This guesthouse is truly a gem, Brian makes sure you have an amazing stay! You can tell he really cares about his guests. The room and bathroom are very clean and comfortable. The food is incredible too (plenty of vegan and vegetarian options)! I did a 2 night jungle trek with them as well and everything was very well organised, great food and fruit on the trek, comfortable campsites by the river and close to a waterfall. You could tell that the guide really enjoyed being in nature, he had so much knowledge about the animals and plants and made us feel really safe. I got a bee sting and he had magic oil that made the sting disappear in just 30 min! I had a really great stay and trek with Brian and his team and definitely recommend them and would definitely come back one day! :)

Everything about villa Copenhagen was great. My room was clean and well appointed with little things like storage, clothes hooks, hangers, etc that make the stay more comfortable. The breakfast was fresh made every day and the best I had in my 2 months in sumatra

Property was clean and overlooked the river view. My stay was excellent, and I also booked the jungle trek with them. It was absolutely amazing, and it was their own business. So it was a small group. Ricky and Anto were great with taking care of us. You should really try this activity! It’s very very worth it, and rest assured you are in good hands.

I liked everything! The location is so beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by rice fields. The restaurant is delicious, and the rooms are very comfortable and clean. I stayed somewhere else before in Bukit Lawang, but Gino's place was much better in every point, and actually cheaper. It is the perfect place to rest after a tiring trek :)

Borja and Yuyun are excellent hosts that offers you the warmest welcome that you can imagine. They are very kind and help you with any and every question you might have about the place and the island. Every single item in the rooms were well thought. Room was very clean. Having a mini fridge, boiler in the room was great to have. Location is fantastic as it's a bit remote in the island which offers you a calm place to relax. Having the ocean right beneath you is remarkable. Food in the restaurant which is running as a side business, "La Boca Chica", was a great surprise for us as it really exceeded our expectations for taste and variety. We were not comfortable to ride scooter and Borja was kind enough to give us a practice session which shows how far they are willing to go for helping their guests!

This is one of the first guesthouses around the river, which makes it a great spot after long travels because you don’t have to haul your luggage too far. Muhdi and his staff are very friendly, there is a great restaurant. You can book trekking through the guesthouse. The room was pretty big and my particular one was away from the street and therefor very quiet.

The guesthouse is a quiet peaceful place with nice garden, gazebos for you to view the lake and have barbecue. The facilities are good. Kettle is available by request. If you use the passenger boat from Tiga Raja port, it will take you right to your accomodations around tuktuk area, so it's easy to reach the guesthouse.

I had a great stay here in Rumah Nalu. Mylan and Megan are great hosts and make you feel very much at home. Mylan is super knowledgeable about all the surf spots in the area and is happy to relay the information to you to help you figure out which spots work best in what swell direction, tide etc. Anything you need they will try accommodate. Probably the best location in the whole Krui area too, it’s so central so you never have to drive too far to reach the surf spots. Definitely recommend this spot, great vibes and great waves

Arif and Risky are great hosts. The hotel is 30 minutes walking into the jungle and in a nice quiet area. Al you can hear is the river flowing by, the animals and the rain on the roof Awesome jungle trekking with Wanda and Juli. And great local food at night made by Risky.

Guesthouse just outside the city center (15 mins walk). Early check-in was a bonus and the garden (where the breakfast is served) is well kept by the family. The rooms are in a seperate house after some steps. Guesthouse arranged an interesting guide.
