Guest Reviews

• A (10/5): - 친절합니다 투어도 재밌었고 시설이 깔끔합니다 고마워요 라이언
• Hannah (9/5): We really enjoyed our time here and would consider booking again. - Amazing location right on the river. Our balcony overlooked the jungle and the rushing water, which was so lush and relaxing. The staff are amazing and super friendly. Access to some of the rooms is via a pretty steep staircase, which can be slippery when wet. Fine if treated carefully.
• Isabella (10/5): - The hosts made our stay special, they upgraded us to deluxe room, which was amazing, clean and comfy. They took time to speak and get to know us, and wrrw available for all our requetsst despite it was the ending of Ramadan and an important time of celebration for them. The location is secluded and surroundef by nature and monkey. You can even walk a few steps down and swim in the river. Nothing
• Chris (1/5): They force you to book a trek in advance with them - After I booked it the owner sent me a WhatsApp message and said that if I didn’t pre-commit to booking a jungle trek with him then he would cancel my booking. I wanted to decide on the trek after I arrived so had to cancel. No warning about this when booking .
• Marco (8/5): - Schöner Ausblick und Ausstattung Essen war nicht so gut, besonders im Vergleich zu anderen im Bereich und Preisklasse
• Jeremiah (10/5): Indra Valley Inn....Top class - I loved everything about Indra Valley Inn.The location was perfect- very close to shops and other facilities.The room was very large and super clean.From the balcony I had a beautiful view of Gunung Leuser National Park...Sleep quality was excellent....What really made my stay SO enjoyable were the staff.Obiwan,the owner,was friendly and welcoming and really made me feel at home.He helped me a lot-organising transport to Banda Ache and arranging a trek to see the orang utans...I want to thank Fireman also for transporting me from the bus station and for being such an excellent guide...He took me to the next village twice to the ATM and we toured the countryside together on the motorbike...The restaurant was superb...I had all my meals at Indra Valley Inn over the 4 days...Thanks to Sila and Obiwan's wife for the top class food....An excellent place to stay ...10 out of 10. I LOVED EVERYTHING
• Julie (9/5): -
• David (10/5): -
• Alin (9/5): - Tolle Unterkunft, super gemütlich und freundliches Personal. Haben die Dschungel Tour über die Unterkunft gemacht und können es von Herzen weiter empfehlen! Unser Guide (Fireman) war super, viel Wissen und immer gut gelaunt. Es war eine wunderschöne Erfahrung
• Sigita (10/5): Highly recommend! Awesome location, outstanding staff, guides on our trek were AWESOME! - Everything from start to finish at this property was excellent! Loved our stay here. Kind, helpful staff that went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
• Catherine (9/5): Lovely family stay. - Everything! We felt like part of the Obiwan’s family from the time we arrived until we left. The room was exactly as described, home cooked meals available all day, trekking and transport to our next destination organised. It’s difficult to find anything. Hanging room for clothes in the room maybe.
• Corinna (8/5): -
• Stefan (10/5): - Direkt am Fluss mit Blick auf den Dschungel. Beim Essen konnten wir sogar einen Orang Utan und viele Affen beobachten. Das Essen war auch sehr lecker. Auch für Vegetarier viel Auswahl.
• Jenny Alejandra (10/5): - The rooms were nice and clean, the property was absolutely beautiful!! The river, the views!! We all loved the placed and we will absolutely come back, the stuff was super nice and the activities we did were amazing!!! Our tour guide was very gentle, helping us with everything we need it, the tour to see the orangutans was a dream come true and the hike we did even though was very difficult ( we choose the difficult path) it was so magical no one want it to finish, we decide to choose a tour were we sleep in the jungle for one night and we just wish that we could’ve stay more, there were monkeys everywhere we were so high in the mountains that we can see the clouds near us, a totally mystical experience. Thank you all we will keep this places for ever in our hearts
• Angelina (9/5): Habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt - Die Gastgeber sind so nett und familiär. Wir haben zusammen musiziert und sie haben alles für mich organisiert.
• Paul (10/5): Amazing 👍 - Personeel, lokatie.
