It's very affordable, I paid 120,000idr / room / night with lake view. Booking was done via emails, no deposit required. No fan, no aircon. It can be quite warm in the afternoon. Hot water for shower is 24hrs. Only towels are provided no other toiletries provided. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room so set your expectations right before... More

It's my second sleeping place at Samosir and I feel it's better than my previous hotel. It's location is good. Swimming spot is also good, but of course not as good as those higher rating hotels nearby. People here are all very kind and they provide wifi. They will also prodive you with accurate information regarding transportation and day tour... More

If you don't need internet connection, you may put Romlan in your list. Actually they have wifi, but when I asked for password, reception girl said it was on trouble. I don't really need internet at that time, so it didn't pay attention for that. My room just perfect, for IDR 100,000 per night I got spacious lake view room,... More

Firstly the room: I was paying less than 10 euro a night so I can't really complain too much.. I had a direct lake view and was very happy with this. The decor is dated but for that price who can argue. There was a funny smell in room and at night I had coughing fits and woke up with... More

Second time at this lovely place. This time for a month. Still the best place on the whole Island! Be aware of that: Internet is quite terrible. Yes, from time to time you will be able to send/receive text emails. But you can forget about large upload/downloads. On top of that it is not only low speed, but a lot... More

I had a very fulfilling stay here, the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was cozy, the view was breathtaking, and the food delicious. I find it extremely relaxing watching the sunrise while reading a book by the lake. There is also a direct access to the lake if you wish to swim there. Sadly, i only stayed for... More

Perfect place with a small budget and friendly staff! I've already paid for 2 nights, but we came on the second day and only stayed 1 night. But, they refund all our money. The place is clean, cozy, peaceful, private and has a private access to lake toba! The foods are delicious! And also it's very cheap! Love it here!... More

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful at Romlan - my girlfriend and I felt really welcomed and enjoyed our stay thoroughly in Tuktuk. The rooms were clean and well maintained too, and for the price we paid we only wished we could stay longer! Great view of the lake as well and a lovely experience.
