Accessible Hotels in Bukit Lawang

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!

We had such an amazing time here. The grounds were beautiful and the room was simple and basic but clean (you cannot complain for the price) the food was some of the best that we have had in Indonesia and our trip around Asia for the past 6 months. There are 3 cute cats too and a dog who just had some little puppies! The best part though was our jungle trekking with Supri and Rudi. They were such brilliant guides and they really made the experience amazing for us. They are such kind people and we felt so comfortable in the jungle with them. Both their English is amazing - especially as Supri lived in the UK for many years. Supri even helped us buy mosquito spray and helped me when my shoes broke 😆 and they gave us a lift to buy our bus tickets and drove us to our new accommodation. The food they gave us at the trek was so tasty too! A really important part of this trek for us was making sure our guides were ethical and respectful of the animals and jungle and you can really tell that these guys care a lot about their environment and the animals. They didn’t give any of the animals fruit and they were really careful in taking all rubbish etc away with them. They spoke so highly of their community that they grew up in and the plans they have for the future sustainability of the forest. They helped us get so (safely) close to so many orangutans 🦧 and even a huge male! Please don’t hesitate at all and book a tour with these guys! Thank you Supri and Rudi! We hope to see you again! ❤️
