Hotel Orangutan

Wonder place to stay for our Jungle trekking adventure. The staff was so kind and helpful. Loved the macaque monkeys passing through the hotel property. There is only cold water showers which were refreshing. To get to your room you must climb steep stairs that were beautifully made of stone.

Loved everything about this place!

Great location in Bukit Lawang, close to shops and restaurants and not a far walk to the main car-accessible road. Beautiful views of the jungle from balcony while maintaining privacy. Really cool bathrooms with rock features and big views out in the jungle. Monkeys roaming around. Staff friendly and helpful.

Just note that some of the rooms are up steep stairs

Room was spacious and cleanStaff were friendly Leant me a phone charger which was super kind!

The local party went on late and I could hear it for a while.

Very friendly personal, very big rooms with a nice balcony, nice clean bathroom with a hot shower. Perfect stay

Nothing!

Desi the manager is so friendly and helpful, she and her team are always smiling and ready to help. Communication before and during my stay was excellent and she organised my jungle trek for me with a great guide called Ronnie and my onward transport. The room was simple yet lovely with a nice view and balcony. They also provide a drinking water fountain in the room which is a nice touch.

For my third night I moved to a room higher up, but unfortunately the monkeys seemed to love it too! The cheeky rascals took over the balcony so I couldn’t really use it and I could hear them playing/fighting on the metal roof and on the balcony all night! I suppose it is the jungle after all, but I much preferred my first room that was on the middle level - I slept so peaceful there :)

Nice location and friendly staff. We had a great trek to the orangutans.

The stairs to our room were quite a decent climb but a good view at the end. Beware of the monkeys. We had two unfriendly encounters on the way to our room. We had to fend them off with our jandels. Quite scary.

The room is huge with a nice view from the balcony. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming especially Daisy and Ady.

Lovely friendly staff and big rooms with great features like ceiling fans. Our room had jungle, hill and river views. The restaurant is very good and loved the fish.We did a 2 day trek and they looked after us so well and we saw 2 gibbons, 3 different Monkeys and 7 Orangutans!Definitely trek with the hotel, they really care about conservation and are very skilled, we felt so safe

Place is actually in excellent. Basically everything is nearby, good restaurants, small shops to take sweeties or buy souveniers. Breakfest in the hotel was also good, we took pancakes with bananas and fresh coffee.

Room cleanless would have been better. While step in to the room, it look nice and clean, but when started to look around, appeared that dust-balls were seen under the bed and in the corners.

Lovely stay , comfortable and very clean.the view from the balcony was amazing and the staff also very friendly and helpful. We did a day trekking and tubing, I had lots of fun to see the orang utan up so close, can't get better than that.even though I felt over so many times to get to it ? , it's so worth it.And also thumbs ? for our guide bang jerry and his partner (so sorry I can't remember his name ) they both are amazing, knowledgeable and friendly, also very patient with me as I am taking so many breaks during our trip to see the orang utan. I definitely recommend staying at the hotel orangutan and Hopefully I will be back to Indonesia again soon. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Amazing hotel, great value for money. Rooms are large with feature four poster bed and the bathroom wall was the rock from the hillside the hotel is built against. Large balcony with a great view of the jungle opposite and glimpses of the river. Yes, there are steps to the rooms... but if you're here for the trekking I'm sure you'll be fine. No food in the hotel for us as we were here in the quiet season. Not a problem as there are local restaurants nearby. Worth checking out the other side of the river for food and drinks too. Staff were all helpful and freindly but a special mention to Monang. Humble and funny a great guide and a very warm person in general. His jungle foods on the trek were works of art. 10/10

Having to leave.

The views, the staff, the food and the service

There are a lot of monkeys who played on the roof all night which was noisy, but we were in the jungle!

The room was very spacious and it was fun to have monkeys around in the morning and evenings.

It was a lot of tall steps to the top floor room (though it was worth it).

We were in the lower building so luckily not many stairs to climb. Very good shower with good water pressure. The ceiling fan is nice. Hotel is centrally located. We just booked the accommodation for 1 night after coming back from a 2D jungle trekking with another organisation.

Beware of the monkeys and don’t leave anything on your balcony. The hotel couldn’t help it but the bar next door had loud music till 3am. Seems to happen on Saturday evenings. Made it difficult for us to sleep after a tiring jungle trekking.

Unbelievable beautiful view. The rooms are nice and the outdoor bathroom was so cool. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We did a one day trek with guides Irpan and Angar who were absolutely the best. We got to see 8 Orang Utan. It was an incredible experience.

Super location in village, the staff were very warm and helpful in every way. Vyca was exceptionally helpful and arrange our tours and transfers with great professionalism and good humour. It was super!

The room was huge with plenty of space, great balcony and location central to get to everywhere on the main street.

We stayed on a Saturday night and the place next door had loud, live music till 3am! I appreciate the hotel cant help that but hard to sleep! The stayed in the top room of the first building, the tin roof proved very loud when it rained of there was monkeys on it. We could only get boiling water out of the shower, too hot to use, when i spoke to staff, he sorted the problem and said give it 10min then unfortunately shower was cold. This only happened one day, other days great warm showers! We stayed in the lower building, we heard that there were 150 stairs to the next set of rooms, thank god we didnt have that!

We stayed four nights. We were situated in an “annex” guesthouse that was right on the river with a balcony. Beautiful. Can’t speak to the main building.

The place is super well located and close to bars, restaurants and local shops. The views from the room face the river and the jungle which was great. The staff and management were incredibly helpful throughout our stay and they also went above and beyond to deliver my wife's glasses back to Singapore after forgetting them in our room.

On the not so positive side, during our stay one of the bars near the hotel decided to throw a big party which apparently it's been going on for years. The party started at half past midnight and it finished at 3 am. The music was incredibly loud making it impossible to sleep at all.Had we known about this, we wouldn’t have booked this place, especially when you want to wake up early to go trekking.My advice would be to move further north to avoid the noise.

Staff were friendly and helpful, bed was comfortable and room was clean.

It was a bit hot a night, as I was under a mosquito net so couldn't feel the room fan, but I think this is to be expected
