"Pros: Easily accessible by Ferry from Tiga Rasa, just say where you're staying and they'll drop you there. Batak dances are held you twice a week, Saturday is you're visiting on weekends. Beautiful sunrise view by their own pier. Garden well maintained, Rooms are commendable. Staffs have a good understanding of English too , easy for travellers not familiar with local language. The pool table provided was a delight to pass some time. Free parking provided too."

"Everything is almost perfect about this hotel. There is nothing I can complaint about. The room is very clean, the garden and surrounding is nice. The bed is sooooo comfortable until I feel like I didn't want to wake out of the bed. The receptionist is friendly. This place is just perfect for whom who seeks quiet and peaceful surrounding. If I were to repeat the trip to Toba Lake, I definitely will stay again in Toba Village Inn. There was a bad experience when we were about to take a ferry from Parapat to Samosir Island. We were approached by one Batak guy when we were still on the ferry. He asked us where to stay (he works with Samosir Villa and hopes that we could follow him to check in at Samosir Villa, hence hires him as a tourist guide when we were in Samosir). When I said I'll stay at Toba Village Inn and already booked the hotel through Agoda, he suddenly get mad and angry. He said, when the tourists booked everything through the Internet, they are actually close the opportunity for the local people to get a job. He scolded me and said, "next time, don't come here at all!!!". 2 to 3 times he said such thing. And he kept on nagging about the Internet thing. I feel so furious!!! How can a local people said something like that to the tourists?? We spent our money at your place, how dare you said something rude and unwelcome words to us!! We have the right to book our hotel through Agoda or local people. It's our money anyway. Except from this incident, I'm really happy with my stay in Samosir Island."

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights. Pros: Our room was just beside the lake, with great view and nice breeze. There are some tables and chair outside the room to relax and just enjoy the lake breeze. It's just a very basic hotel and nothing much to expect from it, given that we only paid RM225(USD55) for 2 nights. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. He helped us to get a driver for a day tour around Samosir and also assisted us to book our bus transportation back to Medan. Breakfast was good, not buffet, there's a menu to choose from, offering both western and local food. Cons: There's no fan installed in the room, it can be a little stuffy and warm at night when you close the curtains. If you open them, the mosquitoes will come in. Also, the water heater is not working at times. Both our blankets and towels had stains on them. Overall, I would say it's satisfactory. Not too good and not too bad. "

"We had an awesome experience at this place. The staff was super friendly, the food was AMAZING, the rooms were clean, they let you rent motorbikes and have free kayaks too. Oh and the restaurant is amazing. Best food we had in 6 weeks of backpacking through SEA. So happy I booked this, and for a good deal on Agoda. Loved Lake Toba and especially loved Romlan. Downsides: WiFi can be a little slow, we had ants in our room, and the restaurant is not overly cheap so the bill can add up (I think we spent more on meals then on the room). Also there is no beach area, where you climb down into the water is slippery rocks that can be sharp so be careful. Stray cats can be a little annoying at the restaurant so just give them a good swat and they will leave you alone. Overall this place is great and I give them 5/5 stars. I would love to stay there again."

"Best location in Samosir. You might not think so at first but if what you crave is peace, quiet, serenity and views to die for... this is the ONLY choice. Let's not fool ourselves... nothing on Samosir represents a luxury hotel. BRING YOUR OWN wine, (+ glasses), biscuits, snacks, shampoo, slippers etc. Food served in the restaurant is OK. Best stick to their very tasty breakfast noodles rather than expecting a full-on American job. Pancakes, omelettes etc also good. Local sweet milk coffee is fab. Order the milk on the side so you can sweeten to taste. Place can feel a bit remote if shopping is your thing and you can't ride one of their motor-scooter rentals. Bur after doing all that stuff, it was a treat to come "home" to Mas. Staff were nothing but charming and cheerful. A truly MEMORABLE stay with the wife and teenage "kids". Not for young families."
