The staff were all very friendly. The rooms were clean and it’s right on the river with really nice views. The staff also helped me get to my driver and got up extra early to make me breakfast before my 15 hour journey. Thank you

The location is great- up the river from town, this area is a sweet little, casual community with the jungle right across the water, a stream to bathe and swim in, excellent staff, cool rooms with balconies, and naughty macaques! The staff herd is amazing- helpful, fun, and ready to help. This was the first time I extended my stay anywhere! Thank you Pipitto, Rama, Ganden, Fabio, Ican, Apri, and kitchen women (sorry I didn't have your names!) for a wonderful stay. I'll be back!

I like everything! Let's start with the team. Sam's Bungalow has a wonderful team: today they are serving lunch in the restaurant and tomorrow guiding you through the jungles in search for orangutans. Very helpful, attentive and friendly guys. They suggested airport transfer which saved us at least 2 hours and a lot of nerves. So I definitely recommend to get that transfer. Location is wonderful - on hill slope but not high. Sam's Bungalow is located in the end of the road so there was practically no noise from motorbikes which are the only means of transportation here. From our bungalow (room #4) we have a good view on Bahorok river. Room was large, with balcony and hammock. Vast bathroom was located in the basement. Relaxing atmosphere in the evening accompanied by delicious food what - might be better! Breakfast and lunch were also good. So get packed and come to Sam's Bungalow!

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Sam's, as evidenced by my previous reviews. Always one of the best places to stay in Bukit Lawang, due to its location, silence, staff, and good value, Sam's has upped its game. There is now a second WiFi router, allowing for stronger signal in the rooms. Most importantly, there is now HOT WATER in the Deluxe rooms (I cannot speak for the other classes of rooms). There is also a fan installed in the dining area, which is handy on hot days. The standard of service remains the same or better.

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!

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!!

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.

Great location at the river and quite secluded near the end of the pathway, therefore not noisy. They have the best Chai tea we have experienced throughout our travel. Room with balcony was spacious and they have good working fan.

Sam‘s Bungalow felt like a place on heaven. The lovely staff was smiling every day, the view from our balcony towards the jungle was amazing and their food - OMG - so delicious! We stayed there for Christmas and we wouldn’t have found a better place far away from home. They also organized us a 2 days jungle trek tour for seeing orang-utans which was unforgettable! We can highly recommend to stay there!
