Did my jungle trek through the guest house too and it was amazing. The owners are super friendly!

No complaints for the price

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.

Great place to stay, right on the river, we went swimming every day. Putra and Maya a the best hosts. Putra knows everyone and will arrange anything for you I would also recommend going on his jungle trek, he is very knowledgeable about the jungle and the wildlife and the jungle taxi after the trek is great fun. Maya is a brilliant cook. We ate there every day she even made us food one evening when the restaurant was closed so we didn't have to go out in the rain. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Bukit Lawang.

The room is basic but everything you need and I think you can‘t complain considering the price.

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.

It could get a bit noisy at times.

The guest house is located by a fast paced river. Families come to enjoy the swimming there and the place is full of laughter . Bukit Lawang is an idyllic village with cafes and small shops on riverside. I was travelling solo but was always finding myself in company. Butra, Maya and Juni made me feel most welcome. Great breakfast was always there when needed 😀.

Very nice Place in the middle of Bukit Lawang. Putra the owner and his family made everything to made my stay as nice as it could be. Food is very good and i really liked the view on the river. I also highly recommend ti do a tohr with Putra. He has a lot of knowledge about the jungle and you can notice, that he really cares about the wildlife and the area. While our trekk he always provided us with a lot of usefull informations, such as about the wildlife and also how about to survive in the jungle. My favourite was the nnightwalk we did in the jungle, cause when it gets darker you are even more able to see animals, you cant see while daylight. Putra and his guides also prepared very good food during the hike. All in all 10/10 Thanks for having me. Hopefully i will be able to come back one day to do the 10 day trekk :)

I had the riverside view room. Really nice room, but the river was maybe a little noisy to fall asleep too, however I subjectively have a hard time falling asleep without complete silence, it is a very small thing in a heap of good things :).

This is among one of the best places I have stayed at in a while. It’s affordable, clean, good location, and Putra and his family are incredibly nice and helpful in every way. I experienced no problems, and had an amazing experience jungle trekking thanks to Putra planning it.

Sometimes there is wifi because there is a black out in bukit area, we suggest buy an internet data for phone.

We do 2 days jungle tour with them, they are really nice and helpfull during the jungle trekking, we saw so many animals in the jungle not only orang utan. The food was great, they served more than we can have. We really recommend to do jungle tour with them because they really care to the animals and the jungle, the jungle taxi ( tube rafthing ) is a must because it was really fun.

Everything met my expectations. If I must find a little improvement point, I would have appreciated to have a small mirror in the bathroom.

Putra and his staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during my entire stay. The view from my room was gorgeous because it was facing the river. Putra organized my 2-days jungle trekking tour and it was simply amazing: all guides were very well prepared, knowledgeable, very friendly and local (i.e. all coming from the same nearby village), which made my experience even more authentic. They prepared and served us a lot of typical food during the entire trekking, we saw a lot of animals and shared a lot of information and therefore spent unforgettable time together! Terima kasih Putra and your entire team!

You can hear noises from the outside quite clearly, but that’s usually the case in every Indonesian house and can be fixed easily with earplugs.

Our 2D1N jungle trek with Putra was great! You could really see that he spent his whole life in these forests and really cares about the environment and its protection. I also had an injury during the trek and it was harder for me to walk the next day but he helped me in every way that he could, carrying my bag and making sure that we go slow and take breaks. It was wonderful listening to his stories about the jungle! I really recommend you do the jungle trek with him! Also the absolute max group size is 5, which makes it better. The accommodation is very basic, but for that price I am not complaining!

the place to go if you are looking for a cheap place room also has a fan even if you opt not to stay there, you can still book your jungle tour there because the owner, Putra, is really nice, and treats the animals and nature with the respect you want from a guide

Highly recommend to stay here, room with double bed and own bathroom very comfortable and clean. Located right on the river, beautiful views. No need to go anywhere else for your jungle trek as Putra is an awesome jungle guide with lots of knowledge and passion for the jungle, he will give you an unforgettable experience. All of the staff here are more than happy to help you with anything you need during your stay including getting too and from Bukit lawang.

The only things we weren’t satisfied with were the bad WiFi connection and an occurring power failure of about an hour. But we just used that time to do some souvenir shopping.

My sister and I booked a room with fun family guest house as one of our first stops in Indonesia. The family welcomed us with open arms and was extremely nice. Especially G was very fluent in English and helped us with everything we needed, as well as showing us around the town and bringing us to see a live band on Saturday evening. He also helped us with planning our trip and booked us the Jungle Trekking and a Transport to and from the Guest House. Even though not the entire staff was speaking English, they knew some simple phrases/words and were patient and helpful with us. Furthermore the placement was very good. It is right next to the river, near the entrance of the city and in walking distance to all restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend staying with this lovely family while visiting Bukit Lawang.
