Lovely place ran by a very nice family and their team in a peaceful little village not far from Bukit lewang. They arranged my jungle Trek as soon as I arrived which was perfect. Waking up to rice fields and mountain views, what more could you wish for?

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!

I stayed for 3 weeks at Batu Kapal and would recommend to others that they not just stay for a day before and/or after a jungle trek but enjoy this peaceful and beautiful location for multiple days. The primates (several monkey species and orangutans), butterflies, lizards and birds around the property provide frequent interest. When their isn't great wildlife in your view, the beautiful scenery will make you happy to be there.

Lovely spacious rooms with gorgeous balcony and view. Rooms were very clean with flushing toilets! Easy walk into town where there’s lots of restaurants and a supermarket. The owner and staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. We felt very safe and welcome here. They cooked us lovely banana pancakes for breakfast and a lovely lunch.

We loved the time here in sama sama homestay! Yakup, Emma and the kids are so friendly and welcoming. We spent 3 nights there and felt comfortable right from the beginning. It is located in the centre and right next to the river and some nice warungs. They have 2 rooms with a big balcony upstairs and also a space for drinking coffee together downstairs. Everything is very new and clean with some nice personal details. We did the 3 days/2 nights jungle trek with Yakup because he has been a guide for a really long time and knows a lot about the jungle and the animals. We were a small group with 5 people and he tried to avoid the spots where a lot of people were. We also had lots of fun with Dandy (the helping hand of Yakup) who was with us on the trek. We enjoyed every minute of it and can really recommend the trek with Yakup. Thanks for having us and we will definitely come back if we are in Bukit Lawang again.

I liked the staff kindness and their willingness to help. Also, the trekking guide was exceptional: respectuous to nature and people and very knowledgeable. All rooms have a great view on the river with a green jungle wall behind. The area is quiet and surrounded by nature and other small guesthouses. The room was perfectly clean and spacious.

This accommodation exceeds my wildest expectations completely. It offers a breathtaking view over the rice-fields, which truly is amazing. Every morning, I took the time to meditate in the attic of the meeting place. The cottage itself is truly beautiful and has a small bridge over a pond filled with stunning fish. It has almost a Japanese atmosphere. Gorgeous! In addition, the staff is always ready with a big smile and they are available all day to help. In the morning, a wonderful breakfast is prepared for me with great care, everything taken care of doen to the smallest detail. Moreover, I can work well here thanks to excellent WiFi connection. I also slept wonderfully here; the bed has a comfortable mattress and there is a great fan available. Within walking distance, you will find various shops along an excellent road, so everything is easily accessible. If I needed something, they quickly arrange it by scooter or they bring and pick me up without hesitation. I am absolutely 100% planning to come back here and would recommend this place to anyone.

This is great place to stay. Aca, the owner, has a cool mission to save the jungle. Yanta, the manager, shares that mission and is a real nature-guy. He is also an excellent host. Edi was our jungle-guide and is a remarkable person. The whole staff is looking after the guests in a very caring way. We miss them already :-)
