The location is a perfect base for jungle trekking but the best thing is the incredible staff and the amazing food. I’m genuinely sad to leave and it feels like I’m leaving my home. Everyone works so hard to make it a fabulous experience. Special thanks to Ellie for the best food ever, Ade for his kindness and patience, Mr Wong for his his humour and care ❤️ hope to see you again

Bayu, Jaka and their whole team provided the best customer service I’ve ever experienced—genuinely warm, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. I felt completely safe and incredibly welcome throughout my stay, which made all the difference for a solo female traveller. Every staff member I interacted with went above and beyond to make sure my visit was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They helped me organise the jungle trek which I was initially nervous about but they made sure I was comfortable with the options. I will definitely be back for a longer stay. The trek they organised was fantastic too. My guides - Ponidi and Naufal - were knowledgable, friendly and made sure we had a unique experience.

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.

Exceptional hospitality, guidance, and support from the family made my stay unforgettable. During our animal observations, we explored the jungle in ways no organized tour could offer, while working on a photography project aimed at raising awareness of local species—including the often-overlooked butterflies that play a vital role in maintaining the flora—and promoting sustainable tourism. Thanks to Yakup, I also gained a deep insight into rural life and agriculture beyond Bukit Lawang. The room and facilities are practical and well-equipped, providing everything needed for a safe and comfortable stay. At the same time, they offer a genuine sense of being close to nature. The mosquito net kept insects out, and the property is located near restaurants serving traditional Indonesian food. This place inspires something far deeper than journeys—a sense of responsibility for the forest, as it gives you so much in return.

The staff were really helpful in organizing everything and carrying out the trek and made sure we were as comfortable as possible, easy going and safe. Our guide was a walking encyclopedia and my son loved him. He didn't want to leave the forest.
