    Staff were friendly and polite especially being so young without any management around fir our whole stay

    Fawlty Towers" on Samosir Island – A Disaster from Start to FinishAfter trekking through the jungles of Sumatra, my family and I booked Zoe’s Waterfront Paradise Hotel expecting a bit of luxury, poolside drinks, and a beautiful lake setting. Instead, we got a comedy of errors that felt exactly like staying at Fawlty Towers.Room Downgrade & No Chairs: We specifically requested rooms with a lake view but were given a view of the street. There was a shared balcony with a lake view, but it had zero seating. When we asked for chairs, we were told there were no extras. I had to demand a plastic chair or a crate just to sit down; two chairs finally appeared, only to mysteriously vanish the next day.Dismal Rooms & Broken Amenities: The rooms were incredibly rundown. The sheets were so threadbare that I literally woke up with my toe poking through a hole, and my son's bedding was just as bad. The bedside light was broken, and the TV didn't work (accompanied by a casual apology from staff). To top it off, there was a passive-aggressive poster warning guests they would be charged if they stole room items. This was laughable, as only a fraction of the listed items were actually present, and everything was old or broken.Appalling Cleanliness: The shared tea and coffee facilities were left in the hallway with no water. The dirty cups and glasses left there on our arrival were still sitting there when we checked out three days later.The "Green Sludge" Pool: The pool area was a biohazard. The pool itself was completely out of service and filled with green sludge, surrounded by smelly, mouldy umbrellas.False Advertising at the Restaurant: Breakfast offered three nice options on paper, but you simply received whatever they happened to have that day. Dinner was a joke; I ordered the crispy fish with sauced vegetables and was served fish, dry rice, and a side of commercial tomato sauce because they "had no vegetables today.

    Mäßiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

    Die Lage war sehr gut, direkt am See und fußläufig zu vielen Restaurants/Cafés. Zimmer war geräumig (nur mit Ventilator, aber es ist auf der Hochebene kühl genug). Es gibt einen Waschservice gegen eine Gebühr. Das Frühstück war okay, aber nichts besonderes.

    Wir waren auf Sumatra viel in Homestays und anderen pragmatischen Unterkünften unterwegs und sind dadurch eigentlich nicht pingelig. Wir hatten allerdings bei dem Preis und den bisherigen Rezensionen eine deutlich andere Erwartungshaltung. Der Preis ist unverhältnismäßig hoch für das, was man bekommt. Dass der Pool renoviert wird, erfuhren wir erst nach der Buchung. Für uns eine besondere Enttäuschung, hatte ich doch extra wegen des Pools dieses Hotel gebucht und hätte sonst ein anderes ausgewählt. Man bot allen Gästen an, dass wir den Pool eines anderes Resorts inkl. kostenloser Softgetränke umsonst nutzen können und dort auch vom Hotel hingefahren werden (ca. 1km Entfernung) - das ist aber nicht das gleiche, als wenn man einfach spontan im eigenen Hotel an den Pool gehen kann. Das Personal war sehr bemüht, aber wirkte ziemlich unerfahren und auch nicht proaktiv. Die Räume und das Gebäude an sich wären eigentlich schön, aber sind inzwischen etwas in die Jahre gekommen und könnten eine Renovierung vertragen.

    Goede plek, maar voorzieningen zijn minder dan voorgespiegeld. Het ontbijt is karig.

    Het uitzicht

    Het zwem bleek stuk te zijn, daarover werden we enige dagen vooraf geïnformeerd, maar de situatie moet al langer zo geweest zijn.

    Der Aufenthalt war gut, das Hotelpersonal freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit.

    Ruhige Unterkunft! Besonders schön war der Blick auf den Lake Toba und das man direkt an der Unterkunft einen Anlegesteg hatte.
