Un très bon séjour au Maruba Inn, idéal pour profiter pleinement de Samosir !
Pros:

Très bon séjour de 4 nuits au Maruba Inn. L’accueil est chaleureux et attentionné : l’équipe s’est occupée de nos différentes réservations de transferts ainsi que de la location du scooter sur place, ce qui a vraiment facilité mon séjour.
La chambre était propre et confortable, avec une vue magnifique. Le petit-déjeuner offre un grand choix et le restaurant de l’hôtel est également très bon.
L’emplacement est idéal, à proximité de plusieurs restaurants et des principaux endroits à visiter. Une très bonne adresse que je recommande sans hésiter !

My top choice in Tuktuk
Pros:

I really enjoy my stay!
Good size of room, with an electric kettle, very comfortable bed, big window facing the lake, hot water, great WiFi speed.
Access to the lake, where it’s not getting deep right away, so it’s really nice.
It’s only 5-10 mins walk from cafes and shops. And Maruba’s restaurant is really great too, I love their guacamole and grilled fish.
It was my third hotel in Tuktuk and out of those would definitely come back here!

Cons:

Everything was great!

Très décevant
Pros:

La chambre était grande et correcte face au lac.

Cons:

Grande déception.
J'avais réservé une chambre a l'étage et on m'a donné celle au rez de chaussée moins chère.
La salle de bains était salle.
L'ensemble fait très négligé aussi bien la chambre que le jardin et le bord du lac.
Beaucoup d'escaliers irréguliers a descendre pour accéder aux chambres.
Petit déjeuner très moyen, les pancakes ne sont pas bons car jamais assez cuits
Le personnel n'est pas chaleureux.
Aucun menage ou demande si nous avions besoin de quelque chose en 5 jours ...
Emplacement également un peu éloigné de la zone la plus agréable qui se trouve près du restaurant Jenny.

Quiet place to stay and nice room.
Pros:

The room was clean, with all the commodities you can expect for the price you pay. Eventually I got really sick and the staff was extremely helpful, they took me to the doctor and took care of me, I will always be thankful.

Cons:

Nothing.

Overall had a lovely time and enjoyed the room. Would definitely return!
Pros:

Very private. Beautiful view especially mornings. Nice size room and great comfortable bed. Good hot water.

Cons:

Quite noisey some days and evenings due to neighbouring hotels with loid parties and karaoke but beyond Maruba’s control. Water made a lot of noise when in use but not too disturbing. Very loud when raining due to metal roofs.

Agréable séjour avec belle vue sur le lac
Pros:

L’hôtel est bien situé à Tuk Tuk et offre un cadre très agréable.
Ma chambre disposait d’une terrasse avec une jolie vue sur le lac. Elle était lumineuse, orientée à l’est, ce qui permet de profiter du lever de soleil.

Le restaurant de l’hôtel est très bon et le personnel est particulièrement agréable. Il est également très serviable pour organiser les transports ou répondre aux questions.

À mon arrivée, la première chambre présentait un problème de débit d’eau. Le personnel m’a immédiatement proposé une autre chambre, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié.

Cons:

À partir d’environ 7h30, des jet-skis circulent sur le lac juste devant l’hôtel. Le bruit s’entend depuis la chambre ; si vous êtes sensible au bruit, prévoyez des bouchons d’oreilles.

J’ai également trouvé la salle de bain peu pratique. Le lavabo est petit et le trou d’évacuation est situé à l’opposé du pommeau de douche, ce qui fait que le sol est mouillé.
