The hotel still showed the room as available when we booked, yet they took our money. A few minutes later they emailed me saying the room was fully booked and had forgotten to remove it from the websites. I asked for a full refund and have sent two emails with no response, nor did I get my money back. The service was really bad.

The room was clean and close to the jungle entrance. Breakfast was simple but tasty. The owner was already pushy before we arrived and tried to sell us a trekking trip during breakfast, criticizing other guides and trekking companies. He was upset we didn’t book through him, even though he didn’t advertise this on his page. The room layout was wrong, so I had to book two rooms (or two beds) for two people, meaning I paid for an extra room we never used. He offered no refund, price reduction, or extra breakfast, and the hotel’s location was incorrect.

I went to Bukit Lawang for a jungle trek to see wildlife. The guesthouse sits very close to the river but not so close that the music from bars keeps you awake at night. What an experience! I booked the trip at the guesthouse. The nature was amazing and we saw a lot of wildlife: orangutans, lizards, several monkey species, etc. I booked a 3‑day/2‑night trek. The base camps were in the jungle, back to basics, but that’s what you expect. I slept on a thin mattress, showered in the river and waterfall. The food and information were good. The guides, Arlong and Nang‑Nang, were nice and enthusiastic. My host Ren did everything to make my stay comfortable, even taking me to the nearest ATM on his motorbike. Overall, good price‑quality. I would definitely recommend this guesthouse to anyone. The restaurant served good food and drinks with a nice vibe. The accommodations are all in the middle of the jungle, so don’t expect luxury. Everything is available, but air‑conditioning and hot water are hard to find at guesthouses in Bukit Lawang anyway. It’s not mandatory for travelers, but keep this in mind; it’s back to basics in the jungle.
