Baffa House

A truly special stay! Baffa House is full of charm, calm, and thoughtful details. Every corner tells a story, and the atmosphere feels like home. The family was welcoming, and the space is beautifully curated. A peaceful gem in the heart of Beirut, highly recommended!

Thank you for the wonderful experience I had during my two-night stay at your family guesthouse. It was truly a different and memorable experience for me. I enjoyed every single detail — from the warm atmosphere of the house to the thoughtful touches that made my stay so special. I deeply appreciate the kindness and hospitality I received. A special thanks as well to the talented young Artist , whose contributions made my visit even more delightful. I hope to return someday and will surely recommend your guest house to my friends and family. Warm regards, Haya

A home away from home! a cozy and welcoming guesthouse in the heart of Beirut...great hospitality, central location and a beautiful interior with inspiring artworks, enjoyed every second of my stay, looking forward to my next visit!

I came to Beirut by my own and stayed in Baffa House for 4 nights. It was a great experience! The location is great, close to many bars and restaurants. Sam is super kind and supported me with the booking of transportation to the airport and gave me very good recommendations on local shops. Breakfast was great. I truly recommend the experience here!

What a stunning guest home ! From the house itself (Bauhaus style with flowery tree) to the neighbourhood, the thoughtful design of the house and the rooms to finally the hosts ! The warm Lebanese hospitality at its best with a spotless clean room and kitchen - thanks Sam and family for those days there and looking forward to being back !

We stayed in Samer's beautiful guesthouse for seven days in early June, and used it as the home-base for our week in Lebanon. We HIGHLY recommend staying here! We echo what many of the other reviews say - this is a gem of a house. ||The guesthouse is well-located near many charming restaurants & cafes and by the very popular/trendy Mar Mikhael area which was bustling with people throughout our stay. We were able to easily walk to many of the city's highlights from Baffa House, including the Sursock Museum and downtown, and for the few times we couldn't walk, either Samer helped us get a taxi or we simply ordered an Uber. Some of our favorite restaurants were Em Sharif Cafe, Kalei Coffee, Boubouffe, Hanamitri, Liza, and M. Sahyoun -- and we were able to walk to all of them from Baffa House.||We stayed in the blue room, which was spacious, tidy, and artistically decorated. Speaking of, the art & decor in Baffa House is one of the highlights, especially the art by Samer's aunt. ||We also loved the traditional Lebanese breakfast that Samer and his wife prepared everyday (especially Jessica's sfouf cake!). ||Samer was an excellent host, and always extremely helpful & generous with his insight & suggestions. He even connected us with an extraordinary guide (Fady), and helped arrange for our taxi from the airport. ||Electricity, A/C, wifi were all great and available throughout our stay. We felt safe throughout our travels in Beirut and Lebanon (Tripoli, Byblos, Baalbeck, Tyre, Sidon, Batroun) and ended up using USD to navigate our stay with no issues (only a few government-run museums required Lebanese lira, and it was easy to exchange USD). ||We had a wonderful time in Lebanon and were really happy with our decision to stay at Baffa House for the duration of our seven days while we took day trips to explore the country.

Baffahouse is a real gem and one of the highlights of my Lebanon trip. |I feel so lucky to have found this place. |Samer and his family make it such a special place - with their hospitality, their love for art & design, their delicious homemade breakfast and their great advice. With only 4 guest rooms, a spacious living room and two balconies it feels like sharing a house with likeminded people who are open to different cultures and like art and nature. |I look forward to coming back soon. |Merci Sam, Jessica and everyone involved in making the stay pleasant.

We had an amazing experience at Baffa House. It felt like being guests at the home of a good friend. Every morning Sam's mother made breakfast for us. We are new to Lebanon, so she explained all the dishes and taught us how to eat them. Baffa house is surrounded by many excellent restaurants and vibrant night life, all within walking distance.
