Hütten in Bukit Lawang

Joss Neuseeland

We have had such a wonderful time here! It's right on the edge of the National park so the gardens are often visited by monkeys and orangutans right outside the bungalows. We've stayed for a week so that we also had time to relax and work as well as jungle/river/village activities - we would happily stay longer. The staff are lovely and the food is fantastic. Plenty of veggie/vegan options and willing to cater for dietary requirements. Laundry was very reasonably priced. The family bungalow is spacious, comfortable and clean. Just remember this is the jungle - you'll find plenty of critters about!

This is a 10. They could double or treble the price and still would be a 10. Facilities are great. Hot shower with reasonable water pressure. Comfy bed. Excellent, cheap (~50K IDR per person or ~3€) breakfast (more details below). I would recommend staying at least 3 nights, ideally 4. First night you arrive. Next day you can potentially do a 2-day 1-night jungle trek. And when you come from the trek you give then everything for laundry, which should be ready by noon the following day (if weather allows; they sun-dry). Hence why 4 nights may be more convenient (plus you have the chance if enjoying the village). Breakfast: 3 or 4 packages (can’t recall), each includes a choice of juice and coffe/tea plus plenty of food: package 1 included a banana pancake with chocolate and package 2 included scrambled eggs with some veggies and a couple of toasts; package 3/4 can’t recall). Organization/Communication: Jay was EXCELLENT, he mare sure everything was great. We had our LionAir flight changed 5 times and every single time they reassured they would adapt and pick us up from Medan airport (fee was 700K IDR for one trip, which is reasonable considering it’s 4 hours and it can get nasty with rain, I would use their service again and again!). Services: They also offer laundry service which was great and fantastic value for money: I don’t know what we would have done without it with the clothes so dirty fron the jungle. Jungle Trek: We also did a 2-day 1-night trek in the jungle with them (~90€ per person, everything included except water, which you need to carry) and it has been the HIGHLIGHT of our Indonesia trip. Slamet and Risky were FANTASTIC guides. We saw several orangutans (6+), some very close-up, and many other moneky species: thomas leaf monkey, black gibbon, pig-tailed macaque, long-tailed macaque. Food was excellent throughout the trek and Slamet and Risky were super-knowledgeable all along.

Vom Balkon aus konnte ich die Tiere beobachten. Sehr freundliches Personal. Die 2 Tagestour ist sehr zu empfehlen - das Essen wurde im Dschungel liebevoll zubereitet und es hat richtig gut geschmeckt.

Super calm place a few minutes outside the center of Bukit Lawang. Located next to the river, which is great. They pick you up from the bus station and also organise the jungle trek if requested.

I stayed in a recently renovated room with beautiful views of the river! The restaurant attached has such a cool ambiance - a great place to read or study. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Rooms were very clean and neat and an easy walk towards the forest or shops nearby!
