ORANGUTANTREKSUMATRA & LOVELY JUNGLE LODGE only book IF you are treking with us

The accomodation was on a hill in the jungle. It was basic but nice (as you might expect, since you are literally in a lodge in the jungle) After the first night, we also booked a jungle tour with Uddin. We did a 2 day trekking. Balu and mr Gang were really friendly and fun guides. They showed us where the monkeys were and didn't care to wait if we were tired. Jusu was our cook who made good meals. We saw a lot of monkeys (including 5+ different orang-oetans). Everything was included (breakfast, lunch, diner, tea, coffee and fruits)! We also did the tubing, which was a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend to do your trekking with them. (Pictures are from the 2 day jungle tour and not the one night stay)

Amazing place! Host is very kind and happy to help with everything.

Thank you for lovely stay. Udin took care of everything and his sons were on the trip to jungle with us. Balu was very kind and helpful, he tried his best to find the orangutans and he knew a lot about the animals. The lodges are in the jungle, we saw Thomas Leaf monkeys on the way there. There is running water where you can shower yourself, and clean toilet. There are beds with mosqito nets. There is no electricity, and quite weak signal. But if you want to stay in the djungle, by the camp fire watching fireflies, this location is the best. The views to the djungle are amazing, and sunrises are astonishing.

Book here your jungle trekking, good prices, best guides and moreover you’ll help the local economy instead of others companies managed abroad! Coming here is an authentic and amazing experience in the nature. The lodges/bungalows are in the jungle, they are basic, an amazing camping spot in the jungle to escape from the city life. You can see monkeys and animals from your bed in the morning. The people are amazing, kind and really available to help you in any situation. Book here your jungle trekking (I did the 2 days trekking with one night in the jungle), the experience is really beautiful and the guides Cici, Sam and the owner Uddin are the best. Starting being your guides, they will become your friends! Lovely people and also careful about sustainability. It exceeded my expectations.

The mattress is not a 5 stars one, but you can sleep quite well, remembering it is a wild experience in the nature.

Wonderful location - woke up with sunrise and got to watch the sky change colour over the hills of the jungle. There was a mini-trek to the lodge, about 30 minutes. Uddin the host kept all my valuables and heavy items safe in his home in the city so i didn't have to carry them. He also helped me get to bukit lawang with directions over whatsapp since i took the public bus (don't recommend, they've increased prices for tourists, almost same as tourist bus now), and cooked us a free dinner because we were hungry when we arrived - he was a super kind and welcoming host. If you're going to do trekking, I would highly recommend booking it through him. I booked the 2d/1n with him and it was one of the best experiences of my life, I cannot recommend it enough. We saw 6 Orangutans, some Thomas leaf monkeys, Macaques, a tortoise, and a giant Goanna. The minimum prices are the exact same across all companies, but not all are locally-owned like this one.

We loved the location of the place in the jungle and on a Hill, so we felt in the middle of nature and could see a beautiful sunrise directly from our balcony. The accomodation is very Basic but still comftable and exactly how we expected it to be. We also booked the jungle trekking of them with Chiechie being our guide and Yusup the Camp coordinator and Chef. They both were very sweet and did everything to take good care of us. We can recommend both, the lodge as well as the jungle Tour, very much.

We had an amazing time at the jungle lodge. The location was amazing and so beautiful. The experience is perfect for people who want to spend time in nature and see wildlife. There’s a river nearby that you can swim in, and we woke up to monkeys just outside the room. Highly recommend. Just FYI, the description on booking.com is not very accurate, and the location on maps is for the booking office not where you stay. It’s about a 40 minute walk from Bukit Lawang into the jungle. The last 10 minutes is a hard climb so you need to be active enough to do this, might be hard if you’re older or have young children.

I would advise that if you’re not going to book trekking, you make that very clear at the start of your stay. We weren’t sure of our plans and in the end just stayed at the lodge rather than going trekking. It got slightly uncomfortable because the owner kept asking us about trekking even when we said we weren’t going to do it.

Best location in the village for adventurous people, even saw an orangutan from our accomodation

Outstanding stay in a perfect location with terrific trekking. Best book trekking with the host as it's much easier as a package and a better deal than the companies in the village.

Amazing location close to the jungle, walked 1 hour and saw orangutan with the staff as guides

no electricity but it’s to be expected bring a battery pack
