BbungaThe bathing place directly on the lake is good but the rooms use fans, you can't drink bottles, the rooms smell damp, the floors are sandy, there is no room cleaning service. The price is right🙏 view the photos uploaded below
AAnonymous UserKama Hotel in Medan is a highly recommended 2-star budget hotel, particularly praised for its central location in the historic Kesawan district. It is often described as a high-value choice for travelers who want to be steps away from Medan's iconic landmarks and culinary hotspots.
Key Review Highlights

* Praised Breakfast: The buffet breakfast receives high marks for variety and taste, featuring local specialties like fried rice and traditional snacks.
* Service: Staff are frequently described as friendly and accommodating, often going out of their way to help with luggage or early morning packed breakfasts for airport runs.
* Amenities: All rooms include AC, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and private bathrooms with hot water.

* Free, high-quality WiFi in all rooms

TTing Anny TANGIf you’re looking for peace and quiet a bit away from the main town, Tuktuk Timbul is very well located. We stayed in one of their traditional-style little houses, which were very cute and charming. It’s a great spot if your plan is simply to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and do nothing much. The homestay has a restaurant (we didn’t try the food though), a pool, a ping pong table, and a billiard table — so you can easily stay entertained without leaving the property. For the price, it’s definitely good value.
That said, if you want to explore or do activities around Lake Toba, this may not be the best base. There isn’t much to do in the immediate area, and the staff weren’t very helpful when we asked for recommendations — apart from renting a scooter, they didn’t provide much guidance. Communication was also tricky as they don’t really speak English. Service felt a bit cold overall; the owners live nearby but never greeted us, which made us feel like we were disturbing them rather than being welcomed.
In summary: a good option if your goal is to switch off, relax, and stay put at the homestay itself. But if you’re looking for friendly service, local tips, or activities beyond the property, you might find it lacking.
WWILSON MINDODThe place are quite new big room & still need to improved more. No TV, no AC either fan in the room. Nice bed, nice View from the room & got more plug at the room. Just need to walk down and up the stair too much. No short cut. So far the owner was kind & helpful. TQ Penginapan Mafir.
CCZWONGI recently stayed at Cemara Asri Inn, and overall, it was a decent experience with a few highlights and areas for improvement.
What I liked:
The location is excellent — it’s right in the heart of Cemara Asri, with plenty of great food options nearby, from local street food to cozy cafés and restaurants. It’s convenient for both short stays and business trips.
What could be better:
The main downside was the cleanliness. The room and bathroom could definitely use more attention to detail — things looked a bit worn, and some areas didn’t feel as fresh or tidy as they should be.
If you’re looking for a place with a strategic location and easy access to food, this hotel is worth considering. But if cleanliness is your top priority, you may want to set your expectations accordingly.
ЕЕвгенийKeep in mind that electricity on the island is periodically turned off, for several hours (5-6 hours). Otherwise this is a great place.
Delicious and varied cuisine, excellent views, helpful staff, some rooms have a lot of ants, but it’s possible to find the best option.
Excellent entry into the lake.
TTravel ShowStaying at Collection O near Museum Pusaka Karo, formerly 3 Berastagi, is quite comfortable for a budget hotel. Its strategic location, close to the Museum Pusaka Karo, makes it easy to get around.
The rooms are clean and standard, perfect for a relaxing break. The amenities are quite complete for the price, and the staff is friendly.
Overall, it's worth it if you're looking for affordable accommodation in Berastagi 👍
GGuest UserThey charge your for the FREE airport shuttle. Such a shame as we booked this hotel only for the free shuttle! But I have already informed trip.com! In the night there were rats running around in the walls.. and our neighbour thought is is cool to play loud Indonesia music at 6am.. not the eBay stay to be honest but for one night ok
