I came to Bukit lawang for 4 days but I stayed 3 weeks…Putra, Maya and Fitrya are now a second family for me. They are so kind, generous and always have a smile on their face. And not to mention, cook the tastiest meals (terimakahsi Maya + Fitrya) at a really good price too! Overall, I would recommend to anyone coming to Bukit lawang to stay with this incredibly welcoming family.

We loved the Fun Family Guest house/ homestay. Accommodation is basic and very clean. Putra's family and staff are awesome. Felt like living with a family. We ate most meals with them. The Guided Jungle trekks were out of this world fabulous!! They start an hour before other companies to see more animals. Henry and Putra were fabulous guides with endless knowledge about the forest, animals, insects and environmental local issues. We saw so many apes and monkies that I lost count!! SO many Orangutans! Mother's with Babies multiple times daily. Our trekks ended with beautiful waterfall swims. What a 3 days we had. Highly recommended 👌

The hospitality, Putra and his family were amazing. We did a one day trek with Putra and had an amazing time. We really feel that because he is actually from Bukit Lewang the authenticity of the tour is so much better than with an international company. The tour is challenging but so worth it, and lunch made by Putra’s wife feels like a reward! The tour in itself would get a 10+ for sure! If you are not a big fan of sleeping in the jungle (as we are), the one day tour is also a great option. The accommodation itself is very basic but better than expected for the price. It’s clean, you have your own bathroom and there are no bugs.

I don't even know where to start because the whole stay at Bukit Lawang was absolutely amazing. A very friendly and always smiling family who always helped us with everything. I highly recommend going on an overnight jungle trip with Putra and Dande. We saw a lot of orangutans and other wild animals. Putra and Dande really tried to make us comfortable and see as many animals as possible. The trip was very well organized. A big thanks also goes to the whole team who cooked truly divine meals in the jungle, but also took care of changing the bed linen and preparing the boats for the river crossing. In the jungle, we felt like we were in a five-star hotel. It was certainly not our last trip to Bukit Lawang and we will be very happy to come back again.

The accomodation is in a very good position. Putra and his Family provide you everything you need from AIRPORT TRANSFER, JUNGLE TOUR, RESTAURANT and LAUNDRY. Putra, the Owner was born in town and he knows the Jungle like his pocket. He is one of the best guide in town. Don't waste time to looking for a guide. He is the best already. We did 3 days trek and was an amazing experience. Thank you very much for your passion and kindness

For the price, the hotel is great. The location couldn't be better, and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend booking the jungle tour through the hotel. Our guide, Henry, was absolutely amazing, and it was a wonderful experience.

The place is really nothing special, but the people are nice and we went on a good jungletour

Putra and his family are so lovely and really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and like you have everything you need. All the food I had was great. The accommodation is basic but very clean and in the perfect location. It’s right on the river in a great spot which is popular for jumping off a rock, so the upstairs terrace makes for great people watching. The jungle trek with them was excellent, Putra is a responsible guide who looks after you well. You can book everything and ask any questions when you arrive and he was flexible when I got sick the night before. He also suggested if you are thinking about doing a longer trek that you can decide whilst on the trek if you want to stay longer, rather than having to commit before, which I thought was great!

I ended up staying at the other building the owner has that’s further up the street due to availability. The room was perfect, with an ensuite and fan and a really lovely balcony with a view overlooking the village. It was called ‘Dina.s’. I highly recommend staying there- the owner and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. I think this location is actually nicer than the main building people stay at beside the river.
