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!

Everything! My share taxi was late but Josef still picked me up from town. Quite an adventurous trip up the jungle tracks, only the scooter's headlight illuminating the sodden path, the narrow suspension bridge and the stones and roots he had to navigate. Then Jamila cooked the most exquisite Indonesian meals for me during my stay. The main house, my room with its porch, and the garden have this wonderful tropical, colonial atmosphere even though the guesthouse is owned and run by Batak people. And on my last morning, Josef organised a jungle trek for me on very short notice. If I hadn't already booked another guesthouse afterwards, I would just have stayed on and on. I really didn't want to leave!
