He picks us up his guests at the piers and answers every question you may have. - The place is well situated, just outside Tuktuk main area. - We had a room in the garden, the bed is comfortable and it is quiet at night. - Kettle and fridge in the room. - Good wifi. - Possibility to rent a scooter. There are in good conditions and with a full tank. - Good restaurant next door, for your breakfast. We'll book here again if we visit again Samosir island.

The staff were so friendly telling us about local markets and places to go as well as booking tuk tuks for us and booking our jungle trek! The jungle trek itself was amazing and an experience I will never forget with Alex, Tenjong and Ari as our guides. They go above and beyond to make sure you're having the best time. 10/10 recommend

This is a new place in Bukit Lawang everything was clean. They are building a restaurant, but in the meantime they serve your breakfast at your room. We received a very warm welcome by Andy who was our guide for the jungle trek. He taught us a lot of things about the wild life & was very kind and funny. We saw the orang outans and lots of different animals. We truly recommend this guesthouse and their guides.

Booking that turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life. The host Jhony was very helping with everything and was kind to sell me the tour for almost original price despite the fact that I’m a solo traveller. His student Lana became my guide in the jungle for two days, he was a great companion, took good care of everything, told many interesting facts and stories. We saw 9 orangutans and many other animals. Food that’s included for trekking was delicious, lots of fruits. The overall route is easy, but there were some challenging parts, and you have to be ready for inconveniences regarding sleeping or going to toilet, it’s not a luxury resort after all. Also rafting isn’t scary at all and super fun. The accommodation in the village was nice, especially for this price, bed has a curtain to protect you from insects.

The location is very nice, a beautiful garden and close to a river to swim. We did the 3 day, 2 night tour in the jungle and we enjoyed it a lot. The nights are heavy, but very cool to sleep in the jungle. We saw lots of monkeys and learnt a lot from the guides. Also the people in the guest house were very helpful and nice!

The guesthouse is a quiet peaceful place with nice garden, gazebos for you to view the lake and have barbecue. The facilities are good. Kettle is available by request. If you use the passenger boat from Tiga Raja port, it will take you right to your accomodations around tuktuk area, so it's easy to reach the guesthouse.

Arif and Risky are great hosts. The hotel is 30 minutes walking into the jungle and in a nice quiet area. Al you can hear is the river flowing by, the animals and the rain on the roof Awesome jungle trekking with Wanda and Juli. And great local food at night made by Risky.

Guesthouse just outside the city center (15 mins walk). Early check-in was a bonus and the garden (where the breakfast is served) is well kept by the family. The rooms are in a seperate house after some steps. Guesthouse arranged an interesting guide.

We very like this homestay where we stayed 4nights. Easy to communicate in English with Feby, our super host who helped us in many ways : sim card, atm, taxi driver, laundry,... The guesthouse is very nice with garden, secure parking, a lot of place for kids can play, ... kitchen, fridge, air con, laudry available. The room was confortable with big bed and the pillow and bed sheets were so soft and confortable. All is perfect. We will come back again!

Great guesthouse, the family is lovely and very helpful. The cheaper rooms are basic but big and very comfortable. Has access to the lake in a quiet area. Their food is really good. Difficult to find anything better for the price. 100% recommended
