Incredible Forest with nature sounds
This is amazing hotel located on the hills of Lake Toba, it takes around 4 hours from Silangit airport and 5 from Medan. If you like nature and relax away from buzzy cities this is your spot, also inside the property are plenty activities to do as you are isolated in the middle of the forest. With incredible landscapes similar to Scotland this hotel was recomended for some friends who visited few years back. Staff makes your stay unforgettable. Food options are limited to Indonesian, however inside the hotel facilites are food trucks and mini mart where you can opt for western alternatives. You need 3 days at least to annoy here actually the hotel has his own waterfalls and cliff if you are an avid trekker. Solos, families and friend will enjoy, not to much teenagers but there is karaoke in case. Internet speed is good. English wide spoken. You can book tours to samosir, berastagi and piso piso; also Tongi village, it will take few hours and I got little dizzy going down by those curved hills, But views are impressive, Also my driver was great Facilities are not 5 stars but within Indonesia impressed me!

The resort feels very work in progress. It was a comfortable stay but as a resort in the wild, there were ants and bugs that could get into the room.

Splendid Taman Simalem Resort
A very relaxing stay in Taman Simalem Resort. The staff were all so friendly, lead by their capable GM Benard. Special thanks to Kaban, Citra and Jessica for their exceptional services, as well as the restaurant staff at Tongqing and Waterfall venues. The resort has nice rooms overseeing the Lake Toba.

Great escapade and affordable
the scenery is jaw dropping. The estate is big covering 1 hill i guess. But the drawback is you need car to travel from one end to another. Amenities are plenty to choose and keep you busy for few days stay.

An unassuming experience
We wanted to visit Lake Toba and decided to Taman Simalem Resort (TSR) after reading much about the activities catered by the Resort. Was impressed with the homely service provided by the staff in TSR, it feels like another trip to Club Med. We decided to stay at Tongging Point Lodge as they have room for 4 twins which is convenient for me to gather my 2 teens to get moving for activities. We have great experience with the lady (forgot her name) who brought us through the coffee processing and roasting process. Definitely very enriching for city dwellers like us. The jungle treking was absolute a good workout and a refreshing one at the Twins waterfalls. We were highly encouraged those who visits TSR to go One Tree Hill for the breathtaking view though Tongging Point does have great view as well. The key highlight is the foods served in TSR, they were mainly organic vegetables and fruits. Last but least, we sincerely wanted to say a great thank you to all the staff in TSR despite there is imperfection.

The view is really beautiful and for the future guests do not underestimate the weather, it's really cold and windy, make sure you bring long sleeves, sweater, socks etc.The staffs are friendly and helpful. We paid 2.4 juta rupiah per night but there was no toiletries provided, only soap and shampoo in the bathroom but they didn't refill it, plus the outside toilet was so dirty and smelly in the morning and at night.There is no tv in the room and wifi is not working, every time you logged in, u must call the receptionist to get new wifi password which is so troublesome. It's very expensive for the basic room which is no tv, wifi problem, toilet outside (smelly and dirty). no toiletries provided,no iron. Just bear in mind, it's expensive because of the view with a really basic room.

A should go place!
It was an amazing stay. The sun rise....the view. I definitely will come back here and would recommend friends and family to put it as their to go place. However, your staff are not really helpful when i ask for information regarding my transport back to medan as i was told by the driver that i only booked a one way trip. Your staff told me that i have to wait and see whether they have a driver on that day. Which is too late, what if there is no transport? In the end i have to do everything on my own. From going online booking and confirming my trip back. Staff during breakfast and dinner lacks the initiative to top up foods and drink before it runs out. Which would result in a long queue and too long of a waiting time. Apart from this eveyone there have been friendly and helps out in everyway. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
