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.

A peaceful and cozy place
Pros:

A peaceful and cozy place. The terrace with a hammock and a beautiful garden view was the best. Wifi worked well, the mattress was good, there was a mosquito net, although I didn't find the mosquitoes a big problem and it was peaceful to sleep. The air conditioning was also effective. You only get a small hand soap in the bathroom, so bring shower gel, shampoo, etc. The family running the guesthouse is absolutely lovely. They take good care of their guests. I got help organizing transportation from Medan to Bukit Lawang and from there to Lake Toba. They also met me where the shuttle from Medan dropped me off and helped with my bag. Same thing when I left. Great service! They also organized a one-day jungle trek and we managed to see three orangutans up close. Thanks to my guide Amri, who is part of the family running the guesthouse

Cons:

There wasn't much I didn't like. The shortcomings that there were were already known in advance, so nothing was promised that didn't happen.

Relaxte lokatie met zeer goede service.
Pros:

Gelokaliseerd op een mooie rustige plek aan de rivier (moskee wel hoorbaar).
Porch met twee stoelen en een hangmat waar je lekker kunt relaxen.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel die behulpzaam zijn op allerlei manieren om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken, inclusief het organiseren van transfers en een jungle tour.

Cons:

Vrij hard bed, wel met een klamboe.
Douche met alleen koud water waarbij de vloer de hele dag nat blijft. Hier moet je iedere keer over heen naar de wastafel en het toilet.
Basic ontbijt.
