Pros:

一日三餐都可以在这里解决,而且性价比高。员工非常好,注意这里大多数没有热水淋浴和空调。有需要的话要提前问好。这家住宿和徒步预订不会绑定非常好。

Pros:

Het personeel was heel erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hebben een jungle trekking geboekt bij het guest house en het was meer dan geweldig, we hebben meerdere apen gezien en ook de terugreis over de rivier was top. Omdat we nog niet alles gepland hadden in Sumatra zijn we hier ook goed geholpen om onze reis verder te plannen en ook dit was top geregeld.

Marvellous!
Pros:

This is the perfect place to stay in Bukit Lawang. The rooms are simple, but beautifully positioned in a small, picturesque garden situated on the quiet side of the river. What stood out for me were the staff. Andri, his brother and the rest of his family were so kind and helpful to me. Nothing was too much trouble and the care Andri took to make sure I had a wonderful stay (including the jungle trekking) went above and beyond my expectations.

Pros:

Spędziliśmy u Sahnana 4 noce po dość wyczerpującym 3D2N jungle treku. Bardzo odpoczęliśmy, ponieważ domek znajduje się na uboczu, jest cicho, spokojnie. Z tarasu (na którym jest hamak!) roztacza się piękny widok na ogród. Śniadania są dość ubogie, ale to nie problem, bo można domówić kolejne dania za kilka złotych. W obiekcie jest także restauracja serwująca pyszne, domowe jedzenie oraz mini sklepik. Gospodarze oferują także usługę prania.

Cons:

Materac był zbyt miękki, zapadaliśmy się.

Nice place for a night before trekking
Pros:

The place is cute, and well located so it makes it easy to leave on a trek the next day, for example.

Cons:

The facilities are very basic, so I would say it is not an accommodation I would have stayed in for a longer stay, but for one night it was totally fine.
