Unforgettable experience and memories at Magpie. I highly recommend for the stay and the trekking. The place: one of the few homestays I’ve seen with such a lush, colourful garden. The rooms are spacious, very clean, with a mosquito net, towels, fan etc The location: I loved it because it was in the village where you can immerse yourself with the locals and see their day-to-day It’s very close to a river where you can swim Accessibility: Easily accessible to the main village by foot or by tuktuk (close to project wings too). To get to the homestay Asniar was very hands-on and booked a taxi to get us from the airport to her place at a very affordable rate. Food: good portions for breakfast, we also had lunch and dinner there (delicious and affordable). Plates were nicely presented. Trekking: Asniar organised both trekkings for us, the one to see Ourangutans and the giant flower. She provided for us amazing guides. We were able to see very well many Orangutans, even the rarely seen Black Gibon! Best travel experience. The trek included lunch, fruits and rafting. Now to the best part: the team! It was difficult to leave Magpie because everyone was so sweet and friendly. We were welcomed with big smiles and open arms. We stayed up all night just talking, playing guitar, laughing.. sharing great memories. Thank you Asniar for everything, Magpie is a magical place. Our lead guide was Kiteng, so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful with a bright smile. Candra and Andre were great, always making sure we had everything we needed. Book now at Magpie, affordable prices, amazing team and unforgettable authentic experience!

Le logement est parfait, très grand et confortable. Deux chambres, une cuisine et salle de bain. La gentillesse et l'accueil sont parfaits. Les repas sont excellents. Asniar est une hôtesse attentionnée qui peut vous organiser des treks de plusieurs jours, des excursions à la journée ( fleurs géantes, oran outang etc...) . Le village est à 20 minutes de marche et la balade est très agréable.

"Klasser Erfahrung in einer Unterkunft die einem alles"

10.0

Es ist ein ruhiges Hotel etwas am Rand von Bukit Lawang, hier geht es allerdings weniger um die Unterkunft als um das hervorragende Jungle Treeking, das mit Team Mitgliedern von Magpie durchgeführt werden kann. Die Preise für das Trekking sind günstiger als an vielen Orten in Bukit Lawang und die beiden Guides waren super engagiert. Klare Empfehlung! Die Besitzerin organisiert einem alles was man braucht, inklusive Transfers und es ist ein kleines Restaurant dabei, in dem man für kleines Geld lecker essen kann. Besonders die Tempeh waren unglaublich lecker und wenn man sich einen Frucht Saft wie einen Maracuja Saft bestellt, werden diese aus dem eigenen Garten frisch geerntet und zum Saft verarbeitet.

Alles super, wenn man weiß worauf man sich einlässt. Man schläft in einem Haus, das zwar geschlossen ist, aber unter dem Dach kleine Öffnungen hat. Das heißt Geckos und Heuschrecken im Zimmer können vorkommen. Das ist kein Problem, wenn man eh in den Jungle möchte. Einen Glamour Urlaub kann man hier jedoch nicht machen.

We hebben een hele gave jungletour gemaakt met Kitin, Nasir en chef kok Malang. Twee voortreffelijke gidsen en een kok die een waanzinnig jungle maal voorzette. We hebben oerang oetangs gespot en veel andere apen. Het huisje was knus met een lieve gastvrouw die ons helemaal in de watten legde. Echt een aanrader!

We had an amazing stay at Magpie. Ansia organized everything for us, a private transfer from Medan Airport to Bukit Langwang, 3 days of jungle trekking and a spontaneous decision to go to lake Toba instead of back to Medan. The food was really delicious and she accommodated all our wishes and requests. The trekking was a wonderful experience with our guides Ronnie and Nasir. We saw a lot of animals, even the big male orang utan. Had comfortable mattresses in the camps at night and a lot of great food. All in all a great place to stay in Bukit Lawang and do the jungle trekking with. Everyone had a lot time and we loved talking with everyone. Made us really feel like we’re guest in your home.

"Memorable and lovely stay"

10.0

We were incredibly warmly welcomed by Asniar — such a kind, caring, and genuinely lovely woman. From the very first moment, we felt at home. The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature, and everything was spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more comfortable. The food was delicious and freshly prepared by Asniar, and you could truly taste the care and love that went into every meal. We also did a two-day jungle tour, which was a truly unforgettable experience. We saw amazing wildlife in its natural habitat, and it was incredibly special to experience the jungle up close. A huge thank you to our jungle guides, Kitteng and Nasir, who have deep respect for the jungle and its wildlife, as well as to the chef who cooked fantastic meals in the jungle. The tour was challenging at times, but absolutely worth it and an experience we will never forget.

Curtains would have been nice, but this did not take away from the overall experience.
