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.

Our stay here was amazing! The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, bathroom also nice and everything is clean. Also the room has a big balcony with incredible view. The staff was also great, we arranged everything we needed through them and it was not a problem. We also booked a one day jungle trek with them and it was excellent. Our guide Dani and his brother were good guides and also very nice people.

I liked the staff kindness and their willingness to help. Also, the trekking guide was exceptional: respectuous to nature and people and very knowledgeable. All rooms have a great view on the river with a green jungle wall behind. The area is quiet and surrounded by nature and other small guesthouses. The room was perfectly clean and spacious.

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! :)

This is great place to stay. Aca, the owner, has a cool mission to save the jungle. Yanta, the manager, shares that mission and is a real nature-guy. He is also an excellent host. Edi was our jungle-guide and is a remarkable person. The whole staff is looking after the guests in a very caring way. We miss them already :-)

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.

    We had an awesome stay at Sama Sama Homestay. The owners are so welcoming, kind and friendly, so we directly felt comfortable. The brewed us delicious coffee each day and were always up for some nice and interesting smalltalk. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and we especially liked the balcony area to take some coffee and relax. We recommend a stay here!!

    Alek is the most helpful homestay host we have had. He managed to sort out our 3D2N trek the night before we wanted to go and he lent us his bike to travel to an ATM. The location is ideal and lots of nice places to eat right outside. Well worth the price!!
