Amazing staff who are super welcoming and loved that they had water refills there as well. Also a good location where you can rent a motorbike from to go up to the viewpoints or for the hike to sibayak. The room is v cozy and also provide you with a proper blanket as it gets chillier at night here.

An amazing remote spot in the middle of nature, but still on walking distance from town. The lodges are very comfortable and impeccably clean. It’s a shared bathroom, but very well maintained and loved the design.

Hands down the best of the 3 places we stayed at in our one-week in Bukit Lawang. It's so dreamy and we were very sad to leave. Besides the aircon and Hot water shower, the location is unbeatable with the river flowing right outside the balcony. We even saw two orangutans hanging from trees from right across the river! The hosts were extremely friendly and gracious, they offered the best rates on transfers too! The Wild River restaurant next door is very good and offers value for money. Book here!

It was great value for money, the beds were super comfortable and the location is great. Right next to a restaurant with very cheap food! They helped us organise a 3 day tour in the Jungle with Jos, we had the best time and couldn’t recommend it more!

No complaints for the price, cheapest spot on the whole island. You get what you pay for. If you're travelling on a budget and don't have high expectations, this place is a great option. The cafe next door was closed during my whole stay, but that might be due to the time of the year. Plenty of places with food and drinks within walking distance though, plus Sumur Tiga beach.

Everything. Tia is an exceptional host and great chef. All ingredients for every meal were fresh and delicious. Nothing was too much. Tia organised a superb jungle trek through the reputable government group and our guide Eddie was brilliant. It was amazing to see orangutans completely in the wild. The location is simply perfect, being the last place on this side of the river. The views are wonderful. Everything is kept very clean. This is a home from home, run by the heart.
