It is a really crappy place! Loud music till 2.30 am, matrass was horrible you could feel the springs pointing in your back and we keep rolling towards eachother. There where a lot of flying small bugs in the room, it was dirty, the toilet didn't work. No toiletpaper and no towels. Staff was not very friendly! Worst room we... More

Stayed here for 3 nights last month. Room was clean and tidy although basic but the price reflects that. Pleasant hotel manager Mr Bloom and friendly staff. Restaurant ok, nice and clean.

I feel obligated to write a review here for Samosir Cottage, basically due to the truly unpleasant experience we had. I hope that my review will help other travellers in making better choices of accommodation in Samosir. My friends and I just got back from a visit to the beautiful and scenic Lake Toba/Samosir. Our trip was ruined by the... More

This is our first time to Lake Toba and we have decided to stay here since the boss Mr. Bloom has planned a trip for us for 2 nights at Samosir and 1 night at Berastagi. He promised to take care of everything including lodging and transportation throughout the trip as well as entrance & parking fees. Not all happened.... More

8 points why you should AVOID Samosir: ................................................................ 1. Very secluded place which is it very hard to find nice food. 2. Food is pretty expensive and not that tasty if compared to what you can have other place. 3. OVER PROMISE and UNDER DELIVER. The owner promise a lot of good things but then not happen. 4. Breakfast is... More

To summarize my experience: I would come back, as it is a good place to meet fellow travelers and the staff definitely mate the stay worth it. Even so the rooms and restaurant lack of atmosphere and quality. I was caught by a guy at the ferry, who did not stop talking about trips and the samosir cottages. I gave... More

Last week, I had ever book a standard room at samosir cottage, at the beginning I don't know there is two different place samosir cottage & samosir villa. I thought that I book at samosir villa at that time, because the recepsionist doesn't explain well enough. I asked that if the room is near the swimming pool (room at the... More

The price was ok, room was clean but there was a little problem with the hot water, the temperature couldnt maintain. The view in front of the cottage was really pretty. The person in charge (Mr. Brown or something like that, sorry, couldnt remember) was really helpful and friendly. The staff was friendly too. Enjoyed my stay. Recommended.

If you want top rate service and facilities, this is the place. We arrived at the " drop down " point right at the backyard garden of Samosir Cottages from Parapat under bad weather and rain. You know what, we were greeted by the manager of the cottage himself at the boatside with a big umbrella to shelter us and... More
