Tabo Cottages is a nice resort set in a good (and convenient) location. The staff are friendly but the food is a bit simple (and seemed to mainly vegetarian!) and the rooms could do with a bit of an update. However, it’s still a nice place on an amazing island set on a gorgeous lake. More

Lake Toba is one of the worlds super volcano craters and the surrounding countryside is amazing!! We stayed here for a few nights on our way through Indonesia and hired bikes to head all over the island/peninsula. The ferry from Parapat was very easy and drops you off on the doorstep. The only shame about this place, is the fact... More

We were 3 and stayed in Batak villa. Ambience is very nice and the idea to preserve heritage while making it modern and comfortable is great! It's also convenient to get from Parapat as the ferry brings you right to the hotel! the stuff is very friendly and responsive! the breakfast is tasty, but you have to queue. if the... More

Tabo am Lake Toba zählt definiv zu den besten Unterkünften meiner Sumatrareise. Von einem deutsch-indonesischen Paar geführt, fühlt man sich in Indonesien, jedoch durchgehen mit europäischem Standart angereichert. Unterschiedliche Zimmerkategorien von ca 200000 bis 800000 Rupiah, aber immer inklusive Frühsücksbüffet. Sauber, entspannt, direkt am See gelegen, ruhig, mit Wellnessangebot, schönem Garten und deutscher Bäckerei. Viele Paare, ältere Gäste, Flashpacker. Free... More

The cottages are very nicely built and maintained. Tabo seems to be the most succesfull Hotel on Samosir Island. At first, I had a very god impression of the german manager and owner Anette. But when I asked her to help me out with some information whilst breakfast, she told me to wait until she's finished. After 30 minutes she... More

We had a two night stay here in a really nice room. The room had a typical interior with mezzanine and a nice overlook on the bay. The restaurant/bar is very relaxing. Overall this is the place to stay when going to Samosir. More

My partner and I stayed here during a month-long Sumatran backpacking holiday, as a little treat from our typical <150 000 rp a night. We absolutely loved this place for its peaceful, clean and charming atmosphere. We wanted to stay 3 nights and hadn't made a reservation, and the resort was quite full. The owner was extremely accommodating and re-organised... More

Isn't it an achievement to get such consensus about the owner attitude? So don't go there for the owner or service, indeed it could be questionable, but honestly who cares? The place is just amazing and I haven't seen in Tuck-Tuck a better place to stay. There's enough restaurants around go and explore. However their cakes and bread is just... More

Our very first experience of Toba Cottages was the coordination of a late arrival from a very delayed flight arriving in Medan. The owner of the establishment, Annette, was incredibly helpful in coordinating with our driver and organising a late night chartered water taxi to ensure we were still able to get over the Island. It wasn't until the following... More
