Featuring mountain views, Orangutan Bungalow in Bukit Lawang features accommodation, free bikes, a garden, a terrace, a restaurant and barbecue facilities. Complimentary WiFi is offered.

If you would like to discover the area, cycling is possible in the surroundings and the lodge can arrange a car rental service. If I could give a higher score than 10 I would! This place is in an unbelievable location, right on the edge of the national park. 3 days I was there I saw orangutans on the property and lots of other monkeys in the trees outside my balcony. Yes, it is a steep climb to get here but if you are doing a jungle trek you will need to walk up past the property to get to the national park anyway. If you arrange transport through them they will send someone to help with your bags. The food in the restaurant is amazing and very reasonably priced and there is lots of variety so you don’t even need to leave the property for meals! I got laundry done as well which was a bonus. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I did the 2D/1N jungle trek with Orangutan Bungalow and it was incredible! The guides were fabulous, the food was wonderful and we saw so much wildlife that it was almost overwhelming at times. Yes there are bugs and geckos around but you are in the jungle so it’s to be expected. If you want sterile accommodation with air conditioning then you will have to pay a lot more than you pay staying here. Don’t stay anywhere else!

Providing a restaurant, ORANGUTANTREKSUMATRA & LOVELY JUNGLE LODGE only book IF you are treking with us provides accommodation in Bukit Lawang.

Some units include a terrace and/or a balcony with mountain or river views. Wooden open houses in the middle of the jungle with superb view. If you wish to experience the jungle: it is day and night around you with the sounds in the night; this is a perfect basic stay. We stayed here 2 nights with our daughter of 15 years old. Staf is excellent, very good cooking. Breakfast with banana pancake. Delicious Indonesian dinner in the evening. We booked a 1 day jungle tour with them and that was amazing. We walked in a small group of 5 including 2 guides. We had the luck to see an Oran Utang mother with baby very close to us already in the morning. End of the day we saw a big male oran utang as well, very impressive. Besides these we saw different kinds of monkey's. We had a lot of fun with our guides during the day.
