Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Guesthouse & Jungle Trek is set in Bukit Lawang. This homestay offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Amazing value for your money! Brian is amazing, he basically organized my entire trip around the area including a four day jungle trek, a ride to and from the elephant sanctuary, and shuttles around the city. The guides during our jungle trek were great, Rosit was clearly a very experienced guide and he made the trip very entertaining to say the least. Everyone else in the crew were great and very attentive and helpful.

There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The rooms are fitted with a balcony with garden views and free WiFi.

The best part of the property is the staff. Owner, Tyson welcomed me explained everything needed. A young lady working at the cafe (Diza, sorry if I mistaken the name)made me one of the best meals in Indonesia I’ve ever tried. Sweet dog and cat were also welcoming and slept under my room’s door at night.The room was simple but very clean with beautiful garden setting. The location is a little bit out of town, but walkable and very quiet. Tyson also organized a jungle trek for me and that was also very good. We saw 8 orangutans)

The location is very nice, a beautiful garden and close to a river to swim. We did the 3 day, 2 night tour in the jungle and we enjoyed it a lot. The nights are heavy, but very cool to sleep in the jungle. We saw lots of monkeys and learnt a lot from the guides. Also the people in the guest house were very helpful and nice!

Set in Bukit Lawang in the Sumatra region, Happy Ria Homestay & Guesthouse has a garden. The property features mountain and garden views. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

This is a big charming, wooden house unlike anything else we saw in Bukit Lawang. It’s beautiful and has a lot of character. The location is great, up many stairs but it’s worth it. Close to nearby restaurants and ‘Jack’s Bar’ which we loved for live music and awesome cocktails in a real jungle setting. The staff are so lovely and helped us with everything we needed, they organised a trek into the jungle for us and a day trip to their conservation site where we saw lots of orangutans. Banana pancakes for breakfast were so delicious too, thank you Ridho! Highly recommend staying here!

Quiet guesthouse and restaurant right on the river in Bukit Lawang town centre. Loved the location. Two rooms only, which are awesome - spacious, super clean and the photos are exactly what you get. Super comfortable bed and great bathroom. Did a great overnight trek with guide Hendra based at Enter Point also.

    Junia Guest house is a beautiful location to stay if you want to see some of bukit lawang or explore the jungle. Our host, Tony, made sure everything was arranged perfectly. I highly recommend the jungle trek, this was a great experience and also nice to learn about the jungle and it’s animals. I also recommend doing a tour to see the farmlands around bukit lawang! Great to see the way the locals live and you’ll see places you’ll probably miss otherwise

    The guesthouse is perfectly located on the riverfront, a short walk away from the bus station. Putra and his family are very kind and thoughtful hosts, and I felt thoroughly looked after during my stay - they really went above and beyond. The room was comfortable and excellent value for money. The real highlight though was the superb jungle trekking. Putra and Darwan were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the plants and animals we saw and the trip was a lot of fun. Food was great too.

    We had a great time at the guesthouse. Brian is a great host and is mindful of his community and the environment. He invests in those who have need of it. We arranged our jungletrek through Brian and had a great time spending two nights on the jungle with Brosit and the guys. We lacked nothing and learned a lot about the animals we saw. Great experience!

    I made a 2-day 1-night visit to Bukit Lawang and the jungle with a colleague on short notice. We both had our own little cottage. Asim Paris Guesthouse arranged the transport to Bukit Lawang, the jungle tour, and the transport to Medan Airport. We enjoyed the dinner at the guesthouse. Also the breakfast with banana pancakes and fresh fruit was really nice. During the jungle tour with tour guides Bim(bo) and Martin we spotted a lot of Urangutans and other monkeys. Overall we had a short but very nice stay.

    Putra goes above and beyond to let you feel welcome. He is a great host. He picked me up and dropped me off at the bus station when I arrived and left. I could use the room until I came back from the without paying an extra night.

    The bungalows are super cute! The hosts are lovely, speak excellent English, and organised a pick-up from the bus station. You can get some food and drinks at the guesthouse for cheap, and the walking street is not far. Room and bathroom are kept clean. Basic room, but comfortable. Only three bungalows, so it can be booked out very fast!

    The guesthouse was at a great location and the host was very friendly and organized anything you needed. We did 2 day trek and everything was great. We saw many animals (including orangutans) and had plenty of food - the guide Tambrin and his assistant put lot of effort into making it the best time for you. Definitely recommend going on this trek with Tambrin!

    Great location in Bukit Lawang, lovely grounds and outlook directly over the river. Beautiful teak rooms with outstanding bathroom facilities. Rooms and the whole guesthouse are spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds and importantly, a quiet room upstairs . Indra and Nana, and all the staff are wonderful, and very friendly. The restaurant food is great - you wouldn't even need to go elsewhere to eat. Thankyou Indra and Nana.