• Frank (10/5): - Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter und Gastgeber. Wir hatten ein tolles grosses Zimmer mit geräumigem Balkon direkt am Fluss und unmittelbar am Rand des Dschungels. Wir konnten von unserem Balkon diverse Affen und sogar Orang- Utans beobachten. Wirklich einmalig. Auch die Dschungeltouren, die wir direkt im Hotel buchen konnten waren besonders. Sehr gutes Frühstück und sonstige Mahlzeiten, die von stets freundlichen Mitarbeitern serviert wurden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Nichts
• sebastian (9/5): Muy buen hospedaje! - La atención de todo el personal es buenísima! Fuimos con ellos a hacer el trekking y nos atendieron bárbaro en todo momento, super atentos, detallistas en todas las comidas, super buena la experiencia. No es de los lugares mas baratos que buscamos pero tampoco era mucho. Además nos buscaron y llevaron al aeropuerto por un precio razonable. Todas soluciones te dan Lo único malo es que no tiene agua caliente, pero eso ya lo sabíamos. Y no se realmente si alguno cuenta con agua caliente en la ducha
• Bruijs (8/5): Top! - locatie en personeel het eten duurde soms erg lang voor je bestelling er was
• Nina (10/5): Petit coin de paradis à prix imbattable - Petite auberge sur le bord de la rivière et directement face a la jungle. On voit les singes passer et on entend l’eau couler. C’est vraiment paradisiaque. Le patron est très aimable. La nourriture est bonne et a un tarif très raisonnable. « Fireman » mon guide de trek était très sympathique et avec un très bon anglais :) Rien. A noter tout de même : la douche est froide.
• Diane (9/5): - Sehr schöne Unterkunft im hinteren Teil des Dorfes, toll gelegen direkt am Fluss mit Blick auf den Dschungel. Obiwan und seine Familie bzw sein Team sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die über ihn gebuchte 2-tägige Dschungeltour war super und die Essenskarte füt Frühstück, Lunch und Dinner klein aber fein. Nichts
• Steven (10/5): Einfach Atemberaubend und unvergesslich! - Es war ein super angenehmer und erholsamer Aufenthalt. Die Menschen waren alle sehr liebenswert und herzlich. Obiwan und seine Freunde waren sehr hilfsbereit und sehr herzliche Menschen! Man konnte immer mit allem zu Ihnen kommen und nachfragen. Das Essen dort ist eine 100000/10 einfach ein Muss!! Es ist super lecker und auch sehr viel. Auch die Jungle Trekking Tour war einfach ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! So viel Essen, Tiere, Informationen und auch Erinnerungen können wir nur empfehlen (wir haben die 2 Tage, 1 Nacht Tour gemacht) Alles in allem ein super Aufenthalt den wir jedem empfehlen können. Da gibt’s nichts das uns nicht gefallen hat!
• Sola, Xiaojie (10/5): Unforgettable Jungle Stay by the River - Beautiful location right by the river, perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Our room was spacious, very clean, and equipped with a mosquito net for a comfortable night’s sleep. The owner, Mr. Obiwan, and his team were incredibly attentive and welcoming. We joined them for two activities—bat cave exploring and a one-day jungle trek—both unforgettable experiences. Evenings were magical, enjoying a cold beer in the riverside garden with freshly fried bananas as a snack. The peaceful atmosphere, friendly hospitality, and stunning surroundings make this place truly special. Highly recommended!
• Roytjuh (10/5): Great place and the best trekking - Obiwan and his staff are amazing. They are very welcoming and friendly. We booked a 2 day jungle trek here and it was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Ryan could tell us a lot about the jungle and the animals we saw, and our guide Hussein took great care of us in the jungle and even showed us some card games and trics at the camp site. The food during the trek was amazing and even the presentation of the food was great. We had such a good time. They really did their best to make the best trip possible for us. The rooms we stayed at were very clean and comfortable and so nice and close to the river. We could sleep with the sound of the river. We highly recommend this place!
• Wilhelmina (10/5): Een fantastisch verblijf aan de rand van de jungle! - Dit is de mooiste plek in Bukit Lawang! Je zit aan de rivier met aan de overkant de jungle. Groepen makaken lopen langs, varanen ook. De gidsen die onze tours begeleidden waren super! Ze wisten veel, waren oprecht en waren erg behulpzaam. Het eten wordt vers gemaakt en is heerlijk. De kamers zijn ruim en heel schoon. De eigenaar denkt graag met je mee. Hier komen we zeker nog een keer terug! Niks, alles was top!
