    The staff were amazing and took great care of us during our stay. They also had an amazing talent for playing the guitar and singing. The jungle trek was an incredible experience, and the surroundings of the accommodation were beautiful! And the food was very delicious :)

    The rooms and bathrooms are basic, but didn’t except anything else in the jungle! So that’s not really a negative point ;)

    We had the best stay there! The staff was so friendly and helpful!! ☺️ They helped us with everything we needed and organized the transfer, tours and the jungle Trekking for uns & we had the best time in the jungle with our guides Bob and Satya! The view from the restaurant and the veranda in the room to the jungle und the river is so great! We could see also an Orang Utan from there!

    Nothing really

    The Aussie’s guesthouse is ideally located, in a quiet place along the river. Ideally located to enjoy swimming, explore the village or start a little trek along the river. The same team is also made of «  Jungle professionals » and will accompany you, may you wish to discover the orang-outans’ habitat. We found our 3 days trek absolutely amazing. Team is simply fantastic and will do its upmost best to make you feel at home, as well. The room was beautiful and very spacious

    Loved everything

    Fabulous location, very large room, spacious balcony with unspoilt views, comfortable bed, kettle provided, wonderful dining room with very good food and above all excellent staff —extremely helpful and attentive, friendly and just absolutely lovely. Incredible value for money and I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Special thanks to manager Kedito who was always very quick to respond to messages before our arrival and was able to arrange my hike at very short notice. Also massive thanks to Satire for always being there with a smile and for taking me to the Monday changer and then to the ATM. Excellent service. Sadly I didn’t get the names of the other guys working there, but they were all lovely.

    A hot shower and better wifi connection in the room would be something to improve. But don’t worry about the AC because you won’t need it !

    Great view, in front of the river. Excellent host and guides. Bait is the best guide I’ve ever had!

    Nothing ........well cold showers 😆 But they are to be expected in the jungle

    Wow, what a stay ! From the moment we arrived and were met by Baike, we knew we were in for a treat. The people of Bukit Lawang are amongst the friendliest we have met on our travels . We had a short walk through the village to reach the Aussie inn , on arrival, we were welcomed by Bob (this guy never stopped smiling ) and shown to our room . We had the lower of 2 rooms ,which had a rerrace that opened straight onto the river bank. The room was basic but very comfortable with a large, comfy bed . (much needed after jungls treks ) The hotel offers good coffee and a selection of foods for breakfast and has a restaurant for evening meals . We booked all of our tours via the Aussie inn and were guided by either Baike or Bob , we would recommend booking via the hotel as you get to build a great friendship with the guys thwt work there . Overall, our stay was amazing !

    We loved our stay at Aussie Inn! All the guys were so welcoming and nice. The room was lovely, right next to the river with a big balcony. The food was also great, very nice breakfast. The jungle trek was one of the best experiences of our lives. We got to experience the jungle in a respectful way and our guide was so nice and had a lot of knowledge to share with us. Thank you for everything!

    We had such a great time at Aussie Inn. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and come with the best view of the river and the jungle. What made our stay so memorable though is the staff and the atmosphere. Kedito, Bob and the others are such friendly, funny people and are happy to help with everything. We booked a one night two day jungle trek with them and had a blast. We saw Orang-Utans, Gibbons and many other monkeys. Food is also amazing. Please keep up the good work and thank you for everything!

    One bed in the room next to the restaurant had no mosquito net and the other one had one that couldn't close because it was too small for the bed. Luckily there was a ventilator to keep the mosquitos away.

    We stayed in two different rooms on separate occasions, one right next to the restaurant and one a bit more towards the beginning of town. Both rooms had a specious veranda looking out over the beautiful river and jungle. Also both rooms were very clean. The room towards beginning of town was pleasant and had perfect mosquito nets. The room next to the restaurant was peaceful and quiet because it is at the end of town. The staff is friendly and helpful and they offer good private transport for a good price. I can recommend staying at Aussie Inn.

    What an incredible experience. Oman, Kedito, Felix and Ulan made our stay a truly unforgettable one. Beautiful people! The location was out of this world with views of the river and jungle from our balcony. Visits from the naughty macacques every day and sightings of Orangutans and gibbons in the canopy across the river. Absolute heaven. The trek we did with Oman was careful, well thought out and utterly spectacular. Even if you don't stay at the Aussie in it would be well worth booking a trek with these guys. Dedicated, professional and truly passionate about the wildlife and the jungle they call home. Absolute magic - We can't wait to return. Huge love to the Aussie Inn. Thank you.
