When you get to Kedisan village there are some fine hotels not far from the lake. there are also some restaurants around and one floating restaurant on the lake. The hotel where i stayed, Hotel Surya has about 20 rooms which are standard and bungalow rooms. One standard room is 150k for two people in it. if you are three people you will be charged 200k per room.

There may be some people offer you a trekking trip and say they are the trekking guide and tell you the price, don't ever believe on them. Because they may charge you much more expensive than how much it supposed to be.
