Zoe's Paradise Waterfront Hotel

Excellent and beautifully clean room with a breathtaking view of the lake and the island. Its tranquil setting directly at the water is surely unique. We asked them for a honeymoon room deco and the team went out of their way to accommodate our wishes. The bed was very comfortable once we had all the decoration removed. And the traditional Indonesian bathroom was spotlessly clean. We felt spoiled by the choice of excellent local and international food on the breakfast buffet. Which was included in my room price. I enjoyed a complimentary Kajak paddle and treated myself to a very good Batak massage. Very special was the visit by local English students who came to the hotel to practice their speaking skills. Beautiful how this place supports the local community. The young and friendly Indonesian staff was always helpful and courteous. This little gem at lake Toba is surely a place we will come back to.

The cleanest hotel I have ever visited on Damosir Island. Very friendly and good service. The room with a lake view is really pleasing to the eye (I ordered superior and the room was on the 4th floor). There are beach chairs by the pool for a place to relax. It is also equipped with an umbrella so you don't need to worry about getting too hot. Highly recommended for a holiday on Samosir Island

A hotel with complete facilities in my opinion. They have slides for swimming pools, free canoeing, free fishing, there are board games for children and so on. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a family holiday

a beautiful hotel with the best service in my opinion. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are also good, such as a swimming pool, slides, canoes and fishing equipment (free for all guests). Highly recommended for those who want to go on holiday to Samosir😇😁.

The ferry arrives on the private pier of the hotel and from this moment we were looked after so well by the friendly and happy staff. The rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. Our room had a balcony with a gorgeous view over the lake. The bathrooms need a little attention but the new owner assures us that is on the renovations agenda. Breakfast was excellent- lots of choice and the dining area overlooks the lovely pool and gardens.

A very enjoyable three-day stay at this comfortable, clean, friendly boutique hotel. I had a large room with a balcony and a beautiful view of the lake. Excellent breakfast included. Great location right on the lake and close to numerous restaurants in Tuk Tuk. Manager and staff helpful and accommodating. Very good value.

We had a very pleasant stay with this boutique hotel, just next to Lake Toba. The staffs are all very friendly and nice, the receptionists speak very good English, which are great help to us! They are so helpful for our communications with our local drivers! The hotel manager is very responsive and hands-on, she is always available to answer to our needs. Breakfast is also one of the best among the local hotels we have stayed in various areas around Indonesia. Highly recommend to family travelers!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a lot of questions and all were answered with patience and enthusiasm. Perfect WiFi and very nice location. We loved the breakfast as well. Also you can (re)fill your water bottle for free throughout the hotel, which was very nice as well. Def recommend staying here!

I booked rooms in this hotel literally just based on the spectacular view I saw on their *********** page. I read other people reviews on *********** and notice to get the view that I saw on ***********, I must book their most expensive room. So I did. Without reading what facilities they offered. I was there with my parents in their early 70's and my husband. Check in was smooth, the receptionists team was amazing I cannot fault them. I once watch them trying to get their points accross to western guests who was trying to book/ check-in. Yes, their english was not perfect, but I was so proud of them being so brave and tried their best to try to explain their point to the confused looking guests. I would've help, but I see no need for me to, they got it. As u can tell, I love the staff, they're amazing! Receptionists, housekeeper(poor young guy had to carry my mother's heavy suitcase down the stairs! Bless him!), peeps at breakfast who always greet my family with smile and kind words, and the amazing manager who was always presence during breakfast, making sure that her guests are happy and taken care of. And the view! Gosh, it really was spectacular, I wish the balcony was not made of half wall, but glass fence, so I could sit there all day doing my writing while looking at that gorgeous view uninterrupted. For breakfast, we always pick Asian cuisine(which was tasty by the way! Well done team!), the western cuisine was not so appealing I am afraid. I think it was only toast and jam, I don't think they have omelette(or any eggs cooked differently), but not really sure now. I suggest to add eggs(omelette, fried or boiled) if you haven't(so sorry if u actually already have this on the menu, I can't remember anymore now) and cereal. I think my only complaint, and this is probably quite important for many people looking for a comfortable stay, is the lack of air-conditioner in the room. Had I know and read it carefully before I book rooms in this hotel, I might not book it in the first place. I spoken to the manager about it and she mentioned about AC isn't healthy, although I can understand this, but fan isn't really a healthier option either. Yes, the air was cool around 20ish degree celcius in the evening, but only once it was 8pm or something. And yes, it kept going down to under 20 degrees at some point, but that is the air outside, we don't sleep outside. If you have a thermostat in each bedrooms, u will find out that inside was way much warmer than the outside and opening the windows or door while sleeping wasn't really an option due to the mosquitos. So I hope, when the budget allows, the owner can upgrade the rooms with AC. Some of the room, if not all, thank you for reading and your hospitality. Let us know when the AC are installed, we will then definitely be back.
