Toba Lake Hotels

Greet views and good vibes. Loved the spacious, simple, lakeside rooms, and the live music jam sessions every night at the bar (with great G&T’s and bloody cold beer! )

I would not stay anywhere other than Laster Jonys on Samosir. The rooms are great quality for Samosir prices and the families running the place are just amazing people. Special shoutout to Kitty :3

Zoe’s Paradise was an incredible stay! From the pier to check-out, the staff—Yuliati, Andrew, Monica, Angel, Karma, Nova, and Luis—were warm, friendly, and made me feel right at home.

A lovely, waterfront, quaint hotel in a charming town! The wooden passenger ferry will drop off and pick up right at the hotel jetty. We had an excellent stay and look forward to staying again.

We were received with a warm welcome. The room was spacious and comfortable. Near Horas Family Home there are many small shops and restaurants.

5 out of 5!
The Horas Family guest home was warm and welcoming.
They helped us at every turn. Their Guest house is absolutely stunning right on the lake!

Stayed for 2 nights, and the reason why I picked this place over the others is because they state very clearly on their website what they offer.

We first discovered Tabo Cottages years ago, and we love coming back! The grounds, accommodation, restaurant and staff are beautiful.

Hotel Barbara is one of the lake-facing hotel at Samosir Island, Lake Toba. It is just a simple hotel with standard facilities. The building maybe looked old but well maintained.

The major plus point for me about Reggae Guesthouse is the fact that you can walk out of your room and straight in to the lake. This was lovely. I don't know if you can do that elsewhere.

Basic rooms but great staff!
Super friendly and sorted out scooters. Fantastic location close to good restaurants and right on the water. The pontoon is broken so heads up when looking at the photos.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and we had one with a lake view which was beautiful. Service was excellent too.

Spent 2 nights here. Very nice place to stay and directly on the lake shore. Booked 2 rooms for the family both were clean and maintained.

Rooms are very clean. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Views out onto the lake are stunning. The Hotel is a cute mix of different buildings. You have to be good in walking up and down stairs.

The room is very spacious that you can conduct a round-table discussion in it. It has a balcony facing the lake but the balcony lamp is not functioning.

I stayed at Tuk Tuk Timbul Bungalows from 13 to 14 June with a group of four friends, and we had a relaxing and enjoyable time. The place is very calm and chill – perfect for unwinding by the lake.

We stayed for 3 days 2 nites at 2 (side-by-side) superior bungalows. All bungalows have their own balconies & 2 rattan chairs + small coffee table.

Truly superb lake-side feel, open view to the lake and surrounding from this lake-view room on the 2nd floor.

The room is spacious and the spot is amazing, directly on the lake. Good location close to the shops and cultural activities. The food is diverse and good.

Room is very clean (including the toilet). Staffs are friendly. Very nice view straight at the lake toba. Clean and nice swimmmig pool facing the lake. Best to relax at the edge of the lake.

The place is a bit old, but we still had a comfortable stay during our trip. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
Behind the hotel is a direct view of Lake Toba, making it a great place to chill.

Aman's guesthouse has great value large rooms right on the lakefront with easy access to the water.
It is right next to the Laster Jony restaurant.

We had a very pleasant stay here. The rooms are as you can expect from the cheap prices.

We cannot judge for the accomodation but the restaurant is one of the two best we had on the island. Highlight : Vegetable tacos. Definitely 5 stars food.

Stayed here 4 months ago.
Good & affordable, clean rooms.
Played billiard & badminton there.
BBQ at night was amazing + breakfast next to the lake.

Plenty of parking, spacious rooms right on the lake with superb views. Nice pool (the kids loved it, especially since swimming in the lake wasn’t allowed — no idea why).

The rooms were simple but clean. The view was perfect and the people who worked here did everything to make our stay perfect. The food was very tasty.

We were a bit hesitant to stay here after reading all the bad reviews, but I believe all the bad reviews come from the guests who booked the old, cheaper rooms at the back.

Fabulous view of Lake from Merlyn Guesthouse in Samosir Island, especially in evening.

(+) beautiful location.
Nice pool.
Near good restaurants and convenience stores.
Nice and accommodating staff.
Comfortable bed.
(-) cannot swim in the lake here.
No hot water.

Actually it’s a very clean hotel. But if you booked online with the cheapest price.

Favorite :) good value of money. I like the room, toilet also big. There are 2 chairs and 2 others outside the room. A table (long for helping girls to make up 😉And a round table inside the room.

We chose this place at random for its price. Because it is off-season they had plenty of place and even offered us a discount so we ended up at the Agoda/Traveloka internet prices.
