As there is no public transport system, you need to make any nearby trips by hiring taxis which the reception helps in.

Nestled in Transylvania, this restored set of Castles and the enormous estates & forest around it are a true natural paradise. Food was excellent as was the service. We stayed in one of the restored rooms of the Machine Room full of old world charm. They also have newly constructed rooms. We had wonderful bear sightings with the Ranger from the Estate

The ability of the estate’s owners, staff members and the place itself to enable an idyllic escape from our fast paced lives into a generations old lifestyle that perfectly blends both nature and beauty.

My dad was attacked by the dogs (not belonging to the property) while walking around. But I definitely understand that this is a common issue in Romania, especially in areas with pastures where shepherds’ dogs roam freely.

Booked on behlaf of my parents - based on their testimony, all was amazing. Very nice location, friendly stuff, good food and rooms are just amazing.

Classy getaway location in the midst of beautiful, wild countryside. Enjoyed the various activities on site and loved the intriguing mix of Hungarian with an Indian touch, reflecting the owners' heritage.

Definitely a place to come back to.

The pricing was a bit steep - we had to pay extra for every small thing, from using the spa to having breakfast. This was not clear when making the booking. As a result, this was a more expensive stay than we had planned.

Beautiful estate, old-fashined luxury. The staff are helpful and accommodating, the grounds beautiful, and the rooms very comfortable. The comfort of the beds and the high specification of the bathroom were a particularly highlight. Although the decor is old fashioned, this is stylised, and certainly not shabby, but instead very thoughtfully done.

A piece of paradise. We will come back for sure!

Too many dogs on the property which didn’t belong to the property apparently, making it difficult to move across freely. Lack of pool. Small stones walkway making difficult to move the bags on the wheels to the room (and damaging for the bags also) and no help provided. Staff had little knowledge about surrounding areas and attraction points. No fruits for breakfast. Black running water at some points probably due to old pipes.

Secluded magical Transylvanian castel vibes with excelent food and nice garden.

Unfortunately I had booked Zabola as I wanted to do a horse ride. This was cancelled on the morning due to the weather. Whilst it had been raining overnight, the morning itself was dry and bright, so the cancellation was disappointing. I think other riding centres would have proceeded in these weather conditions.

The room was beautiful and it had lovely touches including chocolates. The check in was quite straightforward (though you need to telephone for reception). The restaurant staff were attentive and polite, and the food was good quality. The grounds are pleasant to walk around.

usage of electronic cigarettes in the restaurant was not prohibited (or ban was not enforced).

A visit to Zabola estate will make you believe that social inequalities makes sense. You will get a glance of the slow life, tranquility and relaxation that history provided for a few. I believe the estate its one of the most beautiful domain in Romania, available for public usage, essentially it is a huge park, with multiple ponds, picnic areas, horses, sauna in the forest, etc There is an intended presence of old, of wood and squeakiness.

Breakfast was poor and it was strange to pay for water. Otherwise a pleasant stay overall

Property sorroundings, room facilities

Would have loved a more varied menu. Also, it was odd that water was not included in the breakfast (especially since our understanding was that the property has its own drinking water source).

Everything - beautiful rooms, lovely atmosphere, cleanliness, attention to details, amenities, politeness of the staff.

Location is amazing, the horses, the dogs and the vibe :) love it. Christmas and summer in same day.

Maybe the food menu could be more diverse, anyhow, everything we tasted was delicious.

Everything, absolutely wonderful location.

Not much to do

Design was special and authentic

Relaxing, great views, great rooms. Ideal for couples. The food is also very tasty

The waiter (the one with earrings) was rude; he barely greeted us when we entered the restaurant. He did not bring the menu to the table even after 10 minutes of waiting and I had to go and ask him. His answer was: do you have a reservation? - the restaurant was empty. Food is very expensive and not diverse at all. Poor breakfast and you are not informed that coffee or juice is not included - you just pay it at checkout. A lot of spider webs in every corner. If you are not careful with the fireplace and wood gets near the edge, smoke will come into the room and it will not be a pleasure to sleep.

Cosy room with fireplace

Stayed in January 2025

Nothing that we can think of

We enjoyed very much the “live at a castle” experience and the most attractive things for us was the fireplace. We adored to make the fire, hear the crackling noise and talk and laugh near it. The room was super spacious, very tidy and had everything that we needed for our stay. For sure we will be coming back, either during the summer or again during the winter, but with snow hopefully

While hiking around the propriety some dogs outside the propriety were a little bit aggressive.

Nice place to relax and recharge your batteries. The rooms are big and clean. The services are exceptional.

Stayed in January 2025

The food menu had only few options and they weren’t that tasty. The prices are too high for the quality that they offer. The waiters seem like they don’t really want to be there, no smile and 0 interaction with customers. Cleaning can be improved. There was a lost of dust on the floor,I noticed it when my toddler was playing on it. The cleaning ladies though are very nice and open to my suggestions.

I do like the location and the overall vibe and I appreciate the upgrade that they offered us. It s our 3 rd visit to Zabola Estate.

The breakfast buffet was not great. Three years ago you could choose from breakfast options and there would also be drinks included (coffee, tea etc). Now all drinks are for extra pay. One weird aspect is that on the last day of our stay there was no breakfast buffet and the same options as before were severely overpriced (double the price for the same meals as the other days of our stay). The floors in the room were squeaking. The shower head was not functioning properly. It should be changed.

Breakfasr, location and staff absolutely great.

Food menu is a bit limited there were only two types of beer at the bar, they are not pet friendly (not even if you have a very small and good dog)

I liked the room, the horse riding services for experienced riders and the spa