• Fredrik (8/5): Great staff, premium location. -
• Petr (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation is in a wonderful location, on the edge of the village where it’s quieter, yet still just a ten-minute walk to the center. Beautiful views of the river and the jungle beyond, where macaques roam and even an orangutan made an appearance. The macaques occasionally ran across our roof and balcony — the kids were thrilled. We went on several treks with guides from this accommodation, and all of them were amazing. We saw 12 orangutans of all sizes, macaques, Thomas leaf monkeys, turtles, and even hornbills. For those interested in more unusual animals, I highly recommend the evening snake walk — it was simply incredible. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We’re glad we chose Obiwan’s Indra Valley Inn for our stay in Bukit Lawang.
• Emma (1/5): Bad - We couldn’t stay here because we didn’t do a jungle trek with them. We only found out after coming back from the jungle trekking which was quite unfortunate. This information should be more clear on the booking page.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Katarzyna (10/5): Lovely stay at the river in Bukit Lawang! - Wunderful stay at Obiwan’s guesthouse! We saw a lot of monkeys on our trekking with our awesome guides Fireman and Hussin. Also the kitchen was delicious. I recommend it! -
• Pia (10/5): Amazing place, great food and fantastic people! - We stayed 5 nights with Obiwan and his crew and were so happy there. The view of the jungle was amazing (frequently we saw monkeys and lizards on the riverside), the beds were comfortable and the food really good for a low price. We did 3 tours with them, which we enjoyed a lot. We were traveling with two little children and the whole staff and guides were really great with them, making the trip for them and us very memorable. We can really recommend the whole package! Nothing 😊
• Kyle (10/5): Amazing and a great experience. - Very accommodating. I did the jungle trek and night time trek and had an amazing time on both. Obiwan is a great host and looked after me very well. Especially as a young solo traveller with just 36 hours in Bukit Luwang!
• Verity (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tiffany (9/5): Highly recommended - Smooth communication via Whatsapp about the jungle tour and transport from Medan to the accommodation. Nice location, close to restaurants and shops, nice view of the river. Delicious food, but especially the friendly people who work there made this an unforgettable experience for us. The guides during the jungle tour were very skilled, attentive and patient.
• Beverley (9/5): Superb -
• Joanne (9/5): Superb - Location was perfect, we looked out at the jungle from our room. The staff were awesome, we did the jungle trek with them and had the most wonderful experience. Nothing really, the river was loud but I loved falling asleep to the sound of it.
• Kauri (9/5): Superb -
• Agnieszka (10/5): Great family jungle adventure - We had a great family stay. The personnel was very kind, the room was spacious and had a nice view. We did not eat at their place (went to other restaurants) but we did a jungle trek with them. We had an amazing guide who helped us carry in the jungle our 2-year old child. The 2-day trek was adapted to our family needs. We also used laundry and massage services recommended by the owner. All was perfect.
• Tessa (8/5): Great location with river & jungle outlook, lovely staff - Great location on the edge of Bukit Lawang, so it’s quieter than some others. We loved the covered seating area just above the river looking across to the jungle, excellent for looking for wildlife. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good food. Guide & assistant for our trek were great - genuine, helpful, knowledgeable and we could see they take care of the environment.
• Bertrand (9/5): Superb - Fireman and ferdi the best guides ever!
• Jaap (9/5): Lovely place, friendly people - Lovely place along the river. Beautiful surroundings, overlooking the jungle. The hike we did was absolutely amazing, we saw lots of monkeys and orang utan. Although it was physically challenging. Make sure you have good shoes and are bit fit! All the people are just so friendly and forthcoming,really lovely. Our room was really nice (deluxe), our kids slept in the normal room, which was warm, and a lot of noises from the street and the monkeys.
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Obiwan and the rest of the staff were great. Room was comfortable and clean. One day jungle trek was amazing and we were lucky enough to see lots of orangutans. Nothing.
• Hadewig (8/5): Atmospherique hotel with beautiful views. - The view from our own balcony and from the restaurant. The space of the room. Good ventilator The noise of the river when you want to sleep.
