Juma cottages

Tuk Tuk

Set in Tuk Tuk in the Sumatra region, Juma cottages features a garden. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking.

All units in the guest house are fitted with a kettle. Some units feature a terrace and/or a balcony with lake views. The units at the guest house come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower. I liked everything. The first of many positives was the owner coming to pick me up at the dock. He came back because I had a big suitcase. After spending one night at Juma Cottages, I extended my booking for one more week. It was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of Lake Toba. I strongly recommend Juma to anyone.

Walur Surf Villa

Krui

Situated in Krui, Walur Surf Villa offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Walur Beach and offers various facilities, such as a garden and barbecue facilities. This homestay features free private parking and room service. This was an awesome place to stay, it’s clean and simple in a great location. However, what sets this villa apart is the owner, Frenki. He is very kind and is able to help you with anything you need. He organized us car rides, scooter rentals, and visa extensions. During our stay we got sick, he took us to the doctor and helped us get antibiotics. At the hospital my brother needed stitches, he dropped everything to come right away to help us. Night after night he showed us great local places to eat. Frenki really cares about his guests and wants them to enjoy krui. I would highly recommend staying here!
