Hotel Silintong, Tuk Tuk.
Hotel Silintong is a lovely hotel on the eastern tip of Tuk Tuk on Samosir Island, in Lake Toba. This is where I stayed, with a small group of AsiaExplorers members, when we explored Samosir Island.
The location of Hotel Silintong is just perfect, and the hotel itself is meticulously upkept with lots of flowering plants, especially orchids of various types. Considering the abundance of orchids at the hotel, the management even put up a sign saying that the orchids are not for sale. In front of Hotel Silintong is a lily pond (it seems to be fairly common on this part of Samosir, as I saw one at the Bagus Bay guesthouse too).
The rooms at Hotel Silintong is fairly comfortable, but surprisingly, without air conditioning. This is something which I noticed about the hotels in North Sumatran highlands, even those that appear to be at the top range. They seem to expect that the air is cool enough for the tourists. Except for Berastagi, I find that the other towns are not high enough for the hotels to do away with the need for air conditioning. Nevertheless, the views more than made up for this minor inconvenience.
What I love most about Hotel Silintong is of course the view. From this tip of the peninsula, you can get great views of the eastern bank of Lake Toba. At certain times of the day, especially at dawn and dusk, the scenery is simply gorgeous. So if you are coming to Lake Toba, and staying on Samosir Island, I would recommend that you put up at Hotel Silintong, or any of the other hotels and guesthouses at the tip of Tuk Tuk peninsula.

There's such a profusion of orchid being grown all over Hotel Silintong that guests may mistaken them as being for sale.
There are many stops to sit and enjoy the scenery.
