HORAS!

Welcome (Horas) to our boutique hotel right on Lake Toba. 

Samosir Island is the heart of Lake Toba and the countryside is breathtaking, comprised of steep slopes of greenery that meet the clear blue waters of the lake. There are amazing views in every direction, from the mist in the morning to the amazing sunsets that conclude the day. Samosir Island offers you a wonderful getaway from the heat and frantic pace of most local cities. 

 

Please understand that we are here on an island that is far from a big city and that you experience your stay differently than in a city with state-of-the-art infrastructure. That means things here in Batakland can be different than you are used to. Sumatra has not an infrastructure like the industrialized nations. Indonesia is developping fast, but a western standard is not for granted everywhere. 

 

Our island is traditionally Christian. If you practice another religion, we ask you to respect our Batak culture. All religions and cultures are welcome in our hotel!

 

Stream your own films: Connect  your mobile phone or tablet to the TV and watch your own content. We don't have a television program because the television authority on our island doesn't offer a hotel solution. A satellite solution is also not possible because of our windy lake location. 

​

Please note: We hired a new team of staff in Dezember 2022 as the previous staff returned to their families and/or got married and became parents during and after the Covid Pandemic. The majority of our current employees have never had personal contact with foreign people before, and we ask for your understanding if everything does not always go perfectly, as is usual in industrialized countries.

We are proud of how sensitively our new team deals with other cultures and we want to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.

Our team is here to help you with whatever you need. So don't hesitate to let management know how we can help you.

 

Feel at home in our hotel and enjoy your stay!
