Jungle Inn Bukit Lawang

Pickup- The hotel picked us up from the airport, it took around 4 hours to get to Bukit lawang, then we were met by 2 of the hotel staff that gave us a short scooter ride to the hotel. The village is tiny and the road is very narrow so there is only enough space for scooters not cars. Room - Our room was amazing with a large balcony and hammock overlooking the river. The view is spectacular, and we were often visited by monkeys! We had a few mosquitos inside our room, but the bed had a mosquito net around it. We were in the jungle so it is to be expected after all. We had air-conditioning and drinking water was also provided. The bathroom was huge with hot water, shower gel and a shower. Food - the food at his hotel was some of the best we had in Indonesia! If you stay here please try the Indonesian dishes they are amazing! Also Faris makes the best coffees! Staff - the staff at the jungle inn are what make this place so special! They are so dedicated and genuinely want to ensure you have an amazing holiday. Big shout out to Blake, Noora and Faris! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable Also, the staff want to practice their English so please sit and have a conversation with them if you can, it really helps them learn. Bukit lawang - I can't put into words how beautiful the village is! There are some gorgeous shops selling handmade items and lots of little restaurants. We were so sad to leave, but I'm sure we will be back! The hotel offers trekking tours, we pre booked ours with a tour operator in the village, however we would book a tour with the hotel next time rather than a tour operator. We booked a car with the hotel to take us back to Medan airport, the driver was brilliant and very knowledgeable about the local area and history. Overall an amazing experience seeing the orangutans and a memorable stay at the jungle inn.

We had such a wonderful stay at Bukit Lawang and we felt we were even more lucky to have stayed at the best place! It is the best location as it sits looking over the river! The staff are so friendly and welcoming with fantastic food - especially the rendang! The room was much more comfortable than I expected with fantastic air-con and extremely comfortable bed! I hope I will return one day! Oh….and the live acoustic music at night was fantastic! I wished I got the chance to stay another night and play with them! Yog n the milk bottle gang

Magical honeymoon experience from start to finish We’ve just left Jungle Inn after an amazing 3 nights. The entire experience was unforgettable and seamless, from getting picked up and dropped off at Medan airport to a host of activities from start to finish and delicious fresh food throughout. Special shout out to Anton and Ishan for taking us trekking and seeing 6 organutans - a once in a lifetime experience. To Bronte for the amazing Indonesian cooking class, where we learnt how to make Rendang and Sambal. And finally to Krisman and Solay for the hiking/ tubing experience, we loved singing the Jungle song with you!!! The rest of the team around the hotel and reception were fantastic and made the experience extra special. The only negative is that the stay was not long enough! We’ll be back to camp in the jungle with you next time. Tom and Phoebe

It's hard to explain how amazing this place and the people that work here are. They took perfect care of our entire group of 14 ranging from my 1 year old son to my 70 year old mother in law. Everything, from the time I started planning the trip till check out was just perfect. Accommodation: Super comfrortable with fans and coolers in all rooms and ACs in some. Food: Fantastic, some of the best we had in Indonesia. Local food and western were both superb. Staff: Incredible. Super friendly and effective. Organized our pick up at midnight in 10+ motorbikes. Sang songs for us. Played with our babies. Made the mothers laugh. Took care of all of our needs with a smile, even quirky ones. Ask and Jungle Inn shall deliver. It has direct access to the river so you will never have a dull moment. They also help guests organize any activity / experience they want to have in the jungle.
