    Amazing location, the view from the terrace at the restaurant is stunning. We had our 2 rooms 3 meters away from the lake. The children loved swimming and fighting, right outside the door of our rooms. Hot water and very clean. The food was very...

    Facilities are clean if basic, but the view alone makes it fantastic value for .money. The taxi arranged through the guest house was excellent. Arnid the taxi driver was totally reliable and made the transfer to and from Medan airport very easy.

    Great location! Tuk tuk is chill and the people are beautiful. Reggae guesthouse is probably the best spot to stay on the lake- we loved it and extended our stay a few times 😅

    We had booked the suite with lake view, which has 2 big bedrooms, a bathroom and big terrace, with an amazing view on the lake. Very comfortable rooms. To reach there you just need to ask the ferry captain to drop you at Reggae. You can swim in...

    This is a great place to stay absolutely loved it , right on the lakeside. The food was great in the restaurant and the staff all really nice . Definitely recommend staying here.

    The major plus point for me about Reggae Guesthouse is the fact that you can walk out of your room and straight in to the lake. This was lovely. I don't know if you can do that elsewhere. View is great, so sitting around on the bench doing nothing...

Property information

Reggae Guest House is a friendly, welcoming, guesthouse located on the edge of Lake Toba. This is a family-run accommodation, managed and staffed by a welcoming Batak family. Every single room here has spectacular views of the lake, and access to the lake itself is mere steps away from your front door. We are in a quiet spot, away from the noise of the larger hotels but within walking distance of bars and restaurants. Every room is clean and comfortable, with fresh sheets, hot water, and western toilets. Even our unique 150-year-old Batak house (triple family room) is clean and comfortable, complete with a balcony to relax on as you take in the spectacular views of the ferries passing by on the lake. The views from our common lounge and patio restaurant area are just as epic. Enjoy Western or local food and a cold Bintang while you soak it all in. But the best part about our place (apart from those views that just don't quit!) is the friendly welcome you'll get. Our family is always here to help you with anything you need - whether it's lunch delivered to your room, scooter hire, or advice on getting around Lake Toba.

Neighbourhood information

Tuk Tuk is the central tourist area on Samosir Island, in the middle of the enormous crater lake, Lake Toba. Just a small peninsula on the side of the vast island, Tuk Tuk has everything you could need, whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, foodie paradise, or cultural immersion. There are numerous restaurants serving delicious Indonesian cuisine and Western food. There are endless lake views to enjoy, souvenir shops to browse, and some gorgeous places to sit back and enjoy a drink. Of course, there's also Lake Toba itself! Hire a kayak, jump on a jetski, take a speedboat or ferry ride to explore the Lake. Scooter or bicycle hire is another great way to explore Tuk Tuk and the rest of Samosir Island. Catch a Batak cultural performance, learn about Batak culture at one of the unique sites on the island, or visit a bustling local market to soak it all in.
