The hotel is nestled in edge of the jungle and river which gives you a amazing view of both them. Ask for the room near to the river, they are huge with the balcony facing the river and jungle where you can spot monkeys and if you are lucky an "orangetang" as well. You can admire the nature meanwhile having... More

Bukit Lawang's accommodation area is strangely reminiscent of a Nepali village, with a rough track running between restaurants and hotels. That means that the closer you are to the end of the paved road you stay, the more foot and motorcycle traffic you'll endure. Fortunately, Jungle Inn is at the very end of motorcycle transport, so there's only the rare... More

Was promised the "Honeymoon Suite" when made reservations, turns out there are only 2 so did not get that room, I think they promise everyone those rooms because when we talked to other people staying there they said they had reservations for the Honeymoon suite also, and never got that room either. We were put in the building that was... More

This place is fantastic - Fredy and the gang were so welcoming we felt like we'd been absorbed into a family. Don't go expecting a resort style hotel - think of it as an adventure lodge and your expectations will be more accurate. The place was clean and gloriously quirky... we enjoyed two different rooms, the honeymoon suite at the... More

Our family - made up of the grandparents, parents and 2 children under 8 - spent 4 days in Bukit Lawang and the Jungle Inn. There is a wide range of rooms, both in style and brightness. If this is important to you, ask for one that looks out over the river (versus one at the back). The rooms were... More

Close to the National park with a lovely view of the river and rainforest. Jungle Inn is the perfect place for families. Since it is on the other end of the village and close to the forest it is very peaceful and just a nice ten minutes walk from the road. They provid pick up service in Medan and can... More

For the price, which was very reasonable - the room was spectacular (it would be spectacular even if the price was higher), the service was good, the bathroom was great - outdoors and huge! The view of the jungle was fantastic - we saw an orangutang walking along the other side of the river from our balcony. What else can... More

What we did not like: a) Staff: The manager was not hospitable. Upon our arrival, without any greetings of welcome, instead he aggressively went straight... More
