Friendly, relaxed place with good food.

Bagus Bay is a really friendly inexpensive place to stay. It’s nicer than it looks in the photos and has great food. Easy to be here alone and a very short walk from the ferry drop off point (the first one) Highly recommend.

I didn't like the fact that when I reserved the room online that it didn't come with a private bathroom. I then upgraded ar a huge price difference to a room that was designed for a person less than 5' tall. I had to stoop so low to enter and even to walk around in the room. I hit my head 5 times while entering and exiting the room

Convenient for ferry

On arrival bit of confusion with our room booking but sorted later by very friendly & helpful alternative staff member (who was lovely, spoke good English & was cheerful) 🐜🐜 Discovered we had an Ant colony living in our Toilet & those sun loungers pictured really do need a lot of TLC! Outdoor Dining area / garden ok but we’re disappointed in condition of guest house overall (but we’d just come from very well-maintained accommodation 10 mins scooper ride away!)

Value for money! The location is very easy and convenient to get there from Parapat as it was just next to the ferry pier, shops and restaurants. The room same as they showed in pictures. Room is clean and comfort with a mosquito net. Unfortunately no fan and suggested to provide a pair of slipper too.

LOVED!! This place is really cute, quiet and well located. There's a bike rental right across the street, restaurant inside the property with affordable, delicious dishes, good variety too! One of the friendliest staff we've encountered. Really recommend to stay there.

The perfect getaway

Bagus Bay Guest House is without the doubt the most touristic place to stay in Samosir Island, which makes it one of the most touristic places in Sumatra, even during the wet season. The location is amazing - the guesthouse is located just next to the ferry pier, so it is really convenient to get there from Parapat. We were a bit surprised to see that there is no aircon in the room - and relieved to realise that it's not necessary! The room had a very pleasant temperature throughout our entire stay. The photos don't do justice, in reality it has looked much better. Our only complaint would be the mosquito net, as it was not possible to cover 100% of the bed, there were always some holes, albeit small. The restaurant in the guesthouse is quite expensive by the local standards, but it's one of the best in town. Try to stay there on Wednesday or on Saturday, as there is a showcase of the local Batak dances and music.
