    Nothing much to complain about.

    Tia, the manager was fantastic from start to finish. I had called her weeks before arriving and she arranged the transfer from the airport, guide and was helpful in every way. The meals were good too and she was just great to be around. Kind and caring. The location is great and on the last morning an Orangutan and her baby came to feed on the Mango tree next to the bungalow.

    The stairs up the top lodge are very big and not for the weak knees.

    The lodges are very pretty and there is a cute waterfront cafe where Tia makes the best food. Tia is the best and together with her friends she makes up a very pleasant, fun and welcoming stay. See u soon Tia!

    It was all perfect!

    It was all perfect. Because the bugalows are located directly at the river the view is amazing. Also the bungalow itself was of a good size and decorated nicely. Also the staff and the owner of the bungalows are really friendly and helped with the organisation of the jungle trek and the village tour. All in all it was a perfect stay. I highly recommend to stay here during your time in Bukit Lawang.

    May I suggest some glasses be in the room.

    We are 2 friends in the autumn of our life. We went on the jungle trek and stayed overnight. Our guide, Kinol was so helpful and went at our pace. Are, his outsider carried the food. We stopped at 11 for delicious fruit. For lunch we had chicken, fried rice, tomato and cucumber. The camp on the river was well set out. Dinner was different curries.. Delicious! We saw orangutans including a big male. Different species of monkey and other interesting Forest creatures. Kinol had good eyes. We returned by a raft of big tyres joined together.. Very exciting..

    Nothing, just be aware that for the upper bungalow you will need to climb some stairs.

    I had the upper bungalow and the view was amazing. Tia and Pandi are super friendly and organized everything for me.

    Nothing. Loved everything

    Thea is the nicest host - very warm and welcoming. The lodge it self is very nice and lot of value for money. Also, the food is really good!

    The monkeys stole my pineapple 🤣🤣 Not really a dislike, just an FYI- be mindful the monkeys will come visit your balcony everyday - and they can smell food within minutes - just don’t leave food out 🤣🤣

    Absolutely stunning! I loved it here! I stayed in Bukit Lawang for 3 months - and every day I was so grateful I picked the best place to stay (and I’m picky 🤣) The view is gorgeous, right at the edge of the jungle so you feel like you’re own private jungle bungalow over looking the river - very private, best location in BL to still be close to restaurants etc The best swimming spot is right out front The cafe is super cute and charming and at the edge of the river - gorgeous view and great fresh local food The family is amazing, very kind and helpful.. well known and respected in the village The bungalows are simple but beautifully and well built, solid & clean but still feel like they belong in the jungle Can’t say enough good things, I highly recommend 🤩🙏

    Nothing to dislike for me.

    Location: Amazing scenery on the river right next to the jungle. You find total peace here while having everything you need in walking distance. Rooms: Beautiful, new wooden villas with a lovely and authentic design - incredible views from the terrace included. Also very comfy mattresses. Restaurant: A cosy, roofed terrace overlooking the river. Enjoy a delicious selection of local food while soaking up the peaceful riverviews. Make sure you try the Chicken Rendang and the Banana Chocolate Springrolls. Sooooo good! What else? What makes beautiful place even more special is Tia and her team. Tia is the soul of Rambai Tree and is such a caring and warmhearted person who will do everything possible to have a memorable stay. She was always available whenever i needed something and it was always great to have a chat with her. Tia also organized a jungle tour for me, which was an incredible experience. It was great that I did Not have to take care of anything. You can even tell her what you expect from your guide- if you would like to have a fun and entertaining guide who makes sure you won’t get bored or someone calm to just get Professional i nformation about the jungle and enjoy the peace of nature. A big thank you and I hope I can come back to this magical place someday 🌴

    Watch out for the self-locking door.

    It had a most beautiful location by the river and right next to the forest. Super comfortable beds for weary travellers after a jungle trek! We were happy to see monkeys and an orangutan pass thru as part of their daily routine. Tia and her team are so friendly and helpful with everything we needed. Tia helped us arrange an incredible day trip to Batu Katak (best day) plus a really memorable and special jungle trek. Tia even took us to a local Warung so that we could eat local food. She also took us on a walk thru the local market and to see her home.

    We loved our hostess Tia and the other people who work at Rambai Tree Jungle Lodges, they we're all so helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed to be a little more secluded as the lodge is up between the trees, but still in walking distance of everything you need. The accommodation also had a good restaurant!
