You’ll feel like you’re part of the family in this beautiful hand crafted guesthouse. The view right out onto the river, with the jungle across the other side is simply stunning. I saw an orangutang whilst having the best curry, a memory to be treasured. Go, and make your own memories.
We had a great stay at this guest house. The room was a good size (top floor) and had some storage space to put your clothes. The mattress was comfortable and the room was clean. Its in a good location walking distance to everything and our host were super lovely. The food here was some of the best (if not the best) we had in Sumatra (try the rendang). I loved my time here and look forward to returning one day.
We were put up at Eriono because we made a mistake with our booking at another place and the owners know each other. That was a lucky coincidence! We loved staying in the upstairs room at Eriono (they only have two in a little house separate from the family one) which is in a really good spot in Bukit Lawang: at the quiet end of town but still so close to the centre that you can easily reach plenty of other restaurants and explore the village itself. That said, we kept coming back to eat at Eriono because the food is some of the best in the village! The room is spacious with a wash basin and a separate shower (cold like almost everywhere in the village) and the bed is also very large and comfortable. There’s some shelves and a hanger for your clothes as well. The best is the private terrace you have with two comfortable chairs and a hammock. Downstairs has a deck which is a little less private. Also note that they don’t make up your room during your stay but it really isn’t necessary either as the sheet is fabulously fitted. The macaque monkeys often come by mornings and evenings but they are not aggressive. You can hear them bounding on the roof and walk along the power lines from and to your deck. Special mention: they use environmentally friendly metal straws in the restaurant instead of plastic!! They will also refill your water bottle for a small fee. I really enjoyed staying at Eriono and would recommend it to others. Only caveat: you have to be physically able to manoeuvre the winding stairs (steepish and high) up to the top level. But for anyone with average ability that shouldn’t be an issue. …
I think they have really good food here a specially the Rendang and Vegetable curry are delicious. They only cook with fresh products. And the staff is also verry friendly as wel. Eriono guesthouse in bukit Lawang
My friend and I stayed in total 3 night at Eriono's. We loved to room. It was a very clean and friendly room with a very comfortable bed suited with a good mosquito net. We also liked the bathroom very much since it had a western toilet that flushed. The people at Eriono's are super friendly and help you with everything. We felt very welcome. We hope to be back one day!
A fantastic little guesthouse run by a young couple, who are so kind, friendly and helpful. Room was large and bed was comfy. I booked transport and tours through these guys as well, and ate at their restaurant, and can’t recommend staying here enough.
This was unquestionable the best place to stay. Owners of other "hotels" and other travelers would come here at the end of the night to hang out. Anything you've read about getting a watered down experience on your hike does not apply to the excursion I booked through them. They picked us up in Medan (a must). If I had not stayed here, I would have been wishing I did. Only downside if that there is no a/c (which was pretty standard here) but made it tough to every get wet clothes to fully dry out.
As part of our #windy500 mystery trip, this was our second stop. Bukit Lawang! There was a total of 25 people in our group staying in various places in Bukit Lawang. The people here are just soo friendly and kind, nothing is too much trouble. This little hotel is amazing, nice clean room, good shower, we were upstairs so the morning views were lovely, the breakfast was always fresh and beautiful. And then there's the monkeys!! Those lovely monkeys, running around on the roof at sunrise and stealing any food you leave laying around!! So keep the doors and windows closed as they will try to enter the room! 😂 To be honest, with the service we got, the location and the people we met in Bukit Lawang I'd say that it's one of the best places I've ever been too!
This Guesthouse is in a lovely location right on the river front away from the centre of the village so it is quiet with no traffic as cars cannot come to this part of the village. The owners were lovely and helped with all our questions. The room was really clean and very well decorated. The bed was very large and comfortable, there was no AC but the fan did a good job at keeping us cool at night! The bathroom was also clean with a western toilet, the slight downside was the loose Pebbles in the shower were very uncomfortable to stand on! The food from the restaurant was tasty with a selection to Indonesian and western foods. Very impressed with this guesthouse.
I ended up staying for one week at Eriono's. The rooms are beautifull (all of them) and comfortable. Yes sometimes you will be woken up by monkeys on the roof, but lets call that the jungle alarm :) The restaurant is the best in town, even the locals refer you to this restaurant for good food. My favorite dish was the Terong (eggplant) with sambal tomato sauce. I've eaten it four times during my stay! You should really give it a try. Kendar and Yuli make you feel like youre part of the family. The twin and the little daugther are really the cutest children. They are mostly in the restaurant and always up for some playtime. Kendar can arrange everything for you like trekking or transport. If you havent decided on where you should stay in Bukit Lawang, choose Eriono! You wont regret it :)…
