We took the suite with 500$ per night. We arrived at 1 for the check in , they told us that the room is still not ready knowing that we knew that it wasn’t used the day before. We came at 2 and when entering the room We smelled a very bed smell, i told the girl about it she told me im not smelling anything like it is coming from me 😀 we asked her please do something we will come back in 2h. We came back, nothing changed and a new staff was there. So we asked to change a suite, when we turn on the ac, we had the same problem in the new suite, we were fed up!! I was reading some reviews from years where many people mentioned the smell problem and since then nothing changed!!!!!!! With 500$ per night!!!! During breakfast, they put a 0.5 l bottle of orange juice in the buffet. So i asked the waters for more orange. After 5mn she filled the same small bottle and put it in the buffet, she asked me to fill it from the buffet where it was directly empty 😀 since another person used it 😉 so i waited again ….. instead of directly filling my glass ………

Response from Marc Tabchy, Owner at L'Auberge de la Mer
Responded 14 Aug 2022
Dear Sir, We are really sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. Concerning the check-in time, we ask our guests to come at 3pm like most hotels in order to make sure the rooms are ready and up to the expectations. We are in the busiest period of the year and fully booked during the weekends. Despite being on the old port and in the middle of summer, we take all necessary measures and precautions to avoid smells in the rooms and rarely get complaints about it. In your case, the staff reported that no bad smells were detected after your room has been properly prepped with no disrespectful intentions at all. As for the breakfast, we ensure portions are individual for sanitary reasons and freshly made available. Since we offer breakfast on a buffet, it could happen that someone served himself before you, but again the staff makes sure all guests are properly accomodated and served. We hope you will visit us again soon and we are sorry again for the inconvenience caused.

Very bad experience, not friendly at all. The rooms are not clean and the service is really bad. Unprofessional and disrespectful. It is overpriced although the location is good, all the rest is miserable. Finally, not kids friendly at all.

Dear Mrs Amatouri, We are really sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. As a boutique hotel, our main focus is making sure our staff is friendly and our guests feel welcomed and treated respectfully. We have rarely had complaints about the cleansiness of the rooms or any of the common areas. We would have hoped you were more specific in order to address the complaint in a more productive way. As for the room prices, they range from 150 to 500 usd per night depending on the room size and day of the week, hence a wide range to chose from.

Lovely hotel with just a few rooms, quiet, not very busy, very well equipped rooms with full amenities and a coffee tea station. It is comfortable, within a walking distance of everything. It's right by the port so it's a perfect location for boat trips. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend it.

I have always supported local tourism and tried to visit various places in the country whenever it is possible. I had booked a stay for my family at L'Auberge de la Mer, Batroun on the 27th of October and paid a deposit of 120$ ( in usd). Needless to say that we couldn’t make it ( because of the current situation in the country: riots, closed roads, insecurity...)and was told that the deposit was non-refundable. Anyway, i checked again today whether the deposit will still be available for a few more months for us to use when the weather improves. The answer was clear: I have till December 31st otherwise, the money is gone. I thought for a split second to book a room this weekend only to find out that the rate is still ( although we are off season) 248$ without tax and it is posted in usd!!!! How can we support local businesses? This is outrageous and shameful to say the least! I will never set foot in that place and don’t recommend it to anyone!…

Hello there... We are sorry for the late response and even more sorry you felt this way towards l'Auberge de la Mer. As we are a small boutique hotel with very limited availabilities, we have no choice but to impose non-refundable deposits. The situation we went through in Lebanon back then did not help us either, but again we had no choice but to apply this policy as people tend to abuse otherwise. We truly hope you will visit us soon. We are certain you will change your mind about us. Best regards from the whole team at l'Auberge de la Mer!

Very good boutique hotel, The rooms are very quiet and spacious. In keeping with its "boutique" spirit, the atmosphere is warmly welcoming and casual. The view from the hotel to the sea is breathtaking.

Our stay in L’auberge was just wonderful. It’s a true boutique hotel with unlimited attention to details. Impeccable clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was fantastic and all of this just to mirror the spirit of the owners with whom We struck a spontaneous conversation that turned out to be genuine, constructive and fun. Highly recommended!!

Our expectations as per the reviews & the location were really high. Sadly, only the latter was faithful; We stayed there for 2 nights; The premises are really charming; It is an old house with several rooms displayed on 2 floors with a small Jacuzzi & bar at the rooftop; The bedrooms are nice; Bathroom is separated from the room with a glass door. Beds are comfortable (yet some of them feature small beds of 160cm), staff is kind. The breakfast is good & varied in a pleasant room overlooking the sea. Yet it all ends here.. Toiletries were poor & many shower bottles were used & left for use. Some of the bathroom towels were really tired. Cleanliness was not at the top as well. Common areas were hot (No AC on) and the main issue was the air conditioning in the rooms; the first night we faced an annoying water drop sound from the AC so we changed room; Unfortunately, we faced a far worse thing in the second one. An awful smell coming from the AC duct & probably from the fish restaurant underneath. The staff did their best to put nice smell in the room & ventilate it yet it kept always coming back once the AC is on; At the end, we were in a hurry to leave the place due to the discomfort we faced in it. The lack of Lebanese generous hospitality that you usually expect in this kind of boutique hotel, the lack of reaction & professionalism to deal with clients in the presence of owners & the misguidance at the time of the booking were so deceiving that our stay turned out to be total a flop. There is a huge room for improvement in order to meet at least the expensive rates requested; Would definitely not come back.…

Amazing stay at this special hotel. First the location is great, second the staff is amazing. The owners made sure every detail in the place is being thought and taken care of. We had the sunset room as per the staff recommandation and it was great. Nice terrace access to a nice outdoor jacuzzi... Definetly worth coming back ...

We had a dinner L’Auberge de La Mer during our week stay in Lebanon in late June (so the be clear this is review of the restaurant not of the affiliated hotel). This was our best dinner in Lebanon although its price was also some 50-100pc more than we paid for similar dinners in other restaurants in the country. The restaurant is part of new upmarket hotel-restaurant building near Batroun port. It has very high end feel and its fair to say it was most attractive restaurant we saw in Lebanon outside Beirut. We had modest three meal mezze to share with some drinks. All food was excellent. I particularly liked its salad with raw tuna. We paid about $90 – in other places we paid some $40-$70 for similar oreder. The restaurant seems quite popular with middle class Lebanese customers. No surprise. I would surely dine there regularly whenever in the area.…
