Villas in Bukit Lawang

Getting to this wonderful place is an adventure in itself. 15’ on a motor and a 20-30’ hike, but that will bring you to a home that settles itself in your heart (Don’t worry porters will be arranged for luggage and you will be guided – Connect on WhatsApp!). The family run hotel was constructed making use of the rocks from the river that curves around it and the wood from the jungle that surrounds it. You feel lost in nature. It has three upstairs rooms ideal for a family and a room downstairs. You’re family. The aunties cook local dishes (surprise menu – delicious banana-tree soup) and harvest from the garden. We planted a tree from the nursery. Cikita is a friendly host to help you. Baik is a senior guide with excellent English to help arrange trekking. The cook also gives a very professional massage. What can we say? Wifi and electricity may be spotty and there is no hamburger. But this place is so unique! Remote, so if you don’t want that, this is not for you. But if you look for a place to remember disconnected from everything. This is it.

The service, the hospitality, the concept and everything about the place

This was by far our best stay during our whole trip in Indonesia. The bungalows were both very comfortable, we stayed in one before and the other one after the jungle tour. The place is beautifully decorated with a lot of plants and animals to see in the garden. The owner was super friendly and helped us to arrange the 3-day jungle tour, a village tour, transportation to and from Bukit Lawang, the food, and she even gave us medicine when we were ill. There is a restaurant on the property, at which you can order delicious food any hour. Such a lovely stay, this made our time in Bukit Lawang unforgettable! Thank you so much for everything!

From the beginning Dedy Cool and the whole staff welcomed us in such a charismatic way, that we felt absolutely comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole stay (from making jokes to having deep conversations). Special shout-out to the two lady-Chefs (Nene and Linda) for cooking different tasteful dishes. That was the reason why we booked the cooking class …and it was worth it! We also booked the Jungle-Trecking through this accommodation and it was the BEST. Our Guides, Erwin and Bambang, made the 2-day Tour to one of the most special experience on our trip. Their knowledge and funny personalities made them the coolest guides ever. And also thank you for the best timing (we saw one Gibbon, some Orang-Utans and even an Orang-Utan Baby, and …) and really nice food. Beautiful stay. We would 100% recommend it! Terima kasih :D
