Hotel Carolina is set on the edge of Lake Toba, with a spectacular view. A little swimming area off the garden makes it a fun place to splash and play, and there were a few families and groups of young people doing so during our stay. It has a great atmosphere in this garden area, with large overgrown trees and... More

Carolina is a good place for those who are traveling for a night or on a tight budget. The rooms were run down with no fan nor A/C causing poor ventilation at night when the doors are shut. The toilet was a nightmare. The door was badly eaten by termites. The water heater worked intermittently (be sure to check upon... More

I stopped in here for a juice one day. There is not much of a view of the water. There were ants everywhere(literally hundreds). Staff were indifferent. Juice was disgusting and the most shocking part is that this is one of the most expensive places to stay on the island. Judging by the staff and presentation of the restaurant and... More

Stayed there 3 nights end April. Was here 16 years ago and it was by far the best. Very sad this has changed. No doubt, the price is good (200,000 IDR/night), the setting, the view over the lake, the little garden, the sea access for swimming, the buildings' architecture and the view of the buildings from outside is all great...

Staff is not friendly, food was okay but not the best, room is just standart & not very clean, but once again for me the amazing view is why I choose... More

I paid 210,000 rupiah per night for a deluxe room with hot water and refrigerator close to the lakefront (hotel accepts credit cards with no surcharge!). Room is large and clean and comfortable with a porch to view the lake. Beautiful environment around the hotel, with trees and flowers and a fishpond. The ferry from Parapat will drop you right...

I stayed at the "Carolina Cottages", which also seems to be called the Hotel Carolina and Carolina Hotel, for a group bike trip. My group of 24 stayed here for 2 nights. We enjoyed ourselves immensely mainly because, 1) the views were amazing, 2) the food was good, 3) swimming in the lake was easy and very pleasant, and 4)... More

Right obviously next to the lake with beautiful views from the rooms and bungalows. All the staff were excellent, helpful absolutely, food very,very good no fault there, however the owners need to address the problem of the rooms looking a little tired,
