Such friendly, helpful staff - they went out of their way to give us advice on which routes to take for our onward destination, rang to make sure we were ok and offered to help if we needed anything even after we’d left! Zoe was a great guide for our Sibayak hike. Breakfast included too. Great value.

Thou there are some teething issues, but to my amazing the customer oriented host, Mr Dimmer is attentive and friendly - always ready to help. The home stay is about 800 m away from jetty. You can contact the host prior to arrival. He is more than happy to provides free shuttle and pick up service. Homestay is located lake front, morning and evening breeze make you pleasing. The room is sparkling cleaned with towels and basic amenities. Eatery outlets or warung and minimart are at walking distance. The home stay has car or motorcycle for rent if you need one. We stayed 3 nights here and truly enjoyed. Highly recommended. We will come back to this homestay if we are back to Samosir Island 🏝.

Absolutely loved this hostel. It wasn't busy at all as I was travelling in the low season, but it's very comfortable, with nice shower and Aircon, free coffee, well behaved and friendly local staff, and a very funny, generous and accomodating owner, Philip. I think the project and developmwnt of the place is excellent and I really enjoyed my time there.

After making the reservation, Alek - the owner of the accommodation - contacted me if I needed help with ordering a taxi and then brought me directly to the accommodation. The rooms here are clean, large enough and have a porch, where you can dry your laundry. On the way up to the room, you have a beautiful view of the river, where you can swim and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. This accommodation also has a restaurant, where they have excellent food for a low price. They will be happy to help you and advise you with anything, do not be afraid to contact them. I also did a jungle trek with Alek's team, which I highly recommend! Ian was a great expedition leader, the food on the expedition was varied and very good. The nature around here is also beautiful, I recommend staying here for several days and get to know the surroundings and the local people.

We had an awesome stay at Sama Sama Homestay. The owners are so welcoming, kind and friendly, so we directly felt comfortable. The brewed us delicious coffee each day and were always up for some nice and interesting smalltalk. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and we especially liked the balcony area to take some coffee and relax. We recommend a stay here!!

The views from the hotel room....lovely.. I waited for sunrise on the two mornings that I was there. It's a homestay ...hence, the owner kept us well informed. We had lovely cooked dinners and breakfasts.

Alek is the most helpful homestay host we have had. He managed to sort out our 3D2N trek the night before we wanted to go and he lent us his bike to travel to an ATM. The location is ideal and lots of nice places to eat right outside. Well worth the price!!

Arif and Risky are great hosts. The hotel is 30 minutes walking into the jungle and in a nice quiet area. Al you can hear is the river flowing by, the animals and the rain on the roof Awesome jungle trekking with Wanda and Juli. And great local food at night made by Risky.
