ever stayed. The rooms were top notch, clean, tidy and modern. The view from the rooms to Attabad lake is just unimaginably gorgeous. The staff does an amazing job to keep the things going! The food was also very good (and safe for my european stomach). Overall, if you are in the area and you want some proper luxurious vibes and sleep with an amazing view, this is your place to stay! Big kudos to the owners who created this place! Umar Pirzada20/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the privilege to visit Zen by the Lake a few weeks back with my family and found it as one of the best vacations for all of us. Firstly the natural environment, the beautiful scenery, the colour of the sky and the water, snow-topped, green & brown mountains in the same picture, just amazing. It genuinely felt 'Zen' & "By the Lake". Secondly, the hosts, Rabia & Tanvir who are also the owners of the resort are on site. Their story itself is an amazingly inspiring one on how they found a calling to give up their corporate lives and build this place. Considering, they live on the premises, they were on top of all of the services and we received a high quality and timely support for everything that me and my family wanted to do from food to excursions to any other kind of transporation requirements. We took the flight to ISB and drove in a rent a car to and back which they helped arrange for us. The drive going through Naran & Kaghan valley is also mesmerizing, Pakistan is blessed with this natural beauty of rivers and mountains. Finally, the premises itself, felt premium all the way. The rooms, the cleanliness, the design, the stone & marble work, it felt like they had build their own home and now allowed guests to stay in it. As a family we got 2 rooms, Ground & First Floor which allowed me & my wife to be close to our 3 kids who took the Ground Floor. I wouldn't even think of trying any other place to stay whenever I go to Hunza Nagar next and surely we will be visiting again soon, In'sha'Allah. Ifra Asad13/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely exquisite place. For the price we paid, we got way more. The rooms were spotless and decor spot on, the staff was friendly and the owners Rabia and Tanvir went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The experience of having our own mini suites, separated from others, overlooking the most majestic view, in this place all to ourselves…I could have spent weeks there. Cannot recommend it more. Dr. Hassan Pervez03/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spectacular & memorable place! We stayed at Zen by the lake with our family last month. The experience is beyond words. Besides the scenic location, the homely environment, privacy, food, service and the ambiance was awesome. We have lived in Denver (Colorado) and had vacations at Aspen & Vail, but this place has really left a remarkable impression on us. The administration has given close personal attention to the details, which was appreciated. Bilal Khan20/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! The thought that has gone into building the property is absolutely amazing. Fantastic views, great service, great food. Make this your next destination for Vacation or simply just to detox.
