We spent 2 nights here, and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. They also provide both cold and hot water to prepare coffee and tea. However, the highlight was the family running it! They are incredibly kind and welcoming, always doing their best to make sure we were happy. We became really good friends and will always keep them in our hearts.💕

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 🏝.

Best place we’ve ever stayed, cannot recommend it highly enough! The beach 5 meters from the room has some of the best snorkeling we have ever tried. We even saw a sea turtle. Borja is extremely attentive and helpful, and will try to help you regardless of what you need. We stayed in both a deluxe room and later a bungalow. Both are amazing but the bungalow has a bit more privacy. It takes roughly 15 minutes by scooter to get to Gapang Beach where there are diving and freediving schools.

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.
