This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Property was clean and overlooked the river view. My stay was excellent, and I also booked the jungle trek with them. It was absolutely amazing, and it was their own business. So it was a small group. Ricky and Anto were great with taking care of us. You should really try this activity! It’s very very worth it, and rest assured you are in good hands.

There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The rooms are fitted with a balcony with garden views and free WiFi. Very lovely staff that helped with everything. From arranging the tour into the jungle to making some lovely breakfast and very good smoothies. The room was also perfect with enough room for the 3 people we were with and very clean. The accomodation was also in the middle of the jungle a bit outside of Bukit Lawang what made it a very beautiful surrounding. All in all a perfect accomodation that I would recommend to everyone that thinks about going to Bukit Lawang

This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. Every room is fitted with a balcony with garden views. Our flight got delayed so we landed quite late, but the owners were waiting and even offered an airport pick up (which we should have used so late at night). The room was spacious, clean. The breakfast area is near a beautiful garden. Overall, very happy with our quick stay, everyone was really nice and helpful.

Situated in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the picnic area or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the lake and river. The owner was so kind. Let me stay in a slightly more expensive room inside without paying the difference and got a ride back to the guesthouse from the city center at night. I wasn’t there for long but definitely felt it was a good deal for the price. It is pretty far from the center of butik lawang. You can walk it in 20min or get a tuktuk for 30rp. The walk is nice. You get to see another side to the area.
