Chalet di Bukit Lawang

Susana Spanyol

We absolutely loved this place!!! Its location it’s perfect, really close to Gunung Leusere National Park entrance. Staff received us with a warm welcome and helped us to carry our bags to the bungalow. They all are helpful and looking after their guests. As soon as we arrived, staff informed us about trekking options, we decided to opt for 2 days trekking with a night in the jungle and rafting (note that rafting is optional but I would recommend you not to hesitate in hiring the activity, really funny). We started the trekking day after of our arrival with Rony and Klin, it couldn’t be better. Honestly, it exceeded our expectations! We saw plenty of different type of animals (and monkeys) orangutans of course! We enjoyed nature, met incredible people and we had lot of fun. Night in the jungle is an absolutely experience. Also mention to our chef, Huan who cooked us our lunch and dinner in the camp. We felt safe all the time with mentioned guides. Amazing experience

This is a 10. They could double or treble the price and still would be a 10. Facilities are great. Hot shower with reasonable water pressure. Comfy bed. Excellent, cheap (~50K IDR per person or ~3€) breakfast (more details below). I would recommend staying at least 3 nights, ideally 4. First night you arrive. Next day you can potentially do a 2-day 1-night jungle trek. And when you come from the trek you give then everything for laundry, which should be ready by noon the following day (if weather allows; they sun-dry). Hence why 4 nights may be more convenient (plus you have the chance if enjoying the village). Breakfast: 3 or 4 packages (can’t recall), each includes a choice of juice and coffe/tea plus plenty of food: package 1 included a banana pancake with chocolate and package 2 included scrambled eggs with some veggies and a couple of toasts; package 3/4 can’t recall). Organization/Communication: Jay was EXCELLENT, he mare sure everything was great. We had our LionAir flight changed 5 times and every single time they reassured they would adapt and pick us up from Medan airport (fee was 700K IDR for one trip, which is reasonable considering it’s 4 hours and it can get nasty with rain, I would use their service again and again!). Services: They also offer laundry service which was great and fantastic value for money: I don’t know what we would have done without it with the clothes so dirty fron the jungle. Jungle Trek: We also did a 2-day 1-night trek in the jungle with them (~90€ per person, everything included except water, which you need to carry) and it has been the HIGHLIGHT of our Indonesia trip. Slamet and Risky were FANTASTIC guides. We saw several orangutans (6+), some very close-up, and many other moneky species: thomas leaf monkey, black gibbon, pig-tailed macaque, long-tailed macaque. Food was excellent throughout the trek and Slamet and Risky were super-knowledgeable all along.

Beautiful location. The management organized exceptional private airport transportation as well as jungle trek. We were able to pay for all charges on credit card at the property.

Super calm place a few minutes outside the center of Bukit Lawang. Located next to the river, which is great. They pick you up from the bus station and also organise the jungle trek if requested.

I stayed in a recently renovated room with beautiful views of the river! The restaurant attached has such a cool ambiance - a great place to read or study. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Rooms were very clean and neat and an easy walk towards the forest or shops nearby!
