Offering inner courtyard views, Mila Homestay is an accommodation set in Padang, 10 km from Siti Nurbaya Bridge and 47 km from Mount Talang. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The bed and breakfast has family rooms. I cannot recommend this stay enough. Dila, the host, was exceptional and so kind hearted that it taught me so much during my short 3 days there. It is a nice quiet location, and you can tell that Dila has put her all into making sure the guests have an amazing time. She is always there to answer questions and do everything she can to make you comfortable. She cooks a delicious breakfast with her sister, and likes to take her guests around Padang and show them beautiful things like the clear blue river deep in the village. Stuff you would never find on your own. She even noticed I liked crystals and rocks and showed me a crystal shop I would not have been aware of. I will always cherish my stay here.

Units are fitted with a private bathroom with free toiletries, while selected rooms also feature a balcony and others also feature mountain views. At the guest house, every unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. Alek, the owner, is very available to help us to find the best guide to do a trek in the jungle during 3days to see Orangs outang and other monkeys. He helps us to do laundry, find a taxi to arrive and to leave Bukit Lawang. We visited the bat cave, the market on Friday and the recycling factory near the homestay. The room was comfortable, the bed was very big and comfortable too, with a mosquito net. You can swim every day in the river just in front of the guesthouse with a lot of local kids. There is a restaurant in the homestay or around. You can ask what you need to Alek, he knows every body in Bukit Lawang;-) Thank you Alek for your welcoming.

At the guest house, units have a wardrobe. There is a seating and a dining area in all units. All units have a private bathroom, free toiletries and bed linen. Everything was perfect! The villa, the food, the people in the villa are so amazing. I had a lot of fun talking with them, they are super friendly! Especially Tyson is really a fun person with great personality! The room was awesome too! The bed is big with mosquito net, very comfortable. I stayed in the central of Bukit Lawang at first, and changed my stay to here, and I even extend my stay because here is so nice!! The environment around here is amazing, very quiet place so you definitely can sleep at night with quiet environment, not like in Bukit Lawang there are big sound of music and the big sound of river depends when and where you stay at night. I 100% recommend you to stay here!!

Perfect for snorkeling and you can rent masks there. The restaurant was also great with nice staff. Borja and his wife super chill and helpful. Fully recommended!

The units at the guest house are equipped with a seating area. A patio with outdoor furniture and garden views is offered in every unit. All units at the guest house are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. The location is chill, far away from noisy motorbikes. Also the friendliness of the staf. The hosts (Arif and Risky) were very entertaining and honest. They want you to have a good time and will do everything to make you feel at home. They organise good trustfull and knowledgeable guides for the jungle trek and transport. Highly recommend it. We absolutely loved the laid back jungle spirit of Kupu Kupu Garden.
