Jalan Orangutan Bukit Lawang, 20774 Bukit Lawang, Indonesia –

Lock in a great price for Sam's Bungalow – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything was simply more than what we had in mind. Sam's is located at the almost end of the river bank which makes it perfect for that peaceful, beautiful nature to be enjoyed with no disruption. Be sure to wake up early to have a walk by the river banks and you'll discover a little wonder. The trail, scenery, atmosphere is nothing short of BEAUTIFUL. The room was bigger than expected and the bathroom was big and airy with a rain-shower and stones to step on. A little reflexology while showering never hurts. Staff were super friendly and food was Great!

The luxury rooms are much better and great value. The location is very good.

Erwin, Switzerland

Amazing location outside of the busy part of town, and a beautiful spot on the river! We had a view of the jungle and the river from our balcony. Very comfortable bed and amazing and friendly staff! Very yummy food and lovely view of the river/jungle from the restaurant. Loved it so much at Sams, would highly recommend!!

Antonia, Canada

Peaceful location, clean reasonably prices rooms. Very accommodating staff . Meals at the restaurant were reasonably prices with the exception of meat dishes. Excellent fresh juices and milk shakes.

Everything. The service and friendliness from Sam and Pippit made us fall in love with Sumatra. Tee had the most amazing experience at Sam's bungalow. Best location in Bukit Lawang, you get the breeze and have a private spot in the river. Best food in Bukit Lawang, even people from other guesthouses were coming here to eat Best jungle tour. We saw 20 orangutans in the overnight trek, the food was amazing and the tents in the jungle very comfortable. We had a once in a lifetime experience. We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying 5 nights in total and we are already kissing this place. Stay here if you want to truly live the Jungle Dream.

I will make it simple. This is the best place we have stayed in the entire world. The perfect definition of Jungle Dream and the absolute BEST location in Bukit Lawang. Sorry to say but if you come to Bukit Lawang and you don't stay here then you are not very smart. Sam and Pippit, the owners, are the nicest people we have met in Indonesia and the service of Sam's Bungalow is worthy of a five star resort. We had the time of our lives, the jungle dream seeing more than 20 wild orangutans and staying overnight in a beautiful camp in the jungle next to the river. While we were taking a swim before returning we even had the chance to see a mother orangutan with her baby!!!!! On top of that, the food at Sam's is the best in town and probably in Indonesia We booked 2 nights but liked it so much that ended up staying for 5 nights. Best place ever!!!

Alejandro, Netherlands

Best location in Bukit Lawang, friendly staff, good food.

Kenneth, Indonesia

Great staff, excellent view, quietest guesthouse in Bukit Lawang

Kenneth, Indonesia

Quietest location in Bukit Lawang, staff are friendly and attentive but not obtrusive or insincere like many other hotels in the area. We live in Indonesia and have stayed here three times. No sales pressure to take a trek like in many other hotels. Great view from the restaurant. All room balconies have partial view of the jungle. No hotels on the opposite site of the river. It is a truly family-owned business run by nice folks.

Kenneth, Indonesia

Staff so friendly. Very knowledgable and helpful. Great food at the restaurant too!
