Staff is incredible. The curry dishes are delicious.
CanadaProbably best place to stay in Bukit. nice bungalow style facilities, great bar and lovely staff.
ThailandUnlike other hotels around. This hotel has lots more open space towards to river. And the locals working here has a heart to welcome you sincerely. It just so nice that you don’t have to tuck yourself in to ‘forest’ if you have option to be in the open river view in front of your room. The owner, Thomas is very tentative and very like to do best for you. All staff working here are very friendly and sincerely try their best to introduce the area.
CanadaRoom was large and clean, overlooking the river on the quiet side of Bukit. The restaurant was fantastic - pumpkin curry!!!! Staff very friendly and helpful. We took a one day jungle trek through them and the guides were absolutely great, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Being a jungleguide for a long time I decided to open up a new place where people can stay in Bukit Lawang right next to the river and close to the jungle
My hobbies are of course trekking to the jungle, help the tourist to have an easy life when they are in Bukit Lawang. I like to make jokes and talk to the tourists.
The most interesting thing in our neighborhood are the Orang Utans and all the other animals in the jungle
