"Very comfortable and the service is very friendly. The standard rooms are quite clean, but the luxury rooms are highly recommended."

"Very far away from eating places and there is limited public transport to town. so, must have own car to get around"

"Book a standard room. There is an en-suite bathroom, and there is also hot water. Clean and comfortable. The view directly overlooks Lake Toba. Cheap price but worth it. Suitable for those in a healing mood because the place is not noisy. It's really great 🤣"

"I had a wonderful stay at Matraville; Dim was super helpful and friendly, picking me up and dropping me off for my ferries to and from the island, and arranging a private tour of the island for me at short notice, along with advising me with travel options back to Medan airport and then booking my chosen one. It's clear he really cares about his guests having a good stay! The homestay itself is also lovely, with an excellent view from the balcony, and ambient lighting for the winding down to sleep. It's also only a short walk to very good bars and restaurants (5-15mins depending on your selection), with a good place for breakfast just next door. Would definitely recommend and return!"

"For that price, it's not worth it. There's no hot water, no coffee or tea, and they use a fan, it's like RedDoorz."

"The views and facilities here are excellent. It definitely lives up to its reputation as one of Sumatra's top luxury hotels. It has its own private jetty, so you can travel directly to the hotel by boat from Samosir (make sure to use the Tiga Raja jetty; A****ta goes to a different location). The hotel is spotlessly clean, meeting Japanese standards of hygiene, and the staff's English proficiency and the hotel's cleanliness are arguably the best in Tuktuk. For a 5-star hotel, it's quite affordable from a Japanese perspective. However, after staying here, I'm left wondering if paying this price for a hotel in Tuktuk was really worth it. It's quite far from the central area of Tuktuk where most other hotels are located, which was a significant disappointment (it's about a 20-minute walk, and ride-sharing apps like Grab don't work here). Also, the hotel's optional services, such as the rooftop bar and transfers, are expensive for Indonesia (though perhaps this is expected for a luxury hotel). I came here to enjoy Lake Toba and Tuktuk, but aside from the views, I'm not sure I fully enjoyed the experience. Most other hotels in Tuktuk also have their own private jetties, and I wouldn't really recommend this place to those looking to experience and enjoy Indonesia. I probably won't stay here again."

"This hotel location is exactly next to Lake Toba. Very beautiful scenery and nice environment. However, the provided room is very run down. I believe it is time to renovate and refurbish the entire room especially the toilet and its bedding items."

"If you're simply looking for relaxation and have no expectations for hotel facilities and services, then this is a good option. The environment is very quiet, but it lacks the amenities you'd expect from a hotel or a typical Airbnb. The pictures are problematic."

"The room is big and the view is so beautiful by the lake. The service staff was good.. nothing to complain about at this rate."
