Cottages in Bukit Lawang

Words can’t fully express how amazing our experience at Lucky Bamboo was. Johny, Kela, Obi, and their family (yes, even the family dog that we love) made us feel like we were reconnecting with long-lost relatives. It was truly one of those magical travel experiences that remind us why we love exploring the world. The three days we spent there flew by in the blink of an eye. The jungle trek with Kela was unforgettable—he knows the forest like the back of his hand and shared so much fascinating information with us. He answered all our questions with incredible patience and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. The way he prepared our fruits and meals was fantastic. Ending the trek with a river journey back was the cherry on top of an already perfect experience. We’re so glad we did it! As for the room, if you need a bit more space, definitely ask Johny for Room 1—it’s perfect for two. Yes, it can be a little damp, especially during the rainy season, but that’s part of the charm of staying in a bamboo hut surrounded by nature. The room was clean, and while there’s only cold water, it felt perfect for the natural setting. What was really important for us was that they had a mosquito net! Plus, the family-like atmosphere more than made up for any small inconveniences—we wouldn’t trade it for anything. If you’re open to trying local breakfast options, they source delicious lontong sayur and other local dishes. The family truly goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable—you just need to ask. Lucky Bamboo was hands down the best highlight of our Sumatra trip. We can’t wait to come back! P.s did I even mention they have the loveliest garden?

What an amazing oasis it is ❤️. Asniar the owner is a great host too. Will definitely go back

We had a fantastic time with Sumatra Orangutan Trek. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The jungle trek was unforgettable. We saw several orangutans, gibbons, and other monkeys. The guides were knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the environment, always respectful of the wildlife. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel at home right away. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. A perfect way to experience the jungle in a responsible and memorable way.
