Taman Simalem Resort

Great view, good breakfast Minus point : welcoming part need to improve, check in team need to react when see guest arrived with their lugages No tea bag or coffee in the room

amazing rooms with breathtaking views right at the top of the mountain. the weather temperature was very cold in the month of october therefore a light cardigan will be perfect to keep warm. the resort provides complimentary tours with a selection of activities at your comfort and some tours are available also for a small fee. all the attractions needs to be booked at the reception lobby.

Great location, but pretty disappointing service, and not too many amenities. The bathroom smelled pretty bad, and the water was really dirty (it came with sands and dirt). Also, the room service was very disappointing. We ordered food and it came without utensils. By the time the utensils came (30 min. later) the food was already cold. We didn’t have a pleasant stay.

Great lakeview view and location except the resort looked a little tired given the age. We had several rooms and one of them the toilet bowl could not flush. Steamboat dinner and breakfast had good varieties. Did not get to enjoy the facilities except the karaoke at night since most closed at 5pm and weekdays. Massage slots were limited.

Decided to visit Lake Toba during our Medan holiday. Car ride was arduous however we were greeted by a amazing view of the lake. Peni the guest service officer was the friendliest and most professional staff I met. She coordinated our itinerary which includes the one tree hill and the resort tour, she recommended we stop by berastagi for meals and took care of our every needs. I would like to compliment her for her work ethics and warm service. It has been a relaxing trip with the wellness activities that the resort offers.

This is amazing hotel located on the hills of Lake Toba, it takes around 4 hours from Silangit airport and 5 from Medan. If you like nature and relax away from buzzy cities this is your spot, also inside the property are plenty activities to do as you are isolated in the middle of the forest. With incredible landscapes similar to Scotland this hotel was recomended for some friends who visited few years back. Staff makes your stay unforgettable. Food options are limited to Indonesian, however inside the hotel facilites are food trucks and mini mart where you can opt for western alternatives. You need 3 days at least to annoy here actually the hotel has his own waterfalls and cliff if you are an avid trekker. Solos, families and friend will enjoy, not to much teenagers but there is karaoke in case. Internet speed is good. English wide spoken. You can book tours to samosir, berastagi and piso piso; also Tongi village, it will take few hours and I got little dizzy going down by those curved hills, But views are impressive, Also my driver was great Facilities are not 5 stars but within Indonesia impressed me!