• Shelley (10/5): Exceeded expectations and - We had a fabulous 6 night stay with Obiwan and his fabulous team. Such a special experience for me returning to Bukit Lawang after 27 years. First day we sat on our Indra Valley river view room balcony and watched two orangutang in trees on the other side of the river. We were treated again a few days later with two more orangutang providing us with balcony entertainment. Being located further up the river, at Indra Valley you have the advantage of a jungle outlook from the hotel directly over the river. We did the overnight jungle tour, family of 4 with 13 and 16 year old kids which was a fabulous experience and included seeing more orangutang, many monkeys, a magnificently cooked meal that night and the tube down the river the next day. Kids absolutely loved it. Obiwan and his team are exceptional hosts, we were very well looked after. Thank you Obiwan, Shelley Tom Ben and Annabelle Nothing to not like.
• Sarahcogi (9/5): Superb - The tranquil and less crowded ambiance of the place greatly enhanced the meaningfulness of my jungle living. It's about a 15-minute walk from the public transport stop, but they offered a free pick-up service. I originally booked for two nights but extended my stay to three because of the outstanding hospitality and warmth from everyone I interacted with. Each staff member made me feel truly welcomed and appreciated, making my stay exceptionally pleasant. The one day jungle trekking with one of the staff was also amazing and we saw eight orangutan. One of my favorite things is enjoying breakfast at the river-front restaurant. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!
• Reuben (9/5): Fantastic location very close to the jungle with fun and friendly staff. - Beautiful location overlooking the jungle. Fantastic staff that were very caring and accomodating of our requests.
• fern (8/5): - Beautiful setting, comfort of room good. Our experience of everyone we met in Built Lawang is how kind people are, and the staff here are no exception.
• Tobias (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful, enabling us to have the flexibility to craft the holiday we wished to have in Sumatra
• Nadra (7/5): Good -
• Janine (8/5): Beautiful stay in Bukit Lawang - Obiwan made everything possible. Even after the restaurant closed he made us a coffee. We booked the tour also over Indra Valley and we enjoyed it a lot, especially the rafting back on the river. The accommodation is directly at the river and the view in the jungle is beautiful! We had a very nice stay, thank you Obiwan and the staff !!! no belgian flag 🇧🇪
• Nuria (9/5): Best hotel in Bukit Lawang! You feel in the middle of the nature, listening the river and enjoying the jungle views. Alt - Location, room views, staff and jungle trekking
• Ahmet (10/5): Revisit worthy - Amazing location where you can look straight into the jungle. Considering the location this is by far the best you can get. The service was outstanding Obi Wan and his family are trying their best to make you feel comfortable!
• Dimitrios (9/5): Nice small hotel by the river in Bukit Lawang - Very good location by the river. Our room had a superb view of the river and the jungle on the background, but had more than double price in comparison with other rooms, which had not any view. So, I recommend to choose the expensive option. Comfortable, clean room. The hotel owner organized a jungle trekking for us to observe orangutans, and we were satisfied from this service. There was not breakfast or meal choice. Also, although the location by the river was good, the hotel was quite far from the road, so we had to hire porters to carry our baggage, with a charge.
• James (9/5): Superb - Beautiful property on the river. Our room was so comfortable, clean and beautiful as well. We loved the staff. Obiwan was very communicative and helpful. Thank you!
• Jens (9/5): A great place with warm and ultra helpful staff - Obi wan and his team really go that extra mile. We booked a jungle trip. Both the guide and Pirman made it a wonderful trip. Pirman and our teenagers had so much fun. A strong recommendation. (Bring earplugs though, the river nearby can be loud)
• Sebastian (1/5): Trip did not take place as no guest from rival tour operators are accepted - Trip could not take place as the property only accepts that book a tour trough them rather than other operators. This is not disclosed on a non-refundable booking and only communicated via chat once the booking is confirmed
• Wiets (8/5): We have had a wonderful time - Super friendly staff and nice atmosphere Nothing
• Morgan (10/5): 3 night stay - We stayed at Indra Valley so we could do a jungle trek. They were able to coordinate everything, including our airport transfers and the 2-day trek, and were super accommodating for the stay!
