Booking that turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life. The host Jhony was very helping with everything and was kind to sell me the tour for almost original price despite the fact that I’m a solo traveller. His student Lana became my guide in the jungle for two days, he was a great companion, took good care of everything, told many interesting facts and stories. We saw 9 orangutans and many other animals. Food that’s included for trekking was delicious, lots of fruits. The overall route is easy, but there were some challenging parts, and you have to be ready for inconveniences regarding sleeping or going to toilet, it’s not a luxury resort after all. Also rafting isn’t scary at all and super fun. The accommodation in the village was nice, especially for this price, bed has a curtain to protect you from insects.

This was such an amazing place. The owners Sarah and August welcomed us very friendly. We had a pickup at the bus station. The rooms were nice, spacious and comfortable. The food was tasty and for reasonable price. We did 3 days trekking with guide Bai and friends and had so much fun. We saw tons of animals including wild orangutan, siamangs, argus and turtles. The camping in nature was simple but very fun and the food was amazing. We felt like in a family. Thank you 🙂

We had an amazing stay at Batu Kapal Guest House! Bayu, Aji and the boys really made us feel at home. The location is truly beautiful, in the jungle with a nice river for swimming. The last day, there were even 3 orangutans in de trees just behind our room! The food was also great, we even got a small cooking class because we liked the BBQ chicken so much :) We will miss this place and hopefully we can come back one time!

Lovely spacious rooms with gorgeous balcony and view. Rooms were very clean with flushing toilets! Easy walk into town where there’s lots of restaurants and a supermarket.

Sounds and view of nature were wonderful. People were very kind and helpful. if you accept swimming in the river or showering in cool water, you will be satisfied. Janta helped us to arrange transport from and to the airport and gave us a wonderful guide Anuar for a two day trek full of unforgettable experiences.

We had a great time at Villa Cheeky Monkeys - the owners and all the staff are so friendly and enthusiastic, they’re like a big family. Food is amazing, we loved Chef Ellie‘s pancakes, the Nasi Goreng on the treks and a top notch Rendang! We stayed 4 nights and the bed was comfortable, the shower was nice and hot 😚 we did the half day trek and then the sunrise trek the next day, Rian was so knowledgeable but also really personable, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We saw some amazing things, my favourite being the white handed Gibbon and big Alpha male Orangutan 🦧 luck us 🍀 Rian had help from Sarol on the first trek and he‘s a cheeky monkey in the truest sense - always smiling, joking and screaming and singing when we went tubing down the river - what a ride 😆 the second trek was assisted by Andre, who is cool as a cucumber and has a really nice singing voice :) special shoutout also to Tondi for getting us from and to the airport safely. Oh and puppy Daisy 🥰

Martin and his staff were extremely warm and welcoming. I ended up having all my meals there and boy was I in for a treat. We went out and did some karaoke and a whole list of activities. There was a guide for each adventure. His guides are good and happy people.

    This is one of the first guesthouses around the river, which makes it a great spot after long travels because you don’t have to haul your luggage too far. Muhdi and his staff are very friendly, there is a great restaurant. You can book trekking through the guesthouse. The room was pretty big and my particular one was away from the street and therefor very quiet.

    Arif and Risky are great hosts. The hotel is 30 minutes walking into the jungle and in a nice quiet area. Al you can hear is the river flowing by, the animals and the rain on the roof Awesome jungle trekking with Wanda and Juli. And great local food at night made by Risky.

    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.
