Yakup and his family were fantastic - we were made to feel at home INSTANTLY! Amazing communication with us as we navigated from Medan to Bukit Lawang and greeted us with warmth. The room looked exactly like the photos and are incredibly good value for money. We did the day tour with Tommy who looked after us well, showed us many orangutans, monkeys and shared his knowledge of the environment with us. I can’t remember the exact price but it was really good value for money and we were able to ride back through the village down the river on the tubes/tires to finish our day and go for a swim. We had a lovely stay here and even got to name the cat, Prince Harry, and keep our key ring for the room (as we mentioned we liked it)!

Very nice simple wooden room. Bed with mosquito net. The owner is a nice humble guy who supports the local village and nature, e.g. by giving work to people who might otherwise do poaching. He offers great jungle trip to see orangutans. I recommend the room and also the trip, I enjoyed it to the fullest.

This has been the best stay we’ve had so far throughout our travels in South East Asia. Yakup and his wife helped us so much and were so kind to us from the start. The jungle trek with Yakup was amazing. We saw so many orangutans as well as other wildlife and was the most incredibly experience. Tubing down the river was so refreshing and included in the price. Before our trek, Yakup’s wife made us a delicious breakfast accompanied by a coffee, which fuelled us for the beginning of the trek, followed by incredible food and fruit throughout the rest of the day.

The location is amazing. you’re pretty much in the centre so have a very easy walk to either side of the village. You can visit various caves, cafe’s, bars, as well as relax by the river which is a 30 second walk away.

We would highly recommend this place!

Akomodasinya spektakuler, dengan segala yang Anda butuhkan. Sangat bersih. Pemiliknya sangat ramah dan membantu. Selalu memperhatikan untuk membuat masa inap menjadi pengalaman terbaik. Lokasinya fantastis, dekat dengan restoran dan kafe, serta dekat dengan sungai. Kami melakukan trekking seharian bersama pemilik akomodasi dan itu adalah salah satu pengalaman terbaik dalam hidup kami. Dia adalah pemandu bintang 5, menjelaskan segala sesuatu tentang orangutan dan habitat alami mereka, serta hewan lain di hutan. Makan siang dan buah-buahan eksotisnya sangat lezat, dan makan di hutan adalah pengalaman yang unik. Sebagai penutup, perjalanan menuruni lereng adalah puncaknya, dan arung jeram di sungai benar-benar menegangkan. Kami menyukai Bukit Lawang, tetapi bagian terbaiknya adalah menemukan akomodasi ini dan orang-orang bintang 5 ini. Terima kasih banyak untuk semuanya.

Homestay très bien situé dans Bukit Lawang avec plein d'endroits pour manger très local mais j'ai toujours mangé au même (y compris les petits-déjeuners) à 2 min à pied.
La chambre a une très belle terrasse avec table pour manger et hamacs. Au calme.
La chambre est très simple mais propre et confortable. Eau froide certes mais pas très grave.
Les propriétaires sont super accueillants et ont tout organisé pour moi très très bien. Mon arrivée depuis l'aéroport, le trek de 2j /1 nuit dans la jungle (magnifique expérience) et transfert vers Berastagi.
Tout s'est très bien passé et je recommande cette homestay à 100%.
Merci Ema pour tout !

Tour was great! Plenty of orangutan sightings, guides were perfect and the food was incredible! Trek harder than expected but so worth it. The homestay is also a great location and communication is great. Arranged pick up and drop off from Medan too, appreciated that a lot.

The owner is very nice. He organised everything: the trek (with a very good agency), a bus ticket to lac Toba and help me to come from Medan.
The homestay is in the centre of Bukit lawang. The room has a large terrasse. Very good quality for the price.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in Sama sama Homestay & Trekking. Wir haben 3 Nächte gebucht und waren davon eine Nacht auf der Djungeltour. Diese haben wir direkt mit Sama sama gebucht. Jakub (unser Guide und Vermieter der Unterkunft) war unglaublich freundlich und immer gut drauf. Wir haben die 2 Tage, eine Nacht Djungeltrekking tour gemacht, welche ein Highlight unserer ganzen Reise war. Der Aufenthalt in Bukit Lawang bei Jakub und Sama sama homestay & Trekking war eine unglaubliche Erfahrung, ich kann die Unterkunft und genauso die Trekking tour von Herzen empfehlen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

オーナーがフレンドリーで優しい。
部屋はファン付きで、4月初旬だと暑くなかった。
トレッキングに行っている間、荷物を預かってくれた。

The owner is very kind and friendly. The room has a fan, which was more than enough for early April. They also offer luggage storage while you're away on a jungle trek.

I love the hammocks on the balcony porch and the new and simple but oh so cosy rooms

Ägarna var så trevliga och hjälpsamma!⭐️

Tout était très typique et confortable

Good location, on main street.
Very nice host and his wife.
Very good contact before travel to Sumatra, good price for transfer from the airport
Trekking with Yakup (host), fulfill my expecattions.
We met orangutans and few other monkeys, food cooked by Yakup and his friend in camp in the middle of jungle was great. Night without electricity and wifi was nice experience.
Also rafting was great experience

The location was ideal. Hosts were nice and kind.
Very accessible to village and river.
Hiking experience was good. Value of money.
There are very good spots and cafes nearby.

The lovely couple leaves me with sufficient personal space while availing themselves readily when I needed assistance. Its location opposite the visitor centre makes for easy navigation, pickup convenience, and ease of mind. Great starting point to explore the surrounding.

Exceptional hospitality, guidance, and support from the family made my stay unforgettable. During our animal observations, we explored the jungle in ways no organized tour could offer, while working on a photography project aimed at raising awareness of local species—including the often-overlooked butterflies that play a vital role in maintaining the flora—and promoting sustainable tourism. Thanks to Yakup, I also gained a deep insight into rural life and agriculture beyond Bukit Lawang.

The room and facilities are practical and well-equipped, providing everything needed for a safe and comfortable stay. At the same time, they offer a genuine sense of being close to nature. The mosquito net kept insects out, and the property is located near restaurants serving traditional Indonesian food.

This place inspires something far deeper than journeys—a sense of responsibility for the forest, as it gives you so much in return.
