The location, the view, the quietness, the facilities, the comfy beds. And more than anything the people. I stayed in 4-5 different places in Padang, this is easily where I would always come back. This place is really about hope and love.

Our stay at Rambai Tree lodges was magical. Tia was incredibly helpful and the people in general who work for Rambai and within Bukit Lawang are so so lovely. She helped sort us out with a guide to go and see the Oragutans and we managed to see 8 of them in one day. The guides are knowledgeable, interesting and passionate giving a wonderful overall experience. The food was exceptional and Tia is a phenomenal cook, always providing us with delicious fresh fruit afterwards. The location was exceptional, right on the edge of the National Park and with the roaring sound of the river outside, it was big, clean and comfortable. When we arrived we were greeted by Thomas Leaf monkeys on our porch, it was truly magical and I would recommend this place in a heart beat.

The stay was perfect. The room was very comfortable and the location was excellent. The breakfast was great and the people were so helpful and friendly. Very well organized, Dedy Cool letting us know in advance the distance from the airport and helping with getting to the hotel. We did the one day tour and it was provided by fantastic tour guides who were extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest and Orangutangs. We would highly recommend.

The owner was super helpful and was eager to answer any questions through WhatsApp from the moment we booked. Getting a trek was super easy through him once we arrived and the trek was amazing. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to always be the first to spot an orangutan out of nowhere. Example: "I smell orangutan poo. Give me one second." Then runs off for two minutes and beckons us over pointing up at the tree to a mama and baby very early on. The bed in our room was amazing. Like a firm memory foam. Same for the pillow. For me, that is an ideal sleep. And the location was great. It was right in the middle of the village, so it was about the same distance left or right to the end of the strip. Can't beat the price.

Easily the best location from all the homestays we saw on the island, beautiful beach in front of the house. Decent bule style breakfast (pancakes, toast, avocado/egg sourdough sandwich, plenty of fruits). Paddleboard available for guests. The owner helped us with renting motorbikes. The staff is lovely, helped us with chartering a boat at decent price to go back to Padang when the fast feery got cancelled:)

Great place to stay close to Padang and Mentawai. The room is very comfortable. AC works well. Breakfast is delicious. The area is surrounded by rice fields and it’s very beautiful to walk around for the sunset. Dila is very kind and welcoming. She borrowed us her scooter to go to the city center and she advised us on few restaurants and cafes. And we also had a chance to spend a day together. Dila showed us around Padang .. beautiful waterfall, jungles hike. The place is calm and we had a good rest. Totally recommend!

The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. We've stayed "only" 1 week, but felt straight at home and made good friends with the staff. We also did the 2-day jungletrekking with Wanda, who has more than 30 years experience in the jungle and knows everything. The food was delicious and the garden and the views from the top room were amazing. If you love nature, for us this is the best place to stay in Bukit Lawang. Special thanks to Risky, Arif, Kiki, Meri.

Room is super nice and has a great location, close by everything. People here are super nice, always smilling and telling you about the places you should visit. Trekking in jungle is the best activity to do and the guides know a lot about the jungle and animals. Amazing place to stay in Sumatra

Perfect place to stay in Bukit Lawang. We did the two days treck in the jungle. We were lucky to see so much orang-outan and gibbon. The room was comfortable and just in front of the restaurant, you can swim in the river. Thanks to Johnny and Kela.

The absolute best place to stay on Palau Weh.😊 If you can get in and want a truly memorable experience this is your place. Yuyun and Borja are the perfect hosts nothing is too much trouble, they booked us on a fantastic tour and everything they recommend was amazing. Yuyun is a great cook and the restaurant has a fantastic view as do the rooms.

The building and garden are stunning. The swimming pool is clean and in a very private location with comfortable chairs. The room was clean and well equipped. The food on the whole was very nice. They do serve fantastic coffee! We also really enjoyed our breakfast with some good choices. The location is quiet but far from the city centre which didn't bother us.

Nothing is too much trouble for them! The rooftop chilli-out area is a big bonus too! Thanks for a great stay in Padang & I hope to see you all again one day! ☺

It is the best place to stay in Tuk Tuk! The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is very good! You have Indonesian food but also western food (that you can miss if you are travelling for a long time). I couldn’t stop eating because I wanted to try everything! The staff is very welcoming and helpful in case of needs. Last but not least, you can meet so many great people from all over the world travelling to Toba Lake. We met so nice people staying in this place!

Padi is a magical place in the middle of the rice fields and just outside the city center (15 minutes walk). The rooms are confortable, the food is delicious (especially the banana pancakes for breakfast) and the staff is AMAZING. Everyone was super friendly, great guides on tours and experienced drivers. Thank you for the lovely stay!
