Exceptional hotel with exceptional Service Standards. What I really like about this hotel, is that it represents the spirit of Samosir Island, a laid back island with practically a perfect view every second. We stayed in July, kinda felt that we're the only guests in the entire hotel! The room is basic without fan, but there's no need to have one since at night temperatures fall to 18 degrees Celsius. Hot water is available in showers but bottled water is only available from the main hall, which closes around 9.30pm. Wifi isn't available but well, it's always good to be away from our phones. Although the hotel is 3.2km away from Tuk Tuk, the ferry from Parapat will drop you directly in front of the hotel (just let the boat peeps know).
The view outside the room (6B) is simply amazeballs. What better can it be to wake up from this view. Deck chairs are available and lighting is available at light.
However, as it is an open compound, I strongly recommend guests to keep their valuables secure and the room (and it's windows) locked when sleeping or away.
What actually made it exceptional is the high service standards and the fresh food that is provided in the dining hall. Staff speak a good amount of English and menus are in English, with a variety of French, Western and Indonesian cuisine.
All in all, I'll certainly come back to stay with Mas Cottages in the near future 'Mau Le Atteh' 😌

Delicious food and friendly staff. Hot shower and clean rooms. I do miss mosquito net and airco

The view was breath-taking. However, when we got into some problems with the local motorbike rental, the hotel staff handled it so badly. At first, they just let strangers/outsiders enter the hotel premise and intrude our personal space. Our holiday mood was ruined when some people just barged in and pointed at our noses saying that we broke their bikes. The hotel owner and staff didn't help us, worse even, they took the other side and started calling us liars (as we explained that we didn't). Unbelievable! Will never come back again.

Beautiful magical place my 3rd time back here now. Very peaceful and staff very friendly. The batak house is a must!

A cheap but decent, cozy place to stay near the water (Tuk Tuk area). You will easily be lulled to sleep by the sound of the water just outside your room and balcony (if you get the rooms facing the lake, that is). You can easily jump and swim on the lake if you want to. Family-run with accommodating staff. Cheap but good and decent food choices.

Good services per the price. Room was clean, but all furniture and gear was very used. There was only one plug, WiFi is only in lobby. It's very far to the city centre. On the other side there is very nice view, kind personal, very good food and they offer motorbike with full gas for 120.000IDR/day.

The cottages and staff are really nice. But the spaghetti bolognaise I ate in the restaurant was quite a disappointment because of all the (Heinz) tomato ketchup. Far too much sugar for me, although Americans will probably like it.
But they also have have real "kroketten" and "bitterballen" on the menu, a real treat to have when drinking a cool beer at Mas.

Nice hotel with a terrific view. The rooms are clean and the service very friendly. It's possible to rent a motor bike or to get a laundry service. It's a bit off the town so it's calm. The WiFi works quite slow.

Clean rooms. Nice staff. Good food. Lovely view.

AGGRESSIVE AND LYING HOTEL MANAGER WITH PRICING ISSUES/// DIRTY ROOM WITH ANTS IN BED
The Hotel Manager tried to fool us several times with the price and tried to charge us a higher rate than we booked. In the neverending discussion about it, the Manager was aggressive and argued with lousy excuses.
The room ("Standard room") had a nice view on the Lake, but it was very dirty. We had ants in the bed and found trash on Floor.
In total: ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDABLE!!!

Simple, quiet and affordable rooms with a beautiful view of the lake. The rooms are right next to the beach so you can just jump right in.

Nice scenery and great view of Lake Toba from sun rise to sun set having different feeling and mid night with sound of wave
❤️❤️❤️

DO NOT EAT THEIR FOOD!
It's an okay place, but a little too expensive for what it is. The bathrooms are okay, but the showers are located in the middle of the room with no separation, wetting the entire bathroom when used. Toilet paper was scarce.
The rooms are all beside each-other and can be quite loud depending on the guests.
Their restaurant, however, is expensive in comparison to other places in Tuk-Tuk (e.g. Tuk-Tuk Timbul right next to it) and serves bad food - we got diarrhea from eating their curry, and that after having no problems whatsoever with loads of other food in 2 weeks of Indonesia.
Motorbike rental is 50% more expensive than ANY other place around.
I'd recommend other places on the island that are equally or less pricey and often calmer and more relaxed.

Clean and new coz I stayed at the new building. Blackout very often... The view from the balcony is fantastic. Situated right beside the lake. Room is bare minimum. Besides lighting, there are no other electrical item. Full of insects and ants.

Great value for money regarding accommodation. Food is not that great. Motorbike rental is only until 6pm, therefore is not convenient at all. Better if you rent somewhere else where to you can keep it until the end of the day. It is not located in the heart of Tuk Tuk, you need transportation to go anywhere. Nice views of the lake and hot shower.

Really great place. Value for money. Good location but no need to go out much because everything you need is right here. The most stunning views of Lake Toba and hills and mountains surrounding it. Helpful staff, helped me book a tour of Samosir Island. The food was good and decently priced. Only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is the lack of WiFi in each separate cottage. Have to walk up a ton of steps to the reception area to gain access. Out of breath by the time you're there. Overall, I still recommend it.

Mas Cottages is a good hotel for Samosir standard. However, it is important to note that rooms are slopey walks away from the entrance. Therefore, please consider your choice if you have companions who have trouble walking. Rooms are also a little dusty, which I can understand as Samosir is not a very advanced island.

Very helpful and nice staff. Great locaton, views and food.

Our room is clean, amazing view and very relaxing, but there is no facility like swimming pool, playground or garden. So the kid may get bored

Very bad first impression due to a worker there. However overall others are very helpful and kind. They actually provide fruit planted there for free if you ask them for it.
Ilya Yakubovich (22/10/2016 11:41)
Very new, clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms. Beautiful tradition Batak architecture. Great food, and also close to Joe's Restaurant. Swimming in the lake and watching the sunset was very nice.

Нам понравилось. Встретили на пароме . Персонал дружелюбный. Номер с горячей водой . Отдельный большой плюс за фантастический вид на озеро. И сам наш домик в 5 метрах от озера Тоба.

Good view of lake toba

Fantastic place right by the lake. Best place to stay in Lake Toba.

Penginapan yang nyaman, tenang dan sangat cocok untuk bulan madu

Quiet location found on the outskirts of Tuk Tuk. The owner is hospitable and the views stunning. Not much around that's walkable. Bicycle and motorbike rentals are available.
