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.

This was such an amazing place. The owners Sarah and August welcomed us very friendly. We had a pickup at the bus station. The rooms were nice, spacious and comfortable. The food was tasty and for reasonable price. We did 3 days trekking with guide Bai and friends and had so much fun. We saw tons of animals including wild orangutan, siamangs, argus and turtles. The camping in nature was simple but very fun and the food was amazing. We felt like in a family. Thank you 🙂

I will never forget my time in Batu Kapal! The guest house is surrounded by a jungle landscape that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. There is a river close by that is perfect for a refreshing swim. The best of all: The exciting wildlife, filled with unique animals I’ve never seen in my entire life. When I woke up and looked around, there was a wild Orang-Utan mom with her child! At first I couldn't believe my eyes and thought I was still asleep - but they were actually there! We also visited a waterfall which I had a lot of fun at. The family who lovingly built the site, could not have been more welcoming. Not only were they incredibly friendly, but they were also funny and caring, and they shared with me their immense knowledge of the Sumatran wilderness. The food was delicious and many of the ingredients were freshly gathered near the property. I realized that one night was way too short and I spontaneously decided to stay 4 more nights. I recommend this place from the bottom of my heart! I will come again one day, that’s for sure.

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.

Amazing stay in Bukit Lawang! Could not have imagined it being any better :) The rooms were spacious and clean, we stayed in both rooms and both were great! The cheaper room has a garden view and the more expensive one the view onto the rice fields, which was a really nice bonus. Wifi worked well all the time. The guesthouse is located 10-15 mins walking time to the village, where you find a supermarket and a few warungs, where you can get a tasty and very cheap dinner. We didn't find the location problematic, rather nice as we were out in the quiet :) All the staff was always extremely friendly and helpful! They all together with the host Bayu made us feel more like family or close friends rather than just guests, which made it difficult to leave the place! We also booked a 2-day jungle trekking with Bayu - our guides were Jipour and Ali - awesome experience with lots of information and great fun, incl. spotting big and small animals, and, of course, orangutans :) Highly recommended! :)

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.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Cheeky Monkeys! The team went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and plan an unforgettable trip. Huge shoutout to our incredible jungle trek guide Riyan, who made the experience truly unforgettable with his knowledge of the jungle and also by going out of his way to ensure we were comfortable at all times. Sarul's comedic relief during the trek was a good addition. Our driver Tony was efficient and funny. Chef Eli's culinary skills were impressive, whipping up delicious meals whenever we requested . Adi's flexibility in accommodating our change in plans was also much appreciated. From start to finish, our stay at Cheeky Monkeys was an absolute pleasure.

    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.
