TheJungleGuide - Lodges & Treks has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and restaurant in Bukit Lawang. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a water park. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Comfy beds, sweet, friendly hosts/workers who were very accommodating, the huts are very cool looking (hammocks). It’s amazing they’re really in the jungle but still nearby where you wanna be. A good price for what you get. Washrooms are nice and clean. Everyone hangs out in the main shared area (restaurant area) and plays guitar and plays cards in the evening (but not too late, quiet hours are respected). During the rainy season, you can swim in the pools of the waterfall that is literally one second away from the lodge.

The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Fantastic guest house. We actually saw Thomas Leaf Monkey's in the garden on our arrival : ) Brian & Sarah were fantastic. Very welcoming and helpful, as were the whole team. The jungle trek (we did 2D1N) was incredible. We saw so many animals. The guides, Jerry & Gunar were brilliant and loads of fun too. Plus the food provided during the trek was delicious. Highly recommend using these guys.

Ecotourism Bukit Lawang Bungalow is located in Bukit Lawang and features a garden and a terrace. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the inn, every room has a wardrobe and a balcony with a mountain view. All units at Ecotourism Bukit Lawang Bungalow are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. I loved my stay here! The bungalows are cosy and comfortable, located in a quiet area of forest away (but not too far) from the business of Bukit Lawang centre. There’s also a lovely river swimming spot just 5 min walk away! What made my time here the best was the kindness of Putra, Maya, and Fitraya. They are all lovely and make sure you feel at home. Not to mention, the food is amazing (especially the Chicken Rendang!) I did the 3 day 2 night trek with Putra and had such a fantastic time - he clearly knows a lot and cares for the jungle, it was such an awesome experience. I can’t wait to come back again 🙂 Terima kasih 🙏
