Sumatra Orangutan Discovery Villa

Clean rooms and very nice common area to spend time in. Great food options available at the villa and all freshly prepared. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Nothing I don’t like. Everything was great.

Very friendly and knowledgable staff who made me feel welcomed. Excellent location and nice that there is a restaurant onsite.

We felt very welcomed and comfortable with Tyson and his team. The two tours we booked through him (with guide Joko) were also perfect for us. Thank you for the wonderful experiences and the great time!

Everything was amazing. Great breakfast and lunch with a lot of fruits. Tyson organized everything in a perfect way. The one night jungletrek with Ammad and his friend was great. We loved everything😊.

Everything was perfect! The villa, the food, the people in the villa are so amazing. I had a lot of fun talking with them, they are super friendly! Especially Tyson is really a fun person with great personality! The room was awesome too! The bed is big with mosquito net, very comfortable. I stayed in the central of Bukit Lawang at first, and changed my stay to here, and I even extend my stay because here is so nice!! The environment around here is amazing, very quiet place so you definitely can sleep at night with quiet environment, not like in Bukit Lawang there are big sound of music and the big sound of river depends when and where you stay at night. I 100% recommend you to stay here!!

N/A. Everything is fine.

This was my second extension. Very happy to have stayed longer. Please read earlier review for details. Highly recommend Sumatra Orangutan Discovery Villa.

Gotong Rotong bus station and convenience store are located about 10 to 15 mins away by foot. The quiet villa with nice ambience is tucked away from town. Padi fields just a few minutes walk from the villa. Tyson, Dedek and team are super friendly. Their dog Balu is a charm. They are able to organize trips to the jungle, Tangkahan, transport and etc. It's like a one-stop villa for everything. The room is of good size and bed is very comfortable. Restaurant in the villa serves good food. (One can always replenish drinking water in the restaurant.) There is no need to walk out for meals. In any case, not much choices available near the villa unless one goes to Bukit Lawang. Bukit Lawang town is 20 minutes walk from the villa walking pass local residences. If not, one can take a motorbike to the town. The jungle trek organized by Tyson comes with a friendly and knowledagble guide and assistant. Saw 2 orangutans and a few other monkeys. The trek is pretty demanding. It goes up hill and down and up and down. One need to be pretty fit. Highly recommend Sumatra Orangutan Discovery Villa for your adventures in Bukit Lawang.

My complain is not about the villa. Please note that there is NO ATMs in Bukit Lawang/Gotong Rotong. The nearest ATM is in Bohorok, some 20 mins ride away.

Trek is tough and it's goes uphill and downhill. One ought to be fairly fit. Highly recommend Sumatra Orangutan Discovery Villa.

Things I don't like is not about the villa. Both Gotong Rotong and Bukit Lawang do not have any ATM machines. Nearest ATM is in Bohorok, about 20 minutes away by bike, I think.
