A recently renovated guest house set in Tuk Tuk, Hub Tata Guesthouse features a garden. The property features lake views. In good weather, guests are welcome to sit outside.

At the guest house, each unit comes with a desk. Featuring a private bathroom, units at the guest house also provide guests with free WiFi, while certain rooms will provide you with a terrace. The location is beautiful, right on the shore of the lake with a lovely view. There's an on-site cafe that serves good breakfasts, and the coffee is great too. Our room was clean and comfortable. They also offer scooter rentals and a laundry service, which is very convenient. The staff was excellent, and I want to give a special mention to Mr. Rahman, who was incredibly kind. Highly recommended!

All units in the guest house are equipped with a kettle. With a private bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also feature free WiFi, while some rooms are fitted with a balcony. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. Our three-night stay at Matraville Homestay was a very welcome change-of-pace after jungle treks and volcano hikes in Bukit Lawang and Berestagi. Our unit was VERY large (it would have easily suited a family of four) and well-appointed with a TV, fridge, sink and kettle for use. It was also spread over two levels, with the downstairs serving as the entrance/living room area/kitchenette, and the bedroom and bathroom/separate shower area upstairs. BONUS(ES): the unit entrance featured a little patio with a table and chair where you could have an early-morning coffee or tea while facing the sunrise; the upstairs level also provided a small balcony area to take in the morning sun or evening dusk. While the room we chose was across the street from the water (a 90-second walk at most, down a couple of shallow flights of steps, and therefore didn’t provide a direct waterfront view), there are two rooms available in another portion of the property that face the water and are just steps from it. Our excellent Host, Dimmer, picked us up from the Tuk Tuk ferry landing (and can also drop you off when you depart) and will provide you with everything you might need to make your stay comfortable, including tips on places to eat or have coffee nearby and suggestions for what to do/see on Samosir Island. He will also provide scooters for daily/multi-day use for very reasonable rates.

Marbun is located in Tuk Tuk and offers a terrace and a bar. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

The property offers mountain views.

Breakfast is available, and includes à la carte, continental and Asian options. The location, the host, the room, the balcony, everything. Walking distance to everything, on the main road but still quiet, love the quiet morning view from the balcony. They have a restaurant downstairs, good and affordable food. The best for the price.

Set in Tuk Tuk, Vandu's View Guest house & Restaurant offers accommodation with seating area. There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Every room includes a balcony with lake views.

All units in the guest house are equipped with a kettle. A terrace with mountain views is offered in every unit. The units feature a private bathroom, free toiletries and bed linen. Everything was excellent! Best thing about this hotel are the views. Once you open the door of your room, you’re greeted by an impressive view of Lake Toba. It appears to be a new hotel, so the room and furnishings were new and clean. Location was fantastic as well. The hotel is right next to the water, so the ferry from Parapat can drop you off right at the hotel pier and pick you up from the same place. There are great restaurants nearby. I strongly recommend Coffee 2 Go across the street for breakfast and coffee, and Rosalie’s Beer Garden and Restaurant a 5-min walk away for lunch and dinner. Staff is friendly and helpful, though not all of them speak English.

Set in Tuk Tuk, Juma cottages offers accommodation with an outdoor pool and a garden. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking.

All units in the guest house are fitted with a kettle. Some units feature a terrace and/or a balcony with lake views. The units at the guest house come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower. I liked everything. The first of many positives was the owner coming to pick me up at the dock. He came back because I had a big suitcase. After spending one night at Juma Cottages, I extended my booking for one more week. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of Lake Toba. I strongly recommend Juma to anyone.

Situated in Tuk Tuk in the Sumatra region, Leokap Homestay has a balcony and lake views. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge.

Guests can take in the views of the mountain from the terrace, which also has outdoor furniture. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. The hostess speaks excellent English and was very helpful. She assisted me in arranging for a motorcycle tour of Lake Toba, given that there isn't any public transport. She also offers a value-for-money breakfast set with excellent nasi goreng.
