“We stayed in room 5 for 2 nights in May 2025. I have given it 5 stars for the view (the photos on expedia don't do it justice, i have attached some of the view from the room), it has a balcony plus location was great, 2 minutes walk to the restaurants on the front and walkable from the Old Souks area (though there are lots of golf carts as taxis). Room was clean and modern and breakfast at Rays exceptional. I would definitely stay there again but there are a couple of things to note: the parking……
“This boutique hotel is charming from the minute you step into its garden gate. The staff is welcoming, very helpful and attentive to all our needs and more. The whole place, our room, amenities, attention to detail and the breakfast was to die for. The daily breakfast was fabulous. The sweetest lady chef and helpers prepared our omelets, fresh oregano pies, and special tea to perfection and much more. The bowl of fruits the day we arrived awaited us in our room and next day a bowl of cherries 🍒……
“I had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional 5-star hotel perched on the hills overlooking the city. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The modern architecture blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings, offering a perfect balance of style, comfort, and tranquility.
The views were simply breathtaking—panoramic scenes of the city below, especially magical at sunset. Despite being in a peaceful, elevated location, the hotel is just quick ride away from the……
“Very pleasant facilities and very helpful staff. Everything was clean and in good working condition. Beautiful view of the valley from the windowed hall outside the rooms and the open rooftop above. I was trying to take pictures in the rain and the desk attendant very helpfully provided a big umbrella and offered to hold it. Not a lot of eating places or supermarkets nearby, but there are places down the mountain a little ways.”
“I came to Lebanon for the first time to investigate rumors that alpine snowboarding exists. Charles G, the manager was quite friendly, hospitable and eager to share actionable information. I will stay here again.”

“We booked for 4 days, price including breakfast. When we arrived to the hotel they said the restaurant is closed so they can't serve breakfast.
Every time we call the reception no body answers.
No one came to clean the room, after two days of our stay the woman of the cleaning service showed up to clean, she only changed the towels. We slept on the same bed sheet for 4 days!
As for the location, the view is great, the space of the room is fair.
We expected a nicer place. ”
