What a pleasure it was to stay at Cheeky Monkeys! Everyone here was so friendly and so kind, and with its lovely setting overlooking the river, you’re really in a world apart. I only did the 3-hour jungle trek, but saw the orangutans and Thomas leaf monkeys. My guide, Bambang, was not only a wealth of knowledge, he patiently told me where to place each foot while winding up and down and through jungle roots, vines, and muddy patches. Such a nice man! The transfers from Medan and back to the airport were flawless and the drivers excellent. As for the accommodations at Cheeky, descriptions here are accurate. Food was good, the impromptu guitar after dinner was fun, and the WiFi connection in my room was much better than I expected. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back in the future.

I will never forget my time in Batu Kapal! The guest house is surrounded by a jungle landscape that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. There is a river close by that is perfect for a refreshing swim. The best of all: The exciting wildlife, filled with unique animals I’ve never seen in my entire life. When I woke up and looked around, there was a wild Orang-Utan mom with her child! At first I couldn't believe my eyes and thought I was still asleep - but they were actually there! We also visited a waterfall which I had a lot of fun at. The family who lovingly built the site, could not have been more welcoming. Not only were they incredibly friendly, but they were also funny and caring, and they shared with me their immense knowledge of the Sumatran wilderness. The food was delicious and many of the ingredients were freshly gathered near the property. I realized that one night was way too short and I spontaneously decided to stay 4 more nights. I recommend this place from the bottom of my heart! I will come again one day, that’s for sure.

Our stay here was amazing! The room is spacious, bed is comfortable, bathroom also nice and everything is clean. Also the room has a big balcony with incredible view. The staff was also great, we arranged everything we needed through them and it was not a problem. We also booked a one day jungle trek with them and it was excellent. Our guide Dani and his brother were good guides and also very nice people.

It was an amazing experience. The place is surrounded by astonishing nature, and not like in Bukit Lawang centre, where all the guest houses are located one by another, with limited privacy, here you can fully enjoy being really close to nature and having cosy, calm, private space. The rooms and public spaces are comfortably and aesthetically arranged. The owner and his team are extremely supportive and helpful, and can share plenty of inspiring stories and information about the treasures of the jungle :) and ecological behaviours which prevent harming the nature. Food is super tasty and available on the spot. I highly recommend also “jungle spa”, unforgettable experience! We have seen orangutan just few hundred meters for this place. And the river is by the property so you can take a swim any moment. You need to walk there a bit from Bukit Lawang centre but for me it was just another advantage of the place, the walk is easy (you can make it in sandals/flip-flops) and through the beautiful area.

Everything. Everyone involved in the accommodation and its services were so friendly and helpful. They always had a smile on their faces and engaged in talk so you feel very comfortable being there. Recently they opened their restaurant which serves amazing food so I had no need to eat elsewhere, plus canter for certain dietary requirements. Plus a beautiful garden to enjoy and 3 lovely dogs too.

I had a wonderful stay at Grandma guesthouse. Stayed for 3 nights, went on a multi day trek and then returned for one more night. My return felt like coming home. Yusuf and his family are very warm and welcoming, and will go above and beyond to make you comfortable. Organising the trekking and onward travel with Yusuf was super easy and very well organised. He also has a school for underprivileged children, which I went to visit and helped to teach English and played badminton with them. The girls also practise traditional dancing in the Warung connected to the guesthouse (which serves really cheap and tasty local food), so by staying here you will experience more than just the jungle, but also get an insight into the local community. A great experience that I’ll never forget. Thank you Yusuf and family!

The brewed us delicious coffee each day and were always up for some nice and interesting smalltalk.

Alek is the most helpful homestay host we have had. He managed to sort out our 3D2N trek the night before we wanted to go and he lent us his bike to travel to an ATM. The location is ideal and lots of nice places to eat right outside. Well worth the price!!
