The Jungle Guide is such a good organization. They organize trips through the jungle with stays in the jungle. the guides grew up in the jungle and share their knowledge Their english is well and they even organize karaoke evenings or play games with you in the jungle (card tricks etc). It was so much fun, I learnt a lot and I saw the Orang Utans in wild life, also many other monkey. Their lodge is placed at a hill over the river. The bungalows are simple, with a very comfortable bed. I will defetly go back.

The owner helped us to arrange the guide and airport taxi before arrival! When we arrived, my friend was not feeling well so the owner managed to change the duration of the trek and suggest other activities. Also, she managed to extend the stay and we kept the same room (from 1 night to 4 nights). We were pleased with nice food and hospitality like delivering food or tea to our room! Our room was upgraded to the family room which was more accessible from the river. I highly recommend this place!

This stay was an unbelievable experience! The location was great, because you are really in nature and the river is right next to it. We went on a 2-day trek and it was incredible to see an Orang-Utan mother and her baby! The guides were very funny and kind, I felt really comfortable. Another highlight was the BBQ we did together with live acoustic guitar music. Also we made the village tour where I learned how Tufo is made and the locals were all the friendliest people. The WIFI was working fantastically. It was the perfect get-away from the busy city life. I will definitely come again, thanks for everything.

Sumatra, what a wonderful place and Sam's Bungalows is a piece of paradise within Sumatra! I stayed 3 nights at Sam's Bungalows and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I communicated with Sam prior to arriving and Sam always got back to me promptly. Sam arranged a car to pick me up at my hotel in Medan. My driver (sorry, I forgot his name) showed up on time and he was a very safe, good driver. My room was great! It had a balcony with a view of the river and the jungle. I saw monitor lizards and monkeys from my room plus branches moving around across the river which were orangutans in motion. The room was comfortable and had a cool bathroom downstairs. There is no air con (you are in the jungle, not the city) but there was a fan that was adequate. I ate breakfast every day and had dinner at their restaurant one night. The restaurant overlooks the river. It was all good! The highlight of my trip was a 6 hour trek through the jungle (wear good shoes) with Rama (sp), an excellent guide. Rama was very patient and was always looking out for my safety plus he spoke English well. He also packed a yummy lunch for me which included 4 different types of fruits! During the trek, we saw 6 orangutans (3 sets/mother and baby), a hornbill, a large bird that resembled a peacock, and plenty of monkeys. Take a swim in the clear river after the hike and then raft back to your bungalow while checking out the jungle from the perspective of the river. All good! Sam has a great family and crew that are very friendly and helpful. Sam also arranged my transport from his bungalow to Lake Toba. Bukit Lawang is a very relaxing place! Give Sam's Bungalows a visit if you choose Bukit Lawang and you will have a great time, a real experience! Thank you Sam, family, and crew!

the location is incredible - gorgeous walks and opportunities to spot monkeys, lizards, bright butterflies - overlooking the river and jungle and with a private waterfall on the land. the staff were incredible and went out their way to help us, and were there to answer any question. We came with two year old twins who can be a handful and they made us feel extremely welcome, and helped lug and entertain the boys on the trek into the jungle to see the orangutans (we saw 4!)

Our stay at Hotel Orangutan and visit to Bukit Lawang was the highlight of our trip and one of my favorite places I have ever visited.  First, our trekking guides Amin and Holland were exceptional and our experience seeing the orangutans was magical.   Abdoullah, our driver was also excellent.  Easy to communicate with, an excellent driver, and a very pleasant, interesting man.   Staff at the Hotel Orangutan, including Vyca, were very pleasant, good fun, and helpful.  Everything was very well organized.   Anastasia, who helped organize our trip was excellent- considering our flights, dates and plans changed 3 times!  Bukit Lawang is so charming.  We had great food, many monkeys, and music in resturants every night.  The people were so nice.  I cannot recommend a trip to Bukit Lawang and Hotel Orangutan enough.  

A really great accommodation in a quit environment with riverview. The food is good. The guide Pandi took us for a rivertrip and next day for a jungle trek to see elephants and monkeys. We’ve loved it!!

Simple, fair price. Very pleasant styff.

The owner is very lovely with exceptional hospitality. The food was delicious and the room was clean and comfortable for the price
