Room 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.

Maresca, Malta

Great understanding staff we had some problems making it to the jungletrack. They helped us out and where very friendly and nice. Room was clean and spacious. Nice porch with view on the river. The location is very nice, just on the riverside. Food in the restaurant was great and we did an amazing jungletrack with a great guide. Saw many Urang Utangs and other wildlife. Would def. recommend to go tubing as well. Very easy and cheap to arrange for transport.

Wifi was good Staff was very friendly on the first day... BUT we wanted to extend our stay and then they tried to sell us a more expensive room saying that all "Jungle Bungalows" were fully booked; after saying we were gonna look for another place to stay... then suddenly there was a "Jungle Bungalow" available for us.

Everything was amazing. The place is locally owned and run and Thomas does an admirable job of giving employment opportunities to as many local residents as he can. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Nurdin gave me a warm welcome and even sat and chatted with me for a while after I arrived. Christine always greeted me with warmth and friendliness when taking my food orders and when I checked out. Thomas was amazing. I wanted to visit several local villages and needed a guide/interpreter and he helped me organize everything. The room was large with strong A/C and a lovely, hot shower and the bed was so comfy!! Bukit Lawang is a very special place and is a great place to get to know local residents. Don't forget to ask them about their lives. Everyone I spoke to had interesting lives and great stories. The live music on Saturday was great fun. It was really nice to have one night a week to party, while every other night was nice and quiet and peaceful.

Very nice stuff. Thomas the owner takes care of everything. They organized the track, the taxi from Medan and everything was great. The rooms are big and clean. Only cold water in the showers, but it's fine. The guides of the jungle track were amazing and the food was excellent.
