We booked our stay with Jhony and went on a 2 days jungle trekking tour with him and Lana. The room at his place is nice, nothing luxury but all you need is there. And the tour itself was just amazing! He's a very good guide, can tell a lot of storys and the food they brought for us on the tour was extraordinary!! Can highly recommend this!!

Our stay was great. The hosts organized a driver for us to pick us up from the airport in Medan. As it was our first accomodation in Indonesia on our vacation, we needed a sim card and they made sure the driver will stop at a sim card shop for us. We also did a jungle tour organized by them and we got to see lots of Orang-Utan and other animals. Unfortunately we could not raft the way back to our accomodation on the river since it rained beforehand and the guides decided it was not safe enough. We spent the last night singing songs together outside the accomodation while the host was playing the guitar which was pretty cool. Another bonus is the view on the jungle while lying in a hammock, right outside the room. We would definetly recommend staying here if you want to visit Bukit Lawang.

We did the 2-day, 1-night hike and it was an amazing experience. Our guide was excellent – knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative. The staff were all so kind, helpful, and great company throughout our stay. I can highly recommend this place to anyone.

I stayed for 3 weeks at Batu Kapal and would recommend to others that they not just stay for a day before and/or after a jungle trek but enjoy this peaceful and beautiful location for multiple days. The primates (several monkey species and orangutans), butterflies, lizards and birds around the property provide frequent interest. When their isn't great wildlife in your view, the beautiful scenery will make you happy to be there.

Lovely spacious rooms with gorgeous balcony and view. Rooms were very clean with flushing toilets! Easy walk into town where there’s lots of restaurants and a supermarket. The owner and staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. We felt very safe and welcome here. They cooked us lovely banana pancakes for breakfast and a lovely lunch.

Me and my friend stayed here just one night but wish we could have stayed longer! Before this we stayed a couple nights in the centre of the village Bukit Lawang which is nice but can get quite loud with construction and people. We highly recommend this place if you want a more private and calm place to stay but still near the village centre. The room is new, very comfortable and fully equipped. The view of the rice field is absolutely gorgeous. There is also free wifi and data connection. Convenience stores and local street food warungs are just a 10min walk away from the hut, or you can also pay for a motorbike if you don’t feel like walking. You can also walk to the centre of Bukit Lawang (around 30min) or take motorbike (10min). The staff here is so kind and accommodating. They make amazing breakfast (we loved the banana pancakes) and tend to all other possible needs. The owner really did his all to make our stay comfortable. He always wanted to make sure that we were ok and that we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Bayu and all of the staff!

We stayed at back to nature for 1 night and took a 3D 2N trek with Anuar and Rama. The hotel is very peaceful and such a great place to relax. They were very helpful in arranging our transfer from medan and our orangutan adventure. Anuar works with back to nature to provide the treks and really showed us the jungle. We were able to adapt the trek to our preferences and he really went to the extra mile to cater for our every need.

Martin and his staff were extremely warm and welcoming. I ended up having all my meals there and boy was I in for a treat. We went out and did some karaoke and a whole list of activities. There was a guide for each adventure. His guides are good and happy people.

    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.

    Great location in Bukit Lawang, lovely grounds and outlook directly over the river. Beautiful teak rooms with outstanding bathroom facilities. Rooms and the whole guesthouse are spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds and importantly, a quiet room upstairs . Indra and Nana, and all the staff are wonderful, and very friendly. The restaurant food is great - you wouldn't even need to go elsewhere to eat. Thankyou Indra and Nana.
