You feel like at home with Brian and his family/friends. Lot of kindness and helpfull. You can ask him what you need. He organized our trek in the jungle with Rosyid. It was a great experience with him. We enjoyed our trek, Rosyid explained us everything he could. The evening we laughed a lot. Our stay was just amazing. Great guys ! Thank you for everything

Situated in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the picnic area or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the lake and river.

I have never felt so welcome in my life in a hotel. Adi, Coco, Sarah, Santa, Ellie, and everyone else. You are all amazing people. The amount of work you put in the Cheeky Monkeys and all this while wearing the biggest smile and showing the kindest heart is not to explain in words, only in experience. Cheeky Monkeys gives real meaning to 'Arrive as a stranger, leave as a friend'.

Kupu Kupu Garden Guest House & Cafe is situated in a small village of Bukit Lawang in the Sumatra Region. Situated next to the Bohorok River and opposite of the Mount Leuser National Park, this boutique accommodation is surrounded by lush tropical forest. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant with a view of the jungle and the mountain.

We love everything about this place. It's our second visit and I would come back anytime. The location is spectacular and the views from the room are amazing. Such a haven of peace and quiet. You can cool down in the river just in front of the property. The jungle trek is highly recommended. Such a beautiful rainforest and seeing orangutans up close in their natural habitat is certainly very memorable. The staff is also great and helpful. Rizky always smiles, Julie always happy to help, Arif always ready to show you the treasures of the jungle. If I remembered all the names, I would list them here too. The room is comfortable and as described. This place really is a gem!

Batu Kapal Guest House offers an accommodation in Bukit Lawang by the Landark River overlooking Leuser National Park. The hotel has a terrace and views of the mountain, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar.

We had an amazing stay at Batu Kapal! From the moment we booked we were looked after, they organised our ride from the airport and our jungle trek. The food is amazing and all the team are so helpful and friendly! The location is unbelievable, right in the jungle with loads of birds, monkeys and sometimes orangutans coming to visit! They pick you up from town and drive you over to the house, which is a great introduction to jungle life! Cannot recommend this place enough. We had a fantastic stay, thank you to all the team!!

    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

    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!

Our guides Herni and Lane (not sure of the spelling!) Were really good guides, and we have nothing but praise for the overall experience.

    What friendly people and so helpful! The food was delicious. Everything was neatly taken care of. Above expectations for this price! I definitely recommend a stay. I also did the jungle trek, the majority of the proceeds goes to, among other things, the education of children who normally do not have money to go to school. So if you want to do something good for the locals and have a fantastic time, you've definitely come to the right place.
