Relaxed, geluk met het weer, fietsen om t eiland is heel leuk.
Pros:

Het prachtige uitzicht en het schone prive strand met de vissers, poezen en honden.
De beheerder spreekt goed engels en helpt je als je daarom vraagt. Kan actiever zodat de bezoeker /vakantieganger enthousiast wordt voor dit mooie gebied.

Lieu paisible et très beau. Et les indonésiens sont tellement accueillants. Nous avons hâte de revenir.
Pros:

Gentillesse de l’accueil, au bord du lac et location de vélos en très bon état, excellente cuisinière

Cons:

Manque un interrupteur près de la porte d’entrée. Fauteuils de plage abîmés et salissants (chambres à air).

Perfect place by the lake
Pros:

It’s right by the lake and the sunset was just amazing. The room and bathroom were really clean and the bed was very comfortable. There’s an in-house restaurant so no need to worry about food either.

Cons:

There’s a fishy smell in the bathroom but it’s really not a big deal.

Unpleasant experience
Cons:

Zero staff, photos did not show reality, accommodation was unclean, bed linen old, toilet paper missing, roof over shower was collapsing, water only cold, not swept.Maybe not all their bungalows look like that, but anyway, we were very unlucky.

A rustic stay in a natural environment
Pros:

Eka and the staff made our stay at Eka's bungalows a highlight of our time spent in Indonesia. A quiet, relaxed lakeside location a few minutes from the friendly 'town' centre with a restaurant, scooter and bike rental available. A rustic stay in a natural environment that we thoroughly enjoyed (extended our stay).

Superb
Pros:

I love the scenery of Tasik Maninjau in front of the homestay. Less than 10 steps and there is one of the most historic lake in Padang. Its very cold at night and early morning. Maybe thats the reason there’s no AC or even a fan inside the room. However,i think we need a fan inside for a ventilation. The bathroom is decent. There’s no nearby restaurant so you need to talk a walk to the main road,but thats not a problem. The people are friendly but the staring is there from the local. I think they stare a lot to the tourists :p

Above all,nothing can beat the beautiful scenery of Tasik Maninjau.

Do not stay here!
Pros:

The lake is beautiful and deserves more visitors. Visit Lake Maninjau but do not stay at Eka's Bungalow.

Cons:

This was the worst hospitality I have experienced in a long time. When we arrived the owner(?) spoke 3 words to us, directed us to the bungalow and walked off. That was the extent of any interaction until he asked for payment of the bill. We would have appreciated information about breakfast, the local area, hiring bikes/ canoes/ SUPs, wifi passwords, local attractions, tours and transport. We got nothing. The bungalow was VERY basic and the 2nd bed had no mosquito net. There were ants and spiders on the bed, lizards hornets and mosquitoes in the room. The lack of a mosquito net was not acceptable. There is a dangerous hole at the stairs to the upper bedroom. The bikes, that I assume you could hire, looked in poor condition with no tread. There are feral cats on the property. Do not stay at Muaro Beach/ Eka's Bungalow.
