Zoé’s Paradise Waterfront Hotel

We got the cutest and most colourful ferry from Parapat to Zoes Paradise Hotel. Rooms was huge. Massive double bed...so comfy. Room nice and clean. Good size bathroom with waterfall shower. Beautiful view overlooking the Lake. The pool was lovely and clean and we even went down the slide. A massage with Lenny is a MUST!! Best massage I've had.....she knows which points to press!! Such a professional and lovely lady and very cheap! Staff in this hotel are so so nice and helpful. They would do anything for you. Lovely breakfast overlooking pool. Great location with restaurants and coffee shops all around. We got an incredible day and a half local tour with Rio from Alyssa Restaurant just round the corner from our hotel.....highly recommend!!! All in all a fabulous place and would love to come back!

This hotel was the break we needed after a jungle trek in bukit lawang. It was really clean and confortable, a large bedroom with a terrace and a european style bathroom. The staff was adorable, always available to help you. The hotel proposes several activities like renting a scooter, banana boat, jetsky, etc. which was pretty convenient (+kayaks from the hotel are free). There was almost nobody in our hotel in mid-september, we had the swimming pool only for us. And breakfast is really great, a lot of choice!

Thank U very much for a really nice and pleasant stay! We loved it all... the rooms a very nice, the staff are so sweet and helpful and we loved the location. The ferry dropped us of directly at hotels small habor, really a great service. Nice food and good facilities! Thank U very much, hope to see you again!

This place is really amazing Very good food as well and important the room very clean and the staff was very friendly I love it so much here We were staying for 3 nights with my wife and my daughter 4 years old We really had good time in this place We hope we will be back there someday

The friendliness and hospitality of the people working there were what stood out in this hotel; amazing! When one of our towels was missing, the staff immediately ran, to come back with three more. The breakfast was also good, and the rooms were tidy and clean. The dinner, and the overall ordering of drinks, took quite long though, and the menu was not very varied. However, the views over the bay, especially at dawn, were priceless. Overall, an excellent experience.

Loved the place! It's peaceful and relaxing. The staff are lovely and speak english. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and offer a private balcony with a fabulous view. The food at the restaurant is nice. The absence of aircon was not a problem for us, and we appreciated having access to water dispensers rather than plastic bottles. Overall, we'll recommend Zoe's Paradise to our travel agent.

I honestly cannot praise Zoe’s Paradise enough. We only had 3 full days there for my birthday but from the moment we arrived they treated us like old friends. Something about Zoe’s Paradise and the tranquil lake just feels like ‘home’. If peace is what your soul is searching for, look no further. The hotel is charming and the staff are so sweet and polite - they even made me a breakfast birthday cake and sang happy birthday to me . The view of the lake is beautiful and it’s a real treat to eat the delicious breakfast with that view every morning. The beds are comfortable and the weather is cool enough at night that you can sleep with the door or window open. I love how they are the only sustainable hotel on the island - no bottled water here, there are water dispensers on every floor. The wonderful massages in the treehouse above the pool are an absolute bargain, and I highly recommend an all day tour with Mike, the husband of Marlene the owner. A descendant of past-royalty, Mike has access to parts of the island that no other guide has access to, and it’s absolutely fascinating, and humbling, to visit traditional villages and enter real people’s houses to see how they live. A special thank you to Marlene and Mike (and the introduction to local palm wine!), and Melanie the manager for their warmth and hospitality. You and the lake have all stolen my heart and we will be seeing you again!

Loved my stay at this cute hotel right on Lake Toba. The staff were all lovely, made me feel very welcome. The days started with an incredible breakfast spread including fruit, cake, juice and a choice of Western or Indonesian breakfast. And the coffee was so good, I ended up buying a kg of local beans from the markets. The hotel has a relaxed vibe, whether you’re enjoying the views from the balcony of the room or lying on a lounge chair by the pool. Massages are available on site and I highly recommend them! Went on a tour of the island, amazing nature and interesting Batak houses and villages. Dinner at the hotel was also delicious, the chef and his team can accommodate both Indonesian and European tastes. Overall, a fantastic choice for a relaxing stay at Lake Toba!

We are family of four, and had a blast staying in this place. The view from our balconies are.. breathtaking! That wall of mountain… All staff are amazingly patient, courteous, and friendly as well.. front desk, housekeeping, restaurant.. And would also like to reserve special kudos to the abang (with pony tail) that helps us with kayak’s preparation.. turning on slide’s water upon seeing us arriving on pool, and also observed his diligence on pool cleaning every single morning we were there, he deserves a raise! :) Hope I can return here! it however takes a bit of effort to travel to this location from Medan though (6 hours), but of course it’s not related to my stay in this place. Keep up the good work!
