Tuk Tuk Timbul Bungalows

Will recommended this property. Its a little far from the town but our guide dropped us off to the hotel. We chose the Batak type room and had a great great time. No kettle in the room or tea/coffee. You have to buy it at the main desk, that was an issue as need warm water in the am. Other wise perfect romantic location with lots of Mangoes, Avacadoes and flowers around us

Close to the lake, can hear the ocean sound all day long, very peaceful The staff are very helpful and willing to take me to the ferry pier for free🙏 The only thing is that .. the sink in the bathroom not yet cleaned well😅

Friendly and helpful worker. Hotel clean. Worth for money.

Nice.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet a bit away from the main town, Tuktuk Timbul is very well located. We stayed in one of their traditional-style little houses, which were very cute and charming. It’s a great spot if your plan is simply to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and do nothing much. The homestay has a restaurant (we didn’t try the food though), a pool, a ping pong table, and a billiard table — so you can easily stay entertained without leaving the property. For the price, it’s definitely good value. That said, if you want to explore or do activities around Lake Toba, this may not be the best base. There isn’t much to do in the immediate area, and the staff weren’t very helpful when we asked for recommendations — apart from renting a scooter, they didn’t provide much guidance. Communication was also tricky as they don’t really speak English. Service felt a bit cold overall; the owners live nearby but never greeted us, which made us feel like we were disturbing them rather than being welcomed. In summary: a good option if your goal is to switch off, relax, and stay put at the homestay itself. But if you’re looking for friendly service, local tips, or activities beyond the property, you might find it lacking.

Beautiful location on a beautiful island. Best to have a scooter to get to the rest of the island. Otherwise this place can also give you everything you need. Wake up, take a swim in the lake and decide what to do next on tour holiday!

Nice, quiet and clean place with really nice food too

What a cool Bungalow. So nice and comfortable, cute outdoor balcony facing the lake. Can order breakfast and enjoy the view on your balcony
