Guest houses Back to Nature Ecotourism

Beautiful secluded place, surrounded by nature. It takes 30-45 minutes to hike there from the edge of town, walking next to the river. It's a really nice hike, but it can be challenging with luggage or in rainy days. Great view of the national park from the balcony, we got to see some gibbons, and plenty of monkeys. You can also hike in their private land, though there's no clear paths since they are likely not walked often. Yanta is a great host, and cooked us some tasty food. They also organised a jungle trek for us, and we had a lot of fun with Edi and Rama. .

Incredible eco lodge on the edge of the jungle the furthest you can stay. Best view in Bukit Lawang. Very relaxed serene place.

It was an amazing experience. The place is surrounded by astonishing nature, and not like in Bukit Lawang centre, where all the guest houses are located one by another, with limited privacy, here you can fully enjoy being really close to nature and having cosy, calm, private space. The rooms and public spaces are comfortably and aesthetically arranged. The owner and his team are extremely supportive and helpful, and can share plenty of inspiring stories and information about the treasures of the jungle :) and ecological behaviours which prevent harming the nature. Food is super tasty and available on the spot. I highly recommend also “jungle spa”, unforgettable experience! We have seen orangutan just few hundred meters for this place. And the river is by the property so you can take a swim any moment. You need to walk there a bit from Bukit Lawang centre but for me it was just another advantage of the place, the walk is easy (you can make it in sandals/flip-flops) and through the beautiful area.

The most incredible stay to be at in Bukit Lawang. Incredible nature and view, great staff, very inspiring owner. The background of this place is so interesting and you actually support locals that want to make a positive impact on the whole area in terms of sustainable business. Enjoyed just sitting there and watching the river and jungle front so much. They're also expanding with a potential spa area, so excited to hopefully come back someday and see the place thrive!

What a gem of a place and people! It is So special and the team of people are full of heart, soul and fun with smiles at the ready. You don’t need to go trekking and sleep under plastic to experience being in the jungle as you can be in amongst it at Back to Nature swimming in the river and watching for wildlife. We saw lots of Thomas’s Leaf Monkeys, silver monkeys and white handed Gibbons in the time we were there We came for 3 nights, but stayed for 5 and only reluctantly left. Noval and Yanta did everything they could and more to make our stay so memorable from cooking special meal requests, Carrying our bags on the 2km walk in from Bukit Luwang, getting medicine in the village, climbing for coconuts and paddling us out on the “jungle taxi” (tyre tubes lashed together to make a raft) and carrying our bags all the way up the 300 steps to On the Rocks. If you want a unique rustic escape away from it all and a lovely vibe with such sincere, good people and a beautiful environment this is your place! It was certainly ours and we didn’t miss anything from a more urban environment

Nice swimming area in the river in front of the guesthouse + the opportunity to spot Gibbons & monkeys from the guesthouse.

I loved my stay here. The location is incredible - literally within the jungle. The staff are friendly and helpful, and took me out on a night jungle trek. I have never stayed anywhere like this, and I would recommend Back to Nature to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the jungle near Bukit Lawang. Truly a one of a kind accommodation.

The location of this place is amazing! It’s more remote than a lot of the other stays and that gives a really nice jungle feel to the location. Wonderful views, and possibility to swim/dip in the river. The food is simple but good, order on time or beforehand. The staff and the lodge also really take care of the environment, which is really good. It makes you feel connected to the surroundings as well. But the staff is what makes this stay so comfortable: very friendly people that deserve all the guests in the world! They also organised a jungle trek (2 days) and a raft ride back to the river on the last day.
