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. The owner and staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. We felt very safe and welcome here. They cooked us lovely banana pancakes for breakfast and a lovely lunch.

Nicely located in rice fields and with fish ponds. Bayu is an excellent host. He organized everything (airport transfer, overland tour to Lake Toba, jungle trekking) very well. We would like to emphasize the lovely, experienced and super-supportive jungle trek team with Jajang, Dony and Henry. While Janang is very knowledgeable and showed us 7 Orang Utans, some Thomas Leaf‘s Monkeys and Brown-handed Gibbons, Dony and Herny, did everything to take my almost blind wife by their hands and guided her 6 hours through the jungle. They paid as much attention, that she did not stumble and fall. Bayu recommended to skip going south to Bukkitinggi and Padang in rainy saison and consider visiting Pulau Weh/Sabang. We followed his recommendation and it was an unique experience! Terima Kasih Bayu!

It was an amazing experience. The place is surrounded by astonishing nature, and not like in Bukit Lawang centre, where all the guest houses are located one by another, with limited privacy, here you can fully enjoy being really close to nature and having cosy, calm, private space. The rooms and public spaces are comfortably and aesthetically arranged. The owner and his team are extremely supportive and helpful, and can share plenty of inspiring stories and information about the treasures of the jungle :) and ecological behaviours which prevent harming the nature. Food is super tasty and available on the spot. I highly recommend also “jungle spa”, unforgettable experience! We have seen orangutan just few hundred meters for this place. And the river is by the property so you can take a swim any moment. You need to walk there a bit from Bukit Lawang centre but for me it was just another advantage of the place, the walk is easy (you can make it in sandals/flip-flops) and through the beautiful area.

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 🥰

I had a wonderful stay at Grandma guesthouse. Stayed for 3 nights, went on a multi day trek and then returned for one more night. My return felt like coming home. Yusuf and his family are very warm and welcoming, and will go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Organising the trekking and onward travel with Yusuf was super easy and very well organised. He also has a school for underprivileged children, which I went to visit and helped to teach English and played badminton with them. The girls also practise traditional dancing in the Warung connected to the guesthouse (which serves really cheap and tasty local food), so by staying here you will experience more than just the jungle, but also get an insight into the local community. A great experience that I’ll never forget. Thank you Yusuf and family!

    Alek is the most helpful homestay host we have had. He managed to sort out our 3D2N trek the night before we wanted to go and he lent us his bike to travel to an ATM. The location is ideal and lots of nice places to eat right outside. Well worth the price!!
