Katri Kivela Garcia2024-06-19I did 2D/1N orangutan trekking with Cheecky monkey and stayed 2 night in their guest house. I was planning everything last minute but got very fast response. Cheecky monkey organized private car pick up and drop off from Medan airport. Our driver Tondi had a very clean and nice car. He was friendly, good and safe driver. Guesthouse and surrounding was really beautiful. Food was delicious and staff helpful and kind. Our 2D/1 night orangutan trekking was very well organized. Food in the jungle was better than in many restaurants and beautifully decorated. Our guides Coco and Santa were helpful and made us feel safe when crossing the river etc. Thank you very much for great experience to all Cheeky monkey staff. We saw 7 orangutans and other monkeys too!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Gemma Davenport2024-06-18I had such an amazing experience with Cheeky Monkeys! Very responsive and organised a 4 day trek for me with amazing guides and a chef. They organised an airport shuttle for me and promptly arranged a private car to take me to the airport when the airline changed my flight. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The food was wonderful too! I would highly recommend Cheeky Monkeys to anyone!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Caitlin2024-06-17We stayed at cheeky monkeys for 6 nights originally we booked 2 nights but we loved it so much! All the staff are absolutely incredible and so welcoming. We done the jungle trek with Jerry and Santa which was amazing and both of the guys were so great! The trek was an incredible experience and I highly recommend staying at Cheeky Monkeys, the food is amazing and the facilities are spotless and clean. Like I said previously all the staff are lovely including the owners, you feel like part of the cheeky monkey family as soon as you walk through the door! Worth the visit 😊Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Abigail Nixon2024-05-17We originally booked for 2 nights and ended up staying for a week! The place itself is a very nice area to relax during the day, you can go swim close by in the river! The food cooked by chef Eli was very good. The staff were all so friendly and greeted you everyday with a big smile! We did a 2 day jungle trek and loved it. Unfortunately we got sick and the staff helped us giving us traditional medicine and taking us to the pharmacy. Highly recommend :)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Renato Lipovac2024-04-14I don't know where to begin. We are from Switzerland and Germany. Great place, lovely happy people. We were welcomed so warmly. Ade and Sarah are amazing, so friendly. They offer also a airport shuttle service. Tondi, our driver is also super funny! Rooms are simpel and clean. They have a ventilator and moskito net, even though there were no moskitos. I recommend to do the 2 day jungle trekking. Alex and Sahrol are very funny and great rangers. AND they have ice cold bear!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Juan Ignacio Riopedre2024-04-12We stayed in Sumatra Cheeky Monkey hotel for 2 days and did the 2 days-1 night trek. Coco was an amazing guide, never hurrying us and providing amazing insights. When we arrived to camp, we continued to be amazed by the great food. Coco made sure we had an unforgettable experience. Back in the hotel, food was also homemade and great, and the arrangements made by them to be picked up and taken back to Medan by Tondi (great driver and better person, who helped us through a small issue we had in the return), made everything an unforgettable and smooth experience. Can’t reccommend enoughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Sam Oakes2024-03-09A journey beyond expectation with Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys! Our adventure with Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys was an experience that went far beyond our expectations. Embarking on a jungle trek in Sumatra for the first time, expecially with my parents visiting from England, we had high hopes for an insightful and memorable exploration. Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys delivered on every front, providing an experience that was as educational as it was exhilarating. Our guide, Hendri, was exceptional. His fluency in English ensured smooth communication thorughout our journey. More impressive, though, was his profound knowledge of the jungle, which he shared with enthusiasm and clarity. Hendri educated us on the natural remedies native to the jungle, offering insights into the ecosystem's intricate balance and the medicinal properties of its flora. The wildlife encounters were extraordinary, thanks to Hendri's expertise. We had the privilege of observing four orangutans, numerous Thomas leaf monkeys, and a variety of macaques in their natural setting. These sightings were made all the more special by Hendri's ability to spot and identify these creatures, making our experience truly immersive. Choosing Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys for our jungle trek was the best decision we could have made. The trip was not just a trek but a comprehensive exploration of Sumatra's rich biodiversity, culture, and natural beauty. Hendri and the team at Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys showcased unparalleled professionalism and passion, making this adventure unforgetable. I highly recommend Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys to anyone seeking a genuine and thrilling jungle trekking experience in Sumatra. Their dedication to providing an enriching journey is evident in every aspect of their service. A huge thank you to Hendri and the entire team for giving us a treasure trove of memories. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with you!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kelsey B2023-09-24My oh my, where do I begin! The team at Cheeky Monkeys are absolutely incredible, in fact I got rather emotional leaving this beautiful and memorable place. Elli is the most amazing cook at the homestay!!! The jungle trekking tour is a MUST and a total life highlight. We went with Darwin, who is the most gentle and kindhearted man and an absolute weapon on the hike. You get fresh fruit, an amazing nasi lunch and the food in the jungle is too good to be true. If we hadn’t already booked our next destination, we would have stayed for a few more days - there is SO much to see in Bukit Lawang. After our expedition, we jammed and sang for about 5 hours into the night before the entire group said goodbye to us at midnight. This was one of the best experiences of my life and I cannot thank the team at Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys enough! ❤️
