After making the reservation, Alek - the owner of the accommodation - contacted me if I needed help with ordering a taxi and then brought me directly to the accommodation. The rooms here are clean, large enough and have a porch, where you can dry your laundry. On the way up to the room, you have a beautiful view of the river, where you can swim and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area. This accommodation also has a restaurant, where they have excellent food for a low price. They will be happy to help you and advise you with anything, do not be afraid to contact them. I also did a jungle trek with Alek's team, which I highly recommend! Ian was a great expedition leader, the food on the expedition was varied and very good. The nature around here is also beautiful, I recommend staying here for several days and get to know the surroundings and the local people.

We had a great time at Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys! The property is beautiful and the owners, Sarah and Agus, make you feel at home from the minute you arrive. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Sarah assisted us in organising a 2 day 1 night jungle trek. The trek was amazing and we saw lots of animals including orangutans, monkeys, birds and a turtle. Our guide Tara was really experienced, informative and great company. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Our stay here was amazing! The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, bathroom also nice and everything is clean. Also the room has a big balcony with incredible view.

Our guide Dani and his brother were good guides and also very nice people.

Exceptional hospitality, guidance, and support from the family made my stay unforgettable. During our animal observations, we explored the jungle in ways no organized tour could offer, while working on a photography project aimed at raising awareness of local species—including the often-overlooked butterflies that play a vital role in maintaining the flora—and promoting sustainable tourism. Thanks to Yakup, I also gained a deep insight into rural life and agriculture beyond Bukit Lawang. The room and facilities are practical and well-equipped, providing everything needed for a safe and comfortable stay. At the same time, they offer a genuine sense of being close to nature. The mosquito net kept insects out, and the property is located near restaurants serving traditional Indonesian food. This place inspires something far deeper than journeys—a sense of responsibility for the forest, as it gives you so much in return.

Amazing stay in Bukit Lawang! Could not have imagined it being any better :) The rooms were spacious and clean, we stayed in both rooms and both were great! The cheaper room has a garden view and the more expensive one the view onto the rice fields, which was a really nice bonus. Wifi worked well all the time. The guesthouse is located 10-15 mins walking time to the village, where you find a supermarket and a few warungs, where you can get a tasty and very cheap dinner. We didn't find the location problematic, rather nice as we were out in the quiet :) All the staff was always extremely friendly and helpful! They all together with the host Bayu made us feel more like family or close friends rather than just guests, which made it difficult to leave the place! We also booked a 2-day jungle trekking with Bayu - our guides were Jipour and Ali - awesome experience with lots of information and great fun, incl. spotting big and small animals, and, of course, orangutans :) Highly recommended! :)
