At the guest house, every unit is equipped with a wardrobe. A patio with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in all units. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels.

I stayed at the place for 2 nights, had a great tour with two guides working with the cheeky monkey. We saw monkeys, Orangutans(my two guides found them after about 2 hours of Trekking in the jungle), turtle, insects, plants, did a great tour for one day. Including rafting for about +/- 50 Euros/USD. The food in the cheeky monkey is quite expensive compared to other places in bukit lawang but it was really good. It definitely a recommendation, try the Gado-Gado - a vegetarian food. Chris from Austria

Fun Family Guest House n Jungle Tour is offering accommodation in Bukit Lawang. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. This 2-star guest house offers private entrance.

Accommodation with a great view and a great restaurant right across the river. The owner, Putra, was very helpful and positive. There was nothing he couldn't arrange. I especially recommend going on a jungle trek with him because he definitely knows what he's doing.

Located in Bukit Lawang in the Sumatra region, Jhony's Backpacker-Guest House & jungle tour features a terrace. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

I stayed 1 night here, it was really good and comfy. Jhony, who is owner here. he is very kind and welcoming. Bukit Lawang is small country side, so it is hard to expect high quality of facilities as like as cities. No AC but I couldn’t really feel it is hot because of fan. And he offered Jungle trekking guide as well. It was a bit pricey for guiding in this area but you might can get good prices if you negotiate with him. I saw wild orangutans and other monkeys! He has good knowledge about nature.

    Junia Guest house is a beautiful location to stay if you want to see some of bukit lawang or explore the jungle. Our host, Tony, made sure everything was arranged perfectly. I highly recommend the jungle trek, this was a great experience and also nice to learn about the jungle and it’s animals. I also recommend doing a tour to see the farmlands around bukit lawang! Great to see the way the locals live and you’ll see places you’ll probably miss otherwise

    The guesthouse is perfectly located on the riverfront, a short walk away from the bus station. Putra and his family are very kind and thoughtful hosts, and I felt thoroughly looked after during my stay - they really went above and beyond. The room was comfortable and excellent value for money. The real highlight though was the superb jungle trekking. Putra and Darwan were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the plants and animals we saw and the trip was a lot of fun. Food was great too.

    We had a great time at the guesthouse. Brian is a great host and is mindful of his community and the environment. He invests in those who have need of it. We arranged our jungletrek through Brian and had a great time spending two nights on the jungle with Brosit and the guys. We lacked nothing and learned a lot about the animals we saw. Great experience!

    I made a 2-day 1-night visit to Bukit Lawang and the jungle with a colleague on short notice. We both had our own little cottage. Asim Paris Guesthouse arranged the transport to Bukit Lawang, the jungle tour, and the transport to Medan Airport. We enjoyed the dinner at the guesthouse. Also the breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit was really nice. During the jungle tour with tour guides Bim(bo) and Martin we spotted a lot of Urangutans and other monkeys. Overall we had a short but very nice stay.

    Putra goes above and beyond to let you feel welcome. He is a great host. He picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station when I arrived and left. I could use the room until I came back from the without paying an extra night.

    The Aussie’s guesthouse is ideally located, in a quiet place along the river. Ideally located to enjoy swimming, explore the village or start a little trek along the river. The same team is also made of «  Jungle professionals » and will accompany you, may you wish to discover the orang-outans’ habitat. We found our 3 days trek absolutely amazing. Team is simply fantastic and will do its upmost best to make you feel at home, as well. The room was beautiful and very spacious

    The bungalows are super cute! The hosts are lovely, speak excellent English, and organised a pick-up from the bus station. You can get some food and drinks at the guesthouse for cheap, and the walking street is not far. Room and bathroom are kept clean. Basic room, but comfortable. Only three bungalows, so it can be booked out very fast!

    The guesthouse was at a great location and the host was very friendly and organized anything you needed. We did 2 day trek and everything was great. We saw many animals (including orangutans) and had plenty of food - the guide Tambrin and his assistant put lot of effort into making it the best time for you. Definitely recommend going on this trek with Tambrin!

    Great location in Bukit Lawang, lovely grounds and outlook directly over the river. Beautiful teak rooms with outstanding bathroom facilities. Rooms and the whole guesthouse are spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds and importantly, a quiet room upstairs . Indra and Nana, and all the staff are wonderful, and very friendly. The restaurant food is great - you wouldn't even need to go elsewhere to eat. Thankyou Indra and Nana.