• Sglenday (10/5): Exceptional - The location with a river view & friendly staff. Obiwan is really helpful, and Ryan is a good jungle guide.
• Maxime (9/5): Superb -
• Gabrielle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): If you would like to visit Bukit Lawang, please book your room and jungle trek at Indra Valley. They are the best in tow - The property was very nice and clean! Deluxe room is very spacious, clean, and had a beautiful view. You could even see different animals from the balcony. Obiwan and his team were so kind and helpful. We really felt like they treated us as family instead of guests. Very genuine people. Their jungle trek is the best! They know the jungle so well and also treat the animals respectfully. Nothing to add here.
• Bobbiwu (10/5): Exceptional - Take this mantra from the crew seriously : "You are here for holiday, NOT for competition." Tips: If you can't comprehend, go seek the Master (Obiwan) when you are there @ Indra Valley. Interesting trip, friendly people, and please don't forget to tip if you are happy with the service rendered.
• Ania (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Especially people :)
• Kasper (8/5): Godt overnatningssted - God oplevelse. Dejlig overnatningssted og godt personale.
• Charlotte (10/5): Beautiful location right on the river, you can watch monitor lizards and Monkeys while eating a delicious breakfast. - Beautiful location right on the river, you can watch monitor lizards and Monkeys while eating a delicious breakfast. The food in the restaurant was excellent, we ate almost every meal here. The rooms are very clean and the beds comfortable. Obiwan and his staff were all extremely helpful and kind with excellent English. We chose to organise the 2 day jungle trek with them and it was a great decision, the guides and the overall experience was excellent. nothing - it was perfect
• Miłosz (10/5): Exceptional - Great place by the river and national park boarder, we have seen orangutan on the other side of the river! Very kind and helpful english-speaking staff. Nice clean rooms with comfortable beds, tasty food in the restaurant, many small shops and other restaurants nearby, WiFi working very well. :)
• Bobby (10/5): Exceptional - Great staff. Nice rooms. Internet available in the rooms!
• Jennifer (9/5): Comfortable rooms with forest and river views - The owner is very friendly and extremely helpful if you want to book any tours or jungle treks and he helped us organise a car from Medan to Bukit Lawang which made it very easy. The place is nice and the food at the restaurant is tasty and very reasonably priced. Would recommend staying as it's nice and close to the forest and not too busy an area. Budget room has no hot water but we found this fine and you can upgrade to deluxe room if you'd prefer.
• Yaw (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and helpful staff. Food is delicious. We like having our meals by the riverside. Place is clean. Staff are very responsive to customer needs. None
• Jillian (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at Indra Valley Inn and highly recommend it to anyone going to Bukit Lawang. Our room was very nice and had a large balcony overlooking the river which was great and they had a restaurant and accommodated my vegetarian diet. Obiwan was easy to communicate with and organized our taxis to and from Medan as well as our overnight jungle trek. Imran took us on a scooter tour the first afternoon, which was a lovely way to see the town. Imran was also our guide for our overnight jungle trek, he was awesome; very knowledgeable and friendly. We were fortunate to see many animals on our jungle trek including 4 orangutans and lots of Thomas Leaf monkeys. Amazing stay and trek!
• Daniel (10/5): Amazing host, amazing place - We had a great stay here, Obi is the best host, he cares so much about his guests, also his staff is very friendly and helpful. The direct view to the jungle is just breathtaking, like a wallpaper. We booked also the jungle trekking by him, was a great experience! We recommend to book the deluxe room with hot shower, very comfy room! Nothing to mention.
• Katerina (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to start your jungle trip! Nice accommodation with a nice view and very good restaurant. the owner was so helpfull and helped with organising our next trip. thank you for everything!
• Onesimpleman (10/5): Exceptional - It was a great location to visit Gunung Leuser National Park . The room was very clean , with a large bathroom and an amazing balcony which faced the national park and the river. The owner arranged pick up from the airport and the trek . Very good communications. The guide Imran was really nice and helped us a lot during the trek . He knows the jungle inside out. Nothing . There is a bit of walk from the parking to the hotel. But there are porters who will take care of your luggage.
