A hotel with some amazing and some horrible features.Pros: great view, spacious and well maintained room, beautiful landscaping.P.s. in the early morning, shower water was a bit cold and the weather was cold so it didn’t help much.Cons: terrible, terrible food. I can’t see myself staying here for more than a night just because I can’t bear eating food here for more than a day. Carbonara and many other dishes had almost no saltiness. Soto had too much msg taste. Many staffs don’t speak even basic English. And I can’t just ignore as a Korean that bibimbap was under Chinese menu.Another issue was that there was a small poster on the table advertising “local natural wine” which sounded like the wine was made by themselves. Not only the wine wasn’t brewed locally but also it wasn’t natural. It happened to be a cheap box wine from Bali. I tried to find whether it was natural but I couldn’t find that piece of information on the box or on the website.P.s. they tried to make up by apologizing in person when checking out. So I can at least sense that they care.

4/5
The views are fantastic, the air is very cool and clean. But quite expensive for the room rate.And if you want to go to your room or to a restaurant, it's quite tiring if you don't take the transportation provided by the resort. If you want to take this transportation, you have to wait 15 to 20 minutes, or when someone happens to bring guests, they pass in front of the room.There is no room service so you can order food to your room. For dinner you have to book first using a package.If you want a la carte, the restaurant is very far from your room and only opens from 6 pm.

A hotel that is not worth visiting for a family holiday because not all of the outbound facilities can be used, the feeding rabbits are zonk, the zonk labyrinth, let alone the othersnever mind the price is expensive, the welcome drink is wasteful, I just came in because I asked for a recommendation for a budget friendly room.Got a deluxe room priced at 3.2 million/night with 2 extra beds which were forced into a small room, even though what's wrong with suggesting 2 rooms for a total of that price so we don't become like refugees.Water is like tea, it's not clear, at least filter it first so it's a little clear.Bad experience for staycation at this hotelWe are disappointed, brother

Room:+ Even though the resort has been around for a long time and looks deserted, the condition of the rooms is still pretty well maintained. Warm water is also smooth.- The footwear in the room doesn't absorb water, so the floor is often wet. There are several rooms where access requires climbing quite high stairs, which is a bit difficult for the elderly. There is no refrigerator to store food.Location:- Access from the direction of Samosir or Berastagi, there are many spots with poor road conditions, narrow and potholes. The access road in the resort area has a lot of asphalt peeling off or is uneven, it feels like the road is on gravel without asphalt.+ Remote location, so the atmosphere is calm away from noise.Food:+ Quite delicious and complete on the breakfast and cafe menu.Activities:++ There are many types of activities for adults and children. It won't be enough if you just stay overnight.Views:+++ The view of Lake Toba and the mountains is really good.

The view of Lake Toba from Simalem Resort is one of the most stunning in North Sumatra. Located at an altitude, Simalem Resort offers a spectacular panorama of the largest volcanic lake in Indonesia. From various corners of the resort, visitors can enjoy views of the expansive blue water surrounded by lush green hills.The resort provides many vantage points ideal for taking photos, including "One Tree Hill," an iconic location where one large tree stands alone, creating a stunning backdrop. Apart from that, there are also tea gardens and flower gardens which add to the natural beauty of the surroundings.The views at sunrise and sunset from this resort are extraordinary. Sunlight reflecting on the surface of Lake Toba creates a magical and unforgettable light effect. The cool mountain air adds comfort when enjoying the view, making moments at Simalem Resort even more enjoyable.Apart from enjoying the view, Simalem Resort offers various activities, such as hiking, garden tours and agrotourism. Complete facilities and friendly service make the experience of staying here very satisfying.Overall, Simalem Resort is the perfect destination to enjoy the beauty of Lake Toba. The combination of stunning natural views, calm atmosphere and various interesting activities makes it a place not to be missed when visiting North Sumatra.

The place is spacious and there are more outbound activities. Suitable for people who like tranquility or like activities with nature. Unfortunately, many cafes or games are no longer active. There are also rooms available for 4 people and 2 people. For those who book a 4 person room, the bathroom is outside the bedroom.
