MalaysiaThe host very friendly. And amazingly they provide a room for our driver (supir). Niceeee place to stay! My nieces and nephew really enjoy our stay here. They got rabbits, chicken and can feed the pets with fresh veges, pick by your own. They have mini farm too! Amazing view of Lake Toba. Breakfast was so delicious! We had egg sandwich and pancakes. Big egg sandwich👍👍👍 they will send the food to your unit. Overall, it was beyond our expectations and sooooo GOOD! Thank you Mian & Mr. Bakker!👍👏
MalaysiaThe breakfast was great! There were enough choices to choose and they're quick enough in serving it.
IndonesiaOrganic plant, fishing, home style and food for dinner
ThailandThe hospitality given by the host was superb and we are overwhelmed by the friendliness of the people there. Host provided us local traveling tips and serves very good dinner upon our arrival. Really glad that they have free kayaking, and guests get to do fishing within the area. The view was beautiful and we love how they are managing the home.
MalaysiaWe love everything about this place! Super warm hospitality by owner and the staffs! Super children below 12 friendly. In all we enjoyed our stay there and had already spreading words to our friends. In fact, we are beginning to talk about going again with other family members!
SingaporeThe owners take time to explain the facilities and give some recommendations for sightseeing. Staff is friendly. The meal provided is simple and cook according to your needs but tasty. The "sambal belacan" (chillies) is fantastic! The planted orchids add bonus to the environment.
MalaysiaLovely garden setting, very friendly staff. Nice breakfast
New ZealandThe best resort we ever encountered. We had so much fun, relaxation and rest in the home. The owners and workers were so friendly and accommodating... There were friendly animals to keep us company. Facilities to keep us entertained (kayaking, swimming). And massage arranged in our house. The food was the best we had throughout our trip in Samosir. Miya, the owner was very nice to suggest some clean food as one of our friend had allergy... The view of our house was superb! We look forward to the morning sunrise view.... I couldn't comment more except that we will definitely be back! And we are so looking forward to our next one! Missing the home very much!
MalaysiaBrilliant location on the lake beach, great facilities like family boat, kayak, paddle boat, etc. at no extra cost. The Horas team is very friendly and accommodating, cannot fault them, for example; whenever we asked for breakfast to be served at certain time... there it is, right on the clock with our breakfast, with vegetables that’s just been picked from their organic garden. They are also very knowledgeable about the localities so you can seek guidance before setting off for the day adventure. We love lake Toba and plan to come back, and for sure we will stay at Horas Family Home again.

Horas Family Home is located in one of the most popular parts of Tuk Tuk. Within 5 minutes walking distance you will find 8 restaurants with menus varying between pure local Batak food to Western vegetarian. Within the same distance you find a vegetable and fruit shop, a grocery, and various souvenir shops. Reportedly Horas Family Home has the best kitchen in Tuk Tuk, but we only cook for guests actually staying with us. The perfect rather cool, but not too cold, climate gives you the opportunity for a relaxing, refreshing time away from home in a mountainous, rural, safe and quiet place. Horas Family Home caters especially for families with children and small groups of friends, ideally 4 to 6 guests. Horas Family Home includes free fishing in our pond, swimming, kayaking and free use of the Horas Family Boat and a private sundeck at the Lake. One of our major attractions for children is that we have rabbits, chicken, fishes, cats and dogs. Of course you are most welcome to enjoy for free the produce of our organic vegetable garden. Take your pictures of our Orchids and other flowers. Horas is the place for bird and butterfly watching.
We like to do things as natural as possible and operate our property almost as a closed full circle system. We don’t consider water hyacinth as a menace but as a treasure grove which we harvest from the Lake and grow in our ponds. The good things about water hyacinth are that they have really beautiful flowers, provide an excellent hiding place for small fish, provide natural water treatment and last but not least it is perfect for composting. Compost being one of the key elements for our organic gardening. The produce is freely available for our guests. The green leftovers are food for our rabbits, and after processing their food the rabbits produce excellent waste for mixing with the compost. Of course the bunnies are always ready to be cuddled by our younger guests. Most of the kitchen leftovers end up as food for our fish and the fish ending up on the BBQ. Guests are allowed to fish in our fish ponds and catch their own catch of the day without any charge.
The most interesting of Tuk Tuk / Samosir is that we are located in the middle of the largest and deepest fresh water Lake in South East Asia. The Lake filled the crater of the major Toba Vulcano Eruption some 75.000 years ago. The people living around Lake Toba call themselves Toba Bataks. They are unique in the sense that they have a different origin than the regular Sumatrans and they have their own language and culture. The King’s Tomb in Tomok and the Stone Chairs in Ambarita highlight this culture and are popular destination for guests visiting Samosir. Reportedly, at Horas Family Home we have the biggest variety of Orchids in one place in North Sumatra both in hybrids and species. Guests, interested in Orchids, are welcome to help and assist our staff in their normal daily activities such as, cleaning, splitting and repotting orchids. By quite a few guests this has been referred to as a Free of Charge Orchid Treatment Class.
