Not a problem for us, but good to note it is a 15 min walk up steps to reach. Felt nice and secluded as a result though.

Great value for money, beautiful location right on the edge of the jungle, peaceful place to stay.

Payments are in cash, but we found a solution in the end

The homestay is great. The food, service, room, and overall experience were excellent. We also did the 3 day jungle tour with them, and we have a perfect 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. They really did their best to ensure we had the best experience and we learnt so much. We highly recommend this homestay and junglle trekking tour

The staff was amazing ! The bungalow was the cherry on the cake , it was just overlooking the jungle. I would like to say thanks to the kitchen staff for cooking us delicious food. Big praise to Robin for giving us the best entertainment and for welcoming us like family. I want to deeply emphasize that the tour guides engaged by this bungalow are professionals. Amir , our three day jungle tour guide gave us the best information and routes in the Jungle, we managed to see most of the animals that we dreamt of seeing! The food in the jungle was amazing ( thanks dian and hendra). Moreover , the night hike was phenomenal as well , it was conducted by Ipul the "Snake man", the legend himself ✌🏽✌🏽. I deeply recommend it 👍🏽👍🏽..

We enjoyed our stay here! We had the chance to see a lot of monkeys come by and it was super peaceful. The rooms are clean and comfortable especially for the price you pay

Nice bungalow with jungle view next to the entrance of the national park. 2 times Orangutans in the garden. Very friendly staff, good communication for private transport from Medan and from the accommodation to Berastagi. Overnight jungle trek was really good, we have seen quite a lot of orangutans, monkeys and other wildlife. Nice breakfast and good choice of local food in the restaurant. It’s a bit of walking stairs to get to the bungalow (but definitely worth to stay out of noise of town), Amazbut they can arrange a porter to get your bags up and down the hill for a small amount

The staff is very kind, they gave free food to us and items for our food. The bungalow is maybe basic, but that's exactly why everyone comes to Bukit Lawang, back to basic! The family bungalow gives you a lot of privacy and constantly seeing monkeys in the trees. On the first evening we spotted an urang utang walking next to our bungalow!

We had an amazing time at Orangutan Bungalow! Staff were so helpful. We did the 3 day trek through them which was incredible. We also saw some orangutans on the property and from our balcony.

It was perfect

This property’s location is amazing. Yes, you have to climb steep hill and steps to reach it but, if you’re doing a jungle trek, you need to do that anyway. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, with Ronnie (my guide) and Dian helping me with my bags. The jungle trek was tailored to my needs - many thanks to the wonderful Ronnie! We saw 9 orangutans on my 2 day trek, 2 of which were whilst still in the bungalow’s grounds. My room was basic but had everything I needed and was clean. For the price it was outstanding value. The food was good and reasonably priced. I made two separate bookings, either side of my night in the jungle, so have duplicated this review.

Electricity sometimes cut off, but it happened only two times and it's the normal in Bukit Lawang.

Location and staff were the best of this accomodation. Such a peaceful environment and recharged stay. We spent such a wonderful days in this place. 100% recommended.

The location of the hotel is spectacular, on top of a hill where orangutans wander around. The bungalows are beautiful and the breakfast was really good too.

No hot water in the shower but you cannot really complain as you are in a very rural area and for the price it’s reasonable.

We spent one night in this bungalow on top of the hill, it was clean and nice and the view around was beautiful!

You gotta hike to this place and hence not advisable for those with large luggages (we just had a small back-pack & stayed here after the trekking to try our luck to spot orangutan at ease sitting in the cottage). You can utilize the hotel's porter service, but this comes at a cost (fair enough). It is very close to the trekking start point. The (old) cottage we were in had rodent issue (you can find a big hole in the cupboard in bathroom) and the bathroom had spider webs. Also, something hiding in the roof of the room makes disturbing sound all thru the day & night (may be the rodent or a gekko or a bat or an owl, I don't know). Jungle stay - so you gotta put up : ) However, it would be great if the property can done something on the above to make the stay better.

Orangutan Bunglow is situated on the hill and away from the main stay areas near the river. Hence it was quite and green with good view of the forest. If you are lucky, you can spot orangutan here (seems it visits in the afternoon. we were unlucky that we checked-in in the evening and checked-out next day morning). Food was good here & was modestly priced.

It’s quite difficult to get to with not much lighting and very steep so be prepared. I arrived in the night so was very disorientated but the amazing views when I woke up in the morning was worth it.

Wow the bungalows in the middle on the jungle are something unique. A mother and baby orangutan were sleeping right next to my cabin and lots of other monkeys passing regularly. Nice breakfast options (pay extra), friendly staff and clean room. Also wifi pretty good considering how remote it is.

Even in rainseason it gets hot in the bungalow and there is only a fan. But.... you are almost in the junge. So no complain really.

The bungalow was really nice. I could watch monkeys in the trees and also saw orangutans from the bungalow. Quiet place.

Cold water in the shower.

The bungalows are decent. Just no hot water and low pressure of the shower. The food of the restaurant is good and the staff is very willing to help. The jungle tour was amazing. The guides really tried their best to show us everything the jungle had to offer. We had a very good diner and breakfast! And a decent bed to sleep in. We would really recommend to go on the trekking with these guides. Also, the accomodation fixed a cooking class for us, which was organized by an amazing woman Erna, who has her own organical garden, growing all sorts of fruits. It was a great addition to our visit to Bukit Lawang.

If you want to go into the village, it's a 15-20min walk downhill that you need to go up again. Same for the arrival

The location, looking into the jungle is just a dream! You get your own bungalow, even the cheapest option has a big bed, a terrace and shower+toilet in the bungalow. It's just a nature dream

Most of the money gets to the owners and the company. Only little money for the guides and the workers there

Stay was good but … Jungle Trekking with Ling and Elias was wonderful. Very kind staff.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at Orangutan Bungalow! After being unwell for a few weeks, it was the perfect place to rest, relax and enjoy some comfort. The staff is amazing and so friendly, the food was great, the huts are so cute, clean and comfortable, and the overnight trekking tour was incredible and very well organised. Thank you so much to the Orangutan Bungalow and trekking team for such a memorable stay!