• Thomas (10/5): - Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Bukit Lawang. Die Jungeltour wird direkt vor Ort gebucht und die Guides sind klasse. Insbesondere unsere Kidz hatten super Spaß und das Personal war immer freundlich und super hilfsbereit. Auch die Abholung von unserem vorherigem Hotel sowie das Fahren zum Flughafen wurde alles problemlos organisiert. Vielen Dank. Wir können die Unterkunft absolut weiterempfehlen.
• Jeditha (10/5): - sehr zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter und großartige Tour durch den Dschungel!
• Virginia (9/5): Superb - Attractive property next to river, with pretty gazebo on the river. Obiwan, the owner, helpfully upgraded us to better room, comfortable and large. I would book there again. The beautiful river is noisy.
• Thadsawan (9/5): Superb - The view from balcany was great. I saw jungle forrest from my balcany. It was annoying from monkeys, they like to ruin your stuff.
• Yasmin (8/5): Very good - Well designed room. I was totally charmed by the view of the jungle valley village visible from my balcony The river ran right by my windows, and this produces a white noise effect. I arrived on a Saturday night, and would have had to listen to karaoke without it. I’m a light sleeper, so this “feature” was quite useful for me. I should also note that the manager-owner is really good and effective in communication. His English is quite strong (which, incidentally, compensates for the limited skill in this regard among the broader hotel staff).
• Lex (8/5): Very good -
• Adam (10/5): Recommend this place! - We had a really great time at Indra Valley Inn and for sure recommend this place. Obiwan was great at communicating with us before we arrived and made sure we had a nice stay. The jungle trek we organised through Indra was also amazing - we had a great guide Imran who was very knowledgeable and the delicious food in the jungle was a bonus. Obiwan also helped us organise transport and other day tours - anything you need really. The location of Indra Valley was also really good - far away enough from the main part of the village to spot monkeys and birds from the balcony and restaurant. A nice place to chill out while not trekking
• Zeeshan (9/5): Friendly spot on the edge of the jungle - Staff was great. Obi Wan was very eager to address all our issues Did an amazing trek with an excellent and friendly set of guides. Hot water. They made special arrangements for my dietary issues. Fun vibe at the hotel. Arranged excellent transport to and from Bukit Lawang. Room with view of river and jungle. Surprisingly comfy given remote jungle location. Thanks for the laughs and great jungle trek guys. Nothing really
• Erika (9/5): top notch hospitality - location is next to the river which is awesome, Obiwan and his team are the best host and guide you could ever asked for hot water was on and off but not a big deal
• Marie-Soleil (10/5): - Wow! Personnel chaleureux. Ceux qui tiennent cette hotel sont des jeunes bohèmes trop gentils qui adores se socialisés avec les clients. Le soir, on peut les voir jouer aux cartes entre amis et jouer de la guitard, ce qui était cool à entendre. Durant notre excursion dans la jungle, ils ont gardés notre valise dans un endroit sécuritaire. Je vous conseil de prendre la suite de luxe puisque les bungalows normal ne fournissent pas l'eau chaude. Bref, j'ai adoré mon voyage et mon trip à cette hotel. :D
• Ludovic (10/5): Perfect! - Such a perfect place! Obiwan and his team will welcome you as part of their family. The location is amazing, the rooms are cosy and typical. To eat at the restaurant is a real pleasure, the quality of the food and the service are on top! Bukit Lawang is THE place for trekking in the jungle to see orang utangs and many more wild life, Indra Valley will organize it for you and ask for Imran to be your guide according to have an unforgettable experience, he is the best and will ethically make you spend an amazing moment. Indra Valley is our new home and I wish it could one day be yours as well! Thanks to all of the team to make of this stay the best experience we spent in Indonesia. We'll be back :) Ludo&Mani
• Julien (10/5): Séjour Parfait - Séjour parfait au sein de cette guesthouse, Notre chambre était très agréable et propre. L'hébergement dispose de nombreux espaces extérieur permettant de profiter de la vue sur la jungle, ainsi qu'un accès à la rivière pour pouvoir se tremper, surtout avec des enfants. La famille d’accueil et agréable également, le restaurant sans être le meilleur de Bukit Lawang est très bon ! Seul point négatif, ils facturent la garde des bagages si vous effectuer un trek dans la jungle. Nous nous sommes sentit si bien, que nous avons prolongé notre séjour.
