Such friendly, helpful staff - they went out of their way to give us advice on which routes to take for our onward destination, rang to make sure we were ok and offered to help if we needed anything even after we’d left! Zoe was a great guide for our Sibayak hike. Breakfast included too. Great value.

Set within 10 km of Siti Nurbaya Bridge and 47 km of Mount Talang, Mila Homestay offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Padang. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The bed and breakfast has family rooms. I recently stayed alone at “Mila Homestay.” From the moment I arrived, I experienced the extraordinary hospitality of the homestay's owner and manager, Dila and her husband, Michel. I arrived rather late that day, because my flight from Jakarta was delayed. I was immediately offered a complimentary dinner with martabak, which of course I gladly accepted. The room I stayed in was not very large, but comfortable with good air conditioning, stable and strong wifi, and a bathroom with hot water. Mila Homestay is located a bit on the outskirts of Padang, but that didn't matter because it was actually enjoyable to take a morning walk in the rice fields and local villages behind the homestay. I will definitely stay at Mila Homestay again if next time I go to Padang!

Located in Timbanglawang, Orangutan Treks Villa & Eco-Friendly Jungle Trekking Activities features accommodation with seating area. This villa offers free private parking and full-day security. The villa provides a restaurant serving American cuisine, as well as free WiFi throughout the property. I very much enjoyed my stay here. I spent 2 nights before my jungle trek and 1 night after. I booked the 2 day/1 night jungle trek with them as well. I actually think that is the only way you can stay at their guesthouse, so they ensure that their trekking clients have accommodation. Communication with the manager, Dedycool was faultless, from the time i made my initial inquiry to when the driver picked me up at the airport. The room was spotless, the bed and pillows were some of the most comfortable I've had in 5 months of travel, and the AC did the job. The staff could not have been more welcoming, both upon arrival and every time I came for a meal or returned from an outing. The location outside of the village ensured a peaceful nights sleep. I enjoyed the 30 minute walk to the center, allowing me to see people going about their daily lives. The jungle trek was phenomenal in every way. Both guides, Edwin and Janet, were professional and got excited when we saw orangutans (we saw 7). The food both at the guesthouse and on the trek was very tasty. The trekking was challenging but not overly so. It was fun scrambling up hillsides using vines and roots as foot and hand holds. The camping was much more comfortable than I expected. The camping mats were thick, and the lightweight sleeping bag was just right for the temperature. The rafting back to the village was super fun and a great way to end the 2 days in the jungle. I'm very pleased with my decision to book through Sumatra Orangutans Treks.

Providing lake views, Mario Lakeside Apartments in Tuk Tuk provides accommodation, a garden and barbecue facilities. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. Wonderful 4-night stay. The owner and staff are super kind and welcoming. The apartment was so functional--I can see why it can also be rented long-term. Favorite thing was probably the hammock and view of the lake, as well as the convenience of the vegetarian restaurant!

Providing garden views, SeaGate Bungalows in Sabang offers accommodation, a private beach area, an open-air bath and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Don’t miss out on this gem. The best place we stayed in Indonesia. The bungalow is very romantic. Located directly by the sea, nice and comfortable bed (with a good mosquito net which is not on the pictures), tank with drinkwater and really nice bathroom with warm water and a proper shower. A few meters away from the bungalow, there is a private beach where you can snorkle (gear is available at the bungalow). Amazing reefs and fishes only 3 meters from the shore. The bungalow is also located centrally in between Iboih and Gapang beach on the one side, and Sabang city on the other. Both can be easily reached by scooter which you can rent from the hosts (it’s the best scooter we had in Indonesia so far)! Besides the bungalow we have to mention Borja and Yuyun, the hosts. They were by far the best, sweetest, most helpful and most welcoming persons we have met during our travels. They invited us for dinner in Sabang city, helped arranging transportation (not only on the island, but could also help with transportation in other places in Indonesia), and lots of other things. Yuyun even joined us to the phone shop in Sabang city to buy a new Indonesian simcard (since the initial one we bought in Bali didn’t work). We would recommend everybody to pay a visit to Pulau Weh. The people are the nicest people ever, the “island vibe” is unbeatable and diving here is amazing. Moreover, we would recommend everybody to stay at Seagate. You will never forget the experience! We hope to be back here one day! Thanks a lot Borja and Yuyun!
