A great place for a short getaway or even a longer stay. Love it's tranquility. Most of the rooms are a few steps away from the lake. Restaurant served a variety of western and local food with good price.

Favorite on Toba”

My fifth trip to beautiful Lake Toba, and this is easily the best place I've stayed. Great mattress, wonderful views, hot water, lots of plants, and the food--I feel like I'm in heaven. All fresh, natural ingredients, homemade happiness, great prices, served with smiles. Its not just the best place to stay, its also the best place to eat. Enjoy!

Romlan's plus n minus points”

Plus 1. Very affordable rate 2. Very clean 3. Very good location 4. Wifi okay 5. Very friendly and helpful staff Minus No car park You park your car in their neighbor's place which has very steep access road and you also have to pay extra money . Front office is open at 7 so book rooms excluding breakfast (as I unintentionally did) if you want to catch the 7 o'clock ferry. Despite the low room rate , they manage to render you all the pluses above. Bravo

The best”

My room has the most spectacular view facing the lake. You can use the kayak for free. You can dip your body in the lake. The lake is so clear u can see the bottom. Bike rent was 100k idr per day. Near to jetty (approx 300m) to catch the earliest boat ride to parapat. But you can always opt for a boat pickup in front if the hotel. Wifi connection was very fast. Staff was friendly. The room has no fan nor aircond but the weather was chill so no fan needed. Bear in mind there was bo tv provided but who needs tv when u have all the view in front of you. One tiny little thing, the downside was fhe hot water. But I'm not complaining. That was nothing compared to the view and the price I paid. Totally recommended. And will surely come again.

Great location; friendly and nice staffs”

I really like staying at Romlan. The room is clean, the view is awesome as we can lie down on the chair and feel the wind from Toba Lake. The food in the guesthouse is awesom with reasonable price. The staff named Rahmat is very nice. We rent the motorbike and also pay for him to ride us to every places in Samosir. He took us to nice places even they are not included in the schedule, let us try very good food. He even waked up early to take us to the ferry without any charges. Recommend you guys to stay here.

Completely worthy to stay and Glad I chose this resort”

The ferry drops you directly at Romlan, We stayed in traditional batak house , its a twin floor house each floor has a separate small entry door which you need to bend in and go inside. Room is simple , but just lights , No fan provided. Toilet and bathroom are outside house (not attached) No hot shower available. But I guess the other room options except Batak house has all the facilities. So call back Romlan before you book. Abit noisy from nearby hotel, songs/music playing till 11PM. Cleanliness is good, Location is perfect with lake view. Food is excellent( 5 star) . Enjoyed my stay here to the maximum.

Lovely and relaxing stay amazing staff! ”

I would highly recommend Romlan to any traveler! I stayed here with a friend and we had a lovely room in an old Batak style house, so quaint! Getting here was very easy as the ferry dropped us off right at the hotel. I can't say enough good things about the staff! I got sick shortly after arriving and they took me to the doctor's office and stayed with me to help translate and sort out my medicine. They also drove my friend and I to the ferry terminal when we departed. So kind and a true family run place. My friend said the food at the restaurant was very good as well. Thank you Romlan!

We loved Romlan!”

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.

This is a very nice place to stay! We really enjoyed our time at Romlan. We booked 2 nights, but 3 nights would have been better! The only thing that bothered me was the menu at the restaurant... In fact, for breakfast, you have to order everything separately... to have a piece of butter, we had to pay 50 cents, which is overpriced... A special mention to Rahmat who helped us with the transportation when leaving Toba lake. He is very nice and helpful! Thanks again!

Great location, Clean Room, Calm Environment.”

An old but well maintained guesthouse. Tasty food at fair price. Quiet environment exactly facing the lake. Free to swim in the lake and free kayaking. Free Wi-Fi in guesthouse compound and hot shower (not reliable) available. However, there is no fan or TV in the room. Just clean and comfortable bed, which is sufficient. Power interruption is frequent on the island. So, always get your power bank charged. Will be perfect if the staff can be more warm and friendly. There was no greetings upon arrival. Smile is rare here. Their staff (Rahmat) and the owner's daughter were good.
