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. The property is beautifully located at the edge of the national park (a 10/15min walk from the village through the forest where you can already spot some animals (we saw an orang-oetang on our walk to the village). The cottages are decent and have a lovely view. Here I ate one of the best banana pancakes out of 6 weeks in Indonesia. The jungle trek they organise is very good, and Ronny and Anto are an amazing guide and cook. We would very strongly recommend them! We did the three day trek and saw loads of orang-oetangs the first day and together with Ronny we decided to go more into the jungle the second day, to see more of nature and other wildlife. Ronny listened to what we wanted to get out of our time in the jungle, adapted his program throughout the day depending on this and was very knowledgeable and open to exchange thoughts and views beyond the jungle alone. The food Anto cooked was delicious! Overall the jungle trek with Ronny and Anto has been one of the best experiences in all of Indonesia and I would recommend everyone to book it with them!

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. I loved the stay in a hut so close to the nature, surrounded by quiet forest, stunning view and sound of river. Huts are simple, no electricity, which I liked. Owner took care of meals which were amazing. Also the trip to the jungle was very well organized with fruit snack and lunch. Huts are located on a hill to which lead a steep path but it is only 5 minutes hike. Alltogether maybe 30 minutes of walk from the village. You can leave your heavy stuff with owner and take only necessary things with you. During breakfast time expect visit of monkeys.

Situated in Bukit Lawang, On The Rocks Bungalows, Restaurant and Jungle Trekking Tours features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Indonesian and international cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested. We were treated like family at on the rocks, wawan and his team were so helpful and friendly that we instantly felt at home. I cannot recommend staying here enough. We did multiple treks with Wong and he was wonderful, so much information to share but also never even felt like he was a guide. Treks can be suited for your fitness level but you are almost guaranteed to see orangutans no matter where you go. The restaurant was also delicious.

An à la carte breakfast is available at the lodge. Absolutely loved my stay here, I highly recommend it! The room was cozy, spacious, and had a great view over the river. I even saw an orangutan and a few monkeys from my room. The staff was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere was really chill, with some staff members even playing guitar during the day. The food was tasty and reasonnably priced. Excellent customer services!

Brown Bamboo Guest house & jungle trekking orang-utan has mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Bukit Lawang.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy table tennis on site, or go hiking or fishing in the surroundings. We loved our stay here! The bed was super comfortable, everything was nice and clean, there’s good wifi, the food at the restaurant was very good…. we had all we asked for. But what we liked most was the attention of the family. They all helped us in all we needed and made it very easy. It is a small guest house with a few rooms only, which makes it very calm, but anyways they were able to exceed all our expectations. From arranging the orangutan tour, all transportations, hive us food when needed, do laundry, paying with credit card and even give us a scooter. Thank you for your kindness!
