Blue Marlin Beach House

This is not your typical hotel. It's a guest house. The keys are accessed by pin code. There is no reception and no one to greet you and no one to bother you. Having said that, the rooms are so very cute. Decoration is quaint and rustic. The location is absolutely perfect, a walking distance from bahsa beach and all the lovely dining spots. The rooms are noisy, it's an old house, but honestly it's worth it. Breakfast was typical lebanese. The rooms have coffee machines, kettle, drinking water, tea coffee cups… parking is around 4 minutes walk, the hotel does not have its own parking.

I absolutely loved staying at Blue Marlin. Location, location, location is less than a few minutes away from everything. Plus the place itself has so much nostalgia and character. They pay special attention to every single detail. I can’t wait to go back next year. Rita was also very helpful in answering all your questions in a timely manner.

I absolutely fell in love with Blue Marlin Batroun. From the moment you walk in, the aesthetic, the atmosphere, and the traditional Lebanese boho style create such a fresh, relaxing, and beautiful vibe. The scent of jasmine welcomes you and instantly makes the place feel magical.
The room was spotless. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the sheets smelled absolutely heavenly. I also loved that the room had its own mini kitchen with a gas stove, and the air conditioning worked perfectly throughout our stay.
The view from our room was stunning, and the location couldn’t be better if you enjoy strolling through Batroun’s charming streets, cafés, and old town. Everything is within walking distance, making it the perfect place to stay.
There were only a few downsides during our visit. The first morning, our breakfast was forgotten even though our reservation included bed and breakfast. While the staff addressed it, I found this a bit unprofessional. I also felt that the breakfast itself was quite basic and didn’t really match the quality or price of the accommodation. Given the overall standard of the place, I think a more generous and thoughtfully curated breakfast would make the experience even better. The second issue was that the shower water temperature was difficult to regulate, constantly shifting between hot and cold, which definitely needs attention.
Aside from these points, everything was exceptional.

We spent 2 wonderful nights at Blue Marlin. The rooms were very comfortable and each room is decorated uniquely and tastefully. The staff were all super attentive and the manager, Rita, made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Batroun. Highly recommend.

Booking, check in and out was seamless.
Clean rooms.
Nice breakfast.
Thanks to Rita.

It was all wow! It was a great experience for all of us. The location and the room details were perfect, the service was excellent, and the staff were very helpful, the place were so safe.

Perfect location and perfect accommodation we had. My son and I both had 2 separate rooms and with family room, kitchen, bathroom. The unit is totally clean and pleasant. It had very nice character and authentic feeling. I would definitely go back to the same place for longer time.
We only stayed 6 days. Rita was great communicator and very helpful in so many ways. Thank you for making our stay in Batroun so pleasant.

I never expected the place I booked to be this incredible. The location is amazing, the apartment is superb, and everything exceeded my expectations. Truly the best place I’ve ever stayed in Lebanon, and I don’t think I’ll ever find anything even close to it. Highly recommended.

We rented the Blue Bird apartment for one week night in October and we were so pleased with the whole experience, from the booking to the check-out. Rita, whom we communicated with, was so professional, responsive and helpful. The location is great: right by the water and a few minutes from major attractions, like restaurants, shows and beaches. The apartment itself was so charming and clean. The breakfast was a traditional and generous Lebanese breakfast and very tasty. Highly recommend Blue Marlin and will definitely go back on my next visit to Batroun.

We reserved luckily with free cancellation through the agent but as we were in the area we wanted to see it. The photographs on here are much better than it is. Very old, dark and not at all welcoming. We tried to enter the main area but were told to go away by ethiopean cleaner in poor english. She would not let us in or visit the rooms. Well it is clear to say there is hardly any effort and we were very concerned we'll regret. Breakfast (whatever it might be) only in the room!

I loved the vibe of the room. Our room has huge balcony covered with Ivy and looking to a big tree. When the wind is slighty moving all the branch of Ivys and the sound of the birds really helps you to experience the peace and serenity of Batroun. We visitied in September it was quite around. After 12 the electricity is gone for a while but there is a generator so it is fine. The breakfast was nice, it felt like you visited your old auntie for breakfast.

The Blue Marlin in Batroun was an amazing place to stay for the weekend. The location can’t be beat as it’s within walking distance to everything you need: shops, restaurants and the beach. The aesthetic of the hotel is amazing, it feels like stepping back in time. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the one we stayed in had an amazing view of the water.

Amazing guest house, warm ambiance, lovely clean room, and a stunning terrace where I hosted friends for an evening. From my bed, the sea view and the sunset were simply unforgettable.
I wish I could stay more than 2 nights, but definitely I will be back soon.
Highly recommended for relaxation and meditation.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere perfectly combined comfort and elegance. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service was fast and professional. The staff were always welcoming with genuine smiles, which made me feel truly cared for. The location is excellent and convenient for everything I needed. Thank you to the hotel management for such a great experience — I will definitely come back and highly recommend it. ” 🌟

Staying at this beautiful gem guest house in Batroun was nothing short of magical. The house itself is full of charm — traditional stone walls, arched windows, and thoughtful touches that make you feel both at home and transported into Batroun’s history.
The room is bright, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, blending authenticity with modern comfort. Every detail feels curated with love, from the cozy linens to the little corners filled with local art and crafts.
The outdoor spaces are just as enchanting: a peaceful garden to enjoy your morning coffee. The location is perfect too — just a short walk to Batroun’s old souk, sandy beaches, and lively cafés.
What makes this guest house truly unforgettable, though, is the atmosphere. It’s not just a place to stay; it feels like an experience of Lebanon’s soul — warm, generous, and timeless.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended for anyone visiting Batroun who wants to live a genuine and beautiful Lebanese experience.

We had a great time at Blue Marlin! The view from our room was a direct shot of the beach. Everything was clean, and the breakfast was delicious.

We had such a great time that we’ve already booked our next stay. The Haddad Family 🤍
