Cabins in Bukit Lawang

It is a fantastic jungle lodge with plenty of monkeys around, just by the National Park. Excellent food, helpful staff, and owner Dedi who is the mastermind behind this family business: He had the bungalows built on the family grounds (a small rubber plantation), he organizes jungle tours or transport. For us he arranged to see Orang Utans in the wild, a driver for one week, airport transfer and porters for our (too) heavy luggage, because you only reach the bungslows on foot by climbing 10-15 minutes of steps on a hill side.

We enjoyed it here so much, we extended our stay. It is very close to the nature, if you are lucky you can see Orang-Utans and other monkeys in the garden. The river is very close and you can hear it in the evening.

If you want to see orangutans in Bukit Lawang, stop looking, this is the place! The hotel is rustic and beautiful, it is next to the river and the views of the jungle from the bedroom window are incredible! From here we saw orangutans, gibbons, monkeys, langurs, butterflies and birds without having to move. It includes breakfast, and in the restaurant they serve the best curry in town! The staff always attend you with a smile and are willing to help you with whatever you need at all times, we leave with a full heart, thank you very much Pepen, Lina, Inaka, Dani, Rini, Safii, Kolik, Pindo, Ifan and of course Riko (we have a chess match pending, the definition) And if you want to do the tour and enter the national park to explore the wonders of the incredible jungle of Sumatra, well, I must say that here they have the most professional team of all! We spent 3 days and 2 nights in the jungle, with the best guides in Bukit Lawang: Rio and Jerry! They accompany you, teach you and take care of you, they care about protecting the environment and the surroundings, proud of their culture and with a smile all day, attentive to us living one of the best experiences of our entire trip through Southeast Asia. Thanks also to Jill for an amazing dining experience in the middle of the jungle, we never imagined we would eat so well! You have a great team Sean, thank you so much! Finally, thank you Brigitte for organizing everything and making our stay a unique and unforgettable experience! @nomadesylocos

Fantastic location on the border of the jungle with great views. Despite the restaurant being gone due to a fire a week ago they still managed to serve us neals and generally being very welcoming with a nice disposition. Jungle trek intelligently adapted to our ability. Managed 2 good orangutan sightings. Very satisfied witj our stay.

The accommodation is set in the forest across the rope bridge close to a transport hub and local shops, cafes where u can buy snack and drinks were u are supporting the local community. The room was clean and well presented the shower had tepid water which is exactly what is required. Mosquito net proved over the bed. The restaurant venue is hi completely constructed with bamboo it is open and airy with a lovely view of the river it also has a great food menu and bar with good service, the Wi-Fi in this area is very good, there is no Wi-Fi in the rooms which we enjoyed :-) Breakfast was nice and plenty of coffee. It’s only a 20m walk down to the river for a lovely swim. We did a single day’s trek in to jungle booked through the hotel after arrival. We walking from the lodge, we saw 5 Orangutans and the Alpha Male plus another 3 different type’s of monkeys all this was in the first few hours, the lunch was nice fruit and rice our guide was Aldo who was young but very professional ( highly recommend) he was smartly dressed fully equipped with a first aid kit ( leeches) and also spoke English it was a pleasure to be in his company. We really enjoyed our stay of 3 nights thanks to all the staff We were also there over the weekend no karaoke from across the river

we were trekking for 6 days, we were really satisfied, there were lots of animals, we saw orangutans, deer, bears, Thomas leaf moncy, and we were very lucky because we saw wild elephants, good guides name baek and ongat who cooked for us in the forest

Thank you for lovely stay. Udin took care of everything and his sons were on the trip to jungle with us. Balu was very kind and helpful, he tried his best to find the orangutans and he knew a lot about the animals. The lodges are in the jungle, we saw Thomas Leaf monkeys on the way there. There is running water where you can shower yourself, and clean toilet. There are beds with mosqito nets. There is no electricity, and quite weak signal. But if you want to stay in the djungle, by the camp fire watching fireflies, this location is the best. The views to the djungle are amazing, and sunrises are astonishing.
