Ecolodge Bukit Lawang - Hotel&Jungletrek

This location is perfect! Stunning and looks onto the river. The rooms are spacious and very comfy, with mosquito nets to over the whole bed. Service at reception was excellent and we were able to keep our luggage there over night for storage while we did an overnight jungle trek. (Highly recommended) I used Izoen, the guide, to help me organize everything needed for an enjoyable hike. Hafiz was also amazing and such a wonderful person to help when I didn’t feel well and took me to the pharmacy nearby. Very convenient, warm people and safe👌 There was just one thing I would have really liked. In the room there is no kettle and coffee/tea cups to make your own coffee and tea in the room. I think this could be a nice addition - since there are such beautiful balconies and porches to sit outside. Also there was no shower gel or hand soap in shower area. But there was a hand soap by the sink.

Pas de clim ni eau chaude

Wir waren 3 Nächte in der Ecolodge. Der Ort eignet sich super für Wanderungen im Nationalpark. Wir hatten einen tollen Guide und haben alles gesehen, was wir sehen wollten. Die Ecolodge ist insgesamt ein netter Ort, der sehr schön am Fluss gelegen ist und wo man auch entspannen kann. Unser Zimmer in der Ecolodge war trotz diverser Lampen recht dunkel. Wir hätten es auch toll gefunden, wenn die Fenster Fliegengitter gehabt hätten, dann hätte man sie problemlos öffnen können. Was uns gestört hat war, dass die Zimmer nicht gereinigt wurden, der Müll nicht geleert wurde, Toilettenpapier nicht ersetzt wurde. Im Zimmer waren viele ältere Spinnenweben, z.T. Exkremente kleinerer Tiere. Die Zimmer sind natürlich sehr offen und liegen direkt am Wald, trotzdem denke ich, könnte dort gründlicher gereinigt werden.

Friendly staff, location and green environment

I stayed for a few nights whilst doing jungle treks and the staff were lovely and so helpful. The restaurant and breakfast area is beautiful and really great views of the river. I think some of the rooms are newer but the room is was put in was quite outdated. The mesh netting round the windows to keep bugs out was broken, the mosquito net had so many holes in it did not do its job, the bathrooms are very very basic. There was one fan and no air con or outside clothes drying facilities so it is impossible to dry and clothes you get wet from being in the jungle/river. You can also hear all the noise from the village clearly in the rooms. At the weekend there is a lot of karaoke which goes on until the early hours and can be heard very loudly in the rooms.

The best place for Orangutans This lodge was really great! It’s right on the river and close to the jungle and bat cave. They use the money they earn at the lodge to support Orangutan Haven, a rehabilitation center for injured and abused orangutans.
