beside their affordable price, the room is quiet clean. you may be able to get the same price or even cheaper at another inn, but for me, sam's place is the cleanest, with beautiful view, and of course, friendly staff.

Such a beautiful place with a great view, good food and really friendly staff! The room with balcony was clean and so romantic. Thanks for this amazing time! 😊

The people make the difference here. The owner(Sam) and his nephew(Rama) as well as Andi are all straight up great personalities and it was great to have met them.

The friendly staff and great location all the way at the end of the village, very close to the National Park

had a brilliant stay. stayed for 3 nights with an overnight jungle trek in between the 2nd and 3rd night. fantastic staff. Sam is a fantastic host and his staff work very hard. Rama was our guide for our trek and it was fascinating to listen to his knowledge about the jungle and the animals. we saw orangutans on the trek and from the restaurant at Sam’s. thanks for keeping us safe too! plus awesome rafting for the way back down the river. Andre was great too and joined us later on in the jungle. thanks to Danny for setting up the camp and cooking too! great food. great food at the accommodation too and extra cold bintang! everything was perfect. the best hospitality. you can’t go to Indonesia without visiting Sam’s!

Our stay at Sam's was unbelievable. Sam was able to arrange transport for us (to and from the airport) and also a 2Day 1 night jungle trek with local tour guides, which was absolutely amazing. The food in sam's restaurant was delicious and very well priced. All of the staff went over and beyond for us at every point during our stay. The staff truely are jungle lovers and have such love for spotting animals/insects and birds! We even spotted an orangutan while we were having lunch there! Rooms had everything you need, hot water, wifi, clean and comfortable beds with a hammock outside on the balcony to watch the river and jungle! Such an amazing experience and would highly recommend!

Nice room, with a balcony and a great view. Our bathroom was outside of the room, so we had to climb some stairs to get there, but that’s really no problem.

The room was great with a lovely view from the balcony where you could relax in a hammock. The food in the restaurant was truly amazing and was made and served with a lot of attention and love from the staff, who where amazing as well and really take care of you and make sure you have a great stay!. They had the best and fastest wifi from Sumatra! In just 20 metres from Sam's, you can enjoy a great swim in the river and we even saw a Uran Utang with baby during our swim. Hope to come back one day!

We stayed in a lovely room at Sam's bungalow. The people were heartwarming and very friendly. We felt very welcome and there was great hospitaly .

Everything! All the staff were helpful and very friendly. We had a fantastic trek and tubing with Pepito and Rama, delicious meals at the restaurant and enjoyed the scenic location by the river. Chatting with locally born Sam about village culture was also appreciated!
