BOBOCABIN SIGNATURE TOBA — Hotel in Sumatra

Nestled amidst the beatufiul landscapes surrounding Lake Toba, this place offers an comforting escape into nature's embrace. With its breathtaking views and ample photo opportunities, this haven is a haven for nature enthusiasts and shutterbugs alike.

Whether you prefer the rustic charm of glamping or the cozy comfort of a cabin, this place has something for everyone. Their glamping tents provide a unique back-to-nature experience, while their cabins, though embracing the tiny home living concept, still ensure a comfortable stay. Equipped with a control panel that adjusts lighting, window blurriness, and even plays nature background sounds for meditation or sleep, these cabins offer a truly immersive retreat.

While the on-site cafe is a bit of a trek and closes early, fret not! This place encourages guests to gather around the crackling campfire and create their own unforgettable campfire cooking under the starlit sky. Whether it's a sizzling barbecue or a hearty steamboat, all the necessary ingredients can be conveniently purchased on-site, with the help of their friendly and attentive staff, available 24/7 to cater to your camping needs. While breakfast is available, it might not suit everyone's taste, so bringing along your own morning meal is recommended.

Service is excellent, the staffs are friendly and attentive.

This is located on Kaldera Hill. Access is not hard.

Room / cabin itself was good and has good features such as hot water, Bluetooth speaker, blurred window, electric kettle, etc.. However, do avoid cabin number 6 as it's located behind other cabin, and the view was other cabins and main access way. I was staying on cabin number 6, and this was the only negative experience during my stay. Best cabin seemed to be number 7, while number 6 is directly looking at cabin 5 & 7. I can't really enjoy the stunning view from my cabin, but I can instead enjoy viewing (and viewed by) other people, especially who stays on cabin 5. Would suggest for the management to avoid selling cabin number 6 due to this negative experience.

Food was satisfactory, but nothing special. They offer bbq service for dinner.

Overall, it's a nice experience and would stay there again once Kaldera is even better, but...

Bobocabin was a great surprise. Cosy, comfortable and nestled in nature, it was really relaxing and good for the soul! They also have add ons that we tried, like having a barbecue on our patio, and a bonfire with smores :)

Some suggestions for improvement: Offer vegetarian options. The place is far from anywhere else and has no vegetarian food. Luckily, there were some dishes that could be easily tweaked to be vegetarian, if you're not strict.

Put up a sign near forest trails to warn about possible wild dogs. We were chased by a wild dog when in the forest. 😅

Repair the touch screen sensor panel for the toilet lights. It was really difficult to press the panel in just the right way to switch the lights off. Had to sleep with bright light on our eyes. Or perhaps provide a manual switch. Guests can bring an eye mask...
