Find Hotels in Bukit Lawang, Indonesia

Our group of 4 adults (2 couples) stayed in the family suite for 1 night only. The room is very impressive! A stunning outlook from a huge balcony to enjoy the view and a shower overlooking the rainforest. But as all the other reviews say, be warned if you book this room, the steps leading up to it are seriously STEEP! It's so worth it and if you're fit and healthy it's perfectly fine (and worth it!) but it's also hard so take that into consideration. Also - we didn't have top sheets for the two single beds (just fitted sheets) and found blankets but too hot for this, and the intercom from the room to reception doesn't work. We only had lunch here and the food was ok at best, we had better meals at other restaurants in Bukit Lawang. But an enjoyable stay in a great family suite!

I would recommend this to everyone. We had ân amazing stay at this place. The rooms are big en clean. The guesthouse is right next to the water, which gives it a really relaxed vibe. The food is really good and you can arrange a lot of trekkings here. But the best part is the owner, Bob. Ân awesome young guy. Thanks to him, the place felt like our second home. So if you go to bukit lawang, stay at this place. You will not find anything better.

Definately the most beautiful place to stay in Bukit Lawang ! The small, very nicely decorated hotel lies at the river bank with a great jungle view. The rooms are very clean, spacious and you find everything you need. But for me the best was the garden next to river where you can enjoy your breakfast or a drink in one of the sunchairs. Staff is also very friendly and helpful and they offer very well organized tours to the jungle, the surrounding villages and other parts of Sumatra

We absolutely loved our stay at the Brown Bamboo homestay. The staff was very friendly and the owner (Gia) is a really funny guy. Highly recommended if you're in Bukit Lawang! Very, very good value for the price. We also had a guide named Baik for the jungle trek & he was amazing! He spoke really good English, was funny & very knowledgeable. Thanks again for everything guys! Terima kasih dan sampai jumpa satu hari :). Uriel & Nancy

I would like to say thank you so much to Putra, it was the best experience I could ever imagine in Bukit Lawang. When we came by bus he was waiting for us in the bus station, he bring us to the hostel and since then we felt just welcome. We book a 2 days trek in the jungle and we were very lucky, -he said- because we see almost everything you we expect. The trek was exigent but he was patient, the food was unbelievable, very fresh and tasty fruits, and the camp in the jungle just everything you can imagine, private natural pool, private cook, own tent, very nice service and an amazing night in the jungle. I hope that if you come to the jungle you book with him, because not just the service, the attention and the knowledge about the jungle, but because support local people is essential for the jungle and the animals, he left everything clean and we get not less than a luxury experience in the jungle. 100% recommended.

We arrived in Medan and Dewi met us at the airport. After arriving at Bukit Lawang, it is another 5 minute motorbike ride or a 30 minute walk to get to Batu Kapal. This gets you away from the tourist throngs of Bukit Lawang and places you on a village trail with locals passing by Batu Kapal, collecting durians, tapping rubber and delivering supplies. The accommodation at Batu Kapal was beautifully constructed and a perfect couples retreat for us. During the day we lounged around, visited the village, swam in the river and collected durians. Dewi was also very helpful in helping us organise jungle trekking and helping us to organise our transport from Bukit Lawang to Lake Toba. It is a great place to go if you like to be away from it all. However, the jungle track can be a bit perilous depending on how much rain there has been and how confident you are riding pylon on a motorbike. Luckily, the staff at Batu Kapal can transport your bags while you walk, if you feel safer on two feet. Highly recommended.
