Sir El Danniyeh Hotels from S$72

"We flew in from New York City in mid-August during a heat wave. If you are looking to escape the oppressive heat of summer and spend some time in a beautiful mountain setting with crisp fresh air with stunning views, you will enjoy your stay here. This large guest house is owned by a lovely family who was on site for our entire stay and very attentive to our needs. The staff, Mr. Mohamed, was a star and ensured we were taken care of our entire stay. They would not allow us to lift a finger, or even enter the kitchen for ourselves. We stayed up late, wrapped up in blankets, to enjoy the fresh mountain air and stars. Breakfast was a delicious and perfectly served outside with the gorgeous view. Don’t forget to explore the home with art and history in every corner, and check out the on campus soap shop!"

"Fantastic little gem ! First the location is very accessible in Cheka … very close to batroun and short drive to Tripoli. 3 min off the highway. Staff is super friendly and the bungalows are super clean and very cute. Breakfast was included and it’s very good. The pool is worm and very clean. The kids didn’t want to leave. The terrace is shared so expect sometimes to see a table here or there of people eating breakfast or lunch or even dinner but never busy. The pool is shared between the two bungalows. The bungalows has one room with king size bed .. one room with two twin beds and the sofa can be opened and fits one. We loved it we would stay again. The staff is amazing "

"I sat down my clothing out of my bag to put them away for the night and when I went back to grab them, there was bedbugs all over my clothing."

"We stayed at this property for 10 days and was offered the room in the village and was in walking distance to the beach and salt water pool. The room that we were initially placed in was very spacious with a loungeroom and contained sandstone feature walls and ceilings which were not sealed and bits of sandstone was falling everywhere including on the bed, floor and on the lounge. After informing the property manager (Rola) about this, she was happy to move us to the room next door. This also had feature walls and ceilings but there was not one over the bed however the dust was still falling from the ceiling but not as bad as the other room. We received breakfast in our room every morning at whatever time we nominated which consisted of boiled eggs, labneh, cucumber sticks, olives, bread rolls and manoush. This was very filling and kept us full for most of the day. Room was very spacious with a loungeroom and TV, room was cleaned every day with fresh towels, bottled water replenished daily, a fridge and coffee machine in the room. Rola was very friendly and happy to attend promptly to anything we needed and asked for. I would recommend this property however the only thing I was disappointed with was the falling bits of sandstone from the ceiling. They need to fix this problem."

"Unbeatable views and very helpful staff, breakfast buffet is huge served on a nice shady terrace "

"A quiet and a safe place. The owner and the guy who works there are so nice and polite. I recommend staying there and I myself will book there for a few days later this month."

"It was good, will recommend anyone to go and stay there, cool staff specially Josette, just a helpful lady "
