 View from my room at the hotel by schlumpf
The hotel has beautifull cleaned and big rooms, the service is simply on high level, the weitres are so nice and sweet, and you will never have a problem.
When you would need something, the crew will definyely find out a solution for you!
The building has the tipical Batak house stile, pretty cool, and moreover few of them (not all, few) has a Lake front view (mine yes, for sure!)
With all those positive aspect, the price is acceptable, US8-10 for a double room with a absolutely cleaned bathroom plus shower.
You can also hire a motorbike here (altough if you get out it costs less).
The pic showes the view of the sunset (ok, beginning of the sunset) from my room...

 A typical guesthouse in Batak
style by dabuwan
Many of them are built in typical Batak style and you can access the lake for a swim very easily directly from the door.
There is a big competition between all the guesthouses and in low season you can bargain very low prices. The owners expect you are having your dinner at the guesthouse and not somewhere else. Theme: Pension/GuesthousePrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about average

 Guesthouse Kids by Bonobo2005
My veranda was only 2 meters from the water. I could jump right in!
The only disadvantage is the lack of nets in combination with a large numbers of insects inside, including huge spiders.
Another hassle, but that you will likely encounter all over Tuk Tuk, are the boys selling (or try to sell) grass and afterwards come to beg for a smoke. Theme: Other

Bagus Bay is popular amongst the backpacker crowd, and with good reason. The bungalows are all built in the style of the traditional Batak house, with steps that lead up to a tiny door you have to stoop to enter, and beds in lofts on different levels. These houses are great fun to scramble around in, even more so after a plate of 'special' mushroom omelette :) Just try not to bump your head on the uneven ceiling.
The one complaint I have about Bagus Bay is the kitchen service. Nick ordered a lasagna, which also came with side dishes like salad and french fries. They brought the side dishes but not the lasagna. As the waitress cleared away the plates I reminded her about the lasagna, and she nodded in agreement. After we waited for an hour, I finally walked into the kitchen to enquire once more about the lasagna. The reply was, 'You want another lasagna?' I started yelling in exasperation, and once they understood they started laughing at me. Eventually, Nick got his lasagna.

Typical Batak houses serve as hotel rooms. Just rent one with up to five people. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Just get off from the ferry from the mainland at the first stop and it's the first hotel you see.

It is a bit more expensive than most places, but there are few places where can you stay in a Batak house. The outside looks traditional, but the inside is nice and somewhat modern. There is a common room with a television and movies. Also, a small lakeside area for swimming. Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: It is right next to Bagus Bay, but it quieter because most of the rooms are away from the road.

My Indonesian friends made reservations for me, and made what they thought was the best, so, I am not angry I stayed at Hotel Niagara. But I have some regrets, after discovering other places. . . . Well, I really prefer to find my hotels by chance, not planning, but well, it’s done!
Hotel Niagara is a huge concrete block, tarnished a bit with Batak style.
To make short: the room are correct, the breakfast is nice, the staff is caring: well, all is nice, just. . . . yes. . . impersonal, you are anonymous there, it is a tourist caring factory, everything is OK, but there is no real stuff!
One thing was nice during my stay there: huge big gardens, you can walk for kilometres, see trees, fields, have a great view over the lake; you can have long walks and look at the flowers and even watch some shy birds. I can recommend this hotel for families and people looking for comfort, and liking quietude (it is far from the city centre), but if you look for something with character, look elsewhere.
I paid 350.000 Rp per night for 5 nights which had been reserved. Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Jl.

Great location, good value rooms and well recommended previously.
But be warned, it is a biggish, family hotel. The kids are running round screaming by 6am. You have no chance of a lie in at the Carolina! Theme: HotelPrice: less than US$20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Danau Toba, Tuk Tuk

The Flower of Samosir; I write this hotel tip, despite I did not stay there, but I know where I will stay next time if I happen to come back to Danau Toba. After my lunch, Anna showed me around and showed me the rooms of the guesthouse; I took one picture, but you can see more on facebook (!! Yes this guest house has a face!!!, see the weblink).
I cannot write about staff, service, etc, the rooms look nice, have bathrooms toilets, etc. . . and have a view over the lake, all this for less than 90.000 Rp (less than 9 US$) per night! And this is the “superior room! There are shared rooms for 15.000 Rp per person: more budget is not possible!
I regretted I had already a hotel room in Parapat where I had to come back. . . . This place looks wonderful, is a guest house, not an impersonal hotel like you may find in Tuktuk, or other places of Samosir. The pictures show a view from a room I visited and the room I visited (but did not sleep there).