• Garry (10/5): - Really nice place, great service.
• Guy (10/5): Séjour absolument charmant. - Séjour absolument charmant. On nous attendait à l’aéroport avec le sourire, le trajet bien que long a été des plus confortables. Accueillis à l’hôtel par Obiwan et son épique, nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis comme à la maison. Guitare, bonne nourriture, rires, … la vie semble tellement facile en arrivant à l’Indra Valley Inn. Notre chambre avec terrasse, très propre et spacieuse, donnait directement sur la rivière, un décor de rêve. Le matin nous avons commencé la journée en regardant passer une bande de macaques. A 9h, après avoir dégusté une délicieuse crêpe, nous avons fait un trekking d’une journée avec 2 guides hyper sympathiques, parlant anglais, nous donnant plein d’informations au sujet de la forêt et des animaux que nous avons rencontrés. Ils nous ont amenés près des Thomas Leaf, des macaques, des orangs-outangs et nous avons même vu une sorte de babouin et un paon. Merci Saypull et Chris Mong pour votre gentillesse envers nous et votre professionnalisme durant tout notre séjour (et sorry si nous n’avons pas écrit vos noms correctement). Merci encore à Obiwan pour son accueil chaleureux en toute simplicité. Nous rêvons déjà de revenir passer quelques jours avec vous tous.
• Douglas (10/5): Mellow Jungle Respite - The first and foremost memory we'll carry away from this place is the trek. Our guides, Saproo and Dion (and unfortunately I'm massacring their names) were fantastic, attentive, and informative. They also made a mean fruit salad and lunch in the middle of the jungle. We saw 11 orangutans (including the infamous Minah), more long-tailed macaques that I could count, a fig-tailed macaque, a long green snake climbing a tree, and a Great Argus Pheasant. We couldn't have asked for more. We splurged on the Deluxe Double Room with a balcony for our three nights there, and we didn't want to leave that balcony after our jungle trek. At sunset, the long-tailed macaques took their evening constitutional on the far side of the river. The entire place had a mellow vibe that was reminiscent of the 70s, from men sporting pony-tails to strumming guitars. The entire staff, led by Obiwan (who hangs out in his card-playing corner), were laid-back yet attentive. We easily were able to arrange for transport to and from the Medan airport - really all of our needs were taken care of. I'd stay here again without a second thought.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean room and great service! The staff are always ready to help you. The most modern bathrooms among the guesthouses in Bukit Lawang. The buildings have a lot of natural wood too. The food was also great, but I wish the chicken dishes had boneless chicken instead of bone-in chicken.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 清潔、がいごがよかつつ
• Verified traveler (6/5): First room good, second room worst of the trip - Stayed 2 nights with an overnight in the jungle between. Paid for deluxe room both nights. First night was good. Comfortable, large room with hot water shower. Second night small room, just enough for bed. Shower with no hot water and no sink. Disappointing.
• Amy (10/5): Perfect place to experience Bukit Lawang - We absolutely loved Bukit Lawang, and this was the perfect hotel to experience it. The standard rooms are slightly basic, but ask for room one - the walls open to a beautiful balcony overlooking the river. Staff was extremely helpful and so kind. Food was fantastic - we spent 5 weeks in Indonesia and it was probably the best Nasi Goreng we tried! The town was quiet when we were there in late September, not sure if it was the rain or just off season. Only downside (not even sure I would call it that), was that we booked a overnight trek with Indra Valley, but were switched to another company without our knowledge. We liked our guide and group regardless so all was well! Would highly recommend this hotel, fond memories of our stay!
• Bram (6/5): Nice place but be careful - Nice place, nice staff, nice view, nice food. But. Obiwan claimed there was no shared transportation after 7:45am and offered us a private car for 700k, leaving at 10. However, we later learned there actually was a minivan (for 190k a head) that left at the same time as our planned car. So I kindly asked to cancel the private car. After that, the smiling attitude was gone. This left us with a bit of a bad aftertaste.
• Anne Kølner (10/5): Lovely stay! - Nice little inn, lovely staff, friendly and helpful host. Nice rooms and close to nature (monkeys on the roof in the morning and you could see them on the other side of the river).
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place, nice tenants, good food - Very simple and pleasant
