Noa Pfister2024-10-30I booked the accommodation for a few days and ended up staying for two weeks. I liked it so much because the staff and the owners were very nice and also spent time with me, which I really appreciated as a solo traveler. The accommodation is a little away from the center but is beautifully situated in the nature. There is also a river nearby where you can cool off. I can highly recommend Cheeky Monkeys.
Poppy Pinner2024-09-21I stayed with Cheeky Monkeys for 5 nights (2 of those in the jungle on a 3D2N trekking tour) and I had the best time! The location is beautiful with a river nearby for swimming and a short walk along the canal into the centre of Bukit Lawang. Plenty of shops, warungs and laundry nearby or the food cooked onsite is great too! Special shoutout to the staff who went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our time, even though there was a family emergency for them during my stay. Rian and Sarol were the best guides, their enthusiasm and energy was super and a decent level of english speaking which meant we could talk a lot more about the animals, the jungle and also joke around and have fun ☺️ I will be recommending all my friends to come here, and maybe one day be back for a longer trekking experience 😆
dibyasri nandi2024-09-08My husband and I had stayed in Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys in June 2024. The property is neat and clean and overlooks the jungle. There is a river flowing by just in front of the property. Sarah, Agus and other stuffs made us feel at home away from home. We opted for 1 day jungle trek to Gunung Leuser National Park and bat caving and barbeque by Landak river on the next day. Our guide Jerry and porter Sahrul were friendly and skilled. We were able to see orangutans at their natural habitat. We walked through Rubber plantations on the way to Gunung Leuser National Park. Inside the park, we experienced the rich biodiversity of local flora and fauna. The lunch provided was very good too. These people care for the jungle a lot. Bat caving was quite fun too. Barbeque by the Landak river was an wonderful experience. The water was very refreshing. Jerry and Sahrul made the barbeque while we relaxed by the river. Swimming in the river is very refreshing. Foods at the property were delicious too. We especially enjoyed the gado gado salad and Rendang curry. Sarah arranged our visit to Berastagi and Sipiso piso waterfall and Batak culture tour as well. Volcano sunrise trek was something I experienced for the first time. Our guide for the volcano trek was very experienced and knowledgeable. And last but not the least I would like to mention our driver Tondi who was always on time and made our tour seamless. I would highly recommend Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys.
meghan lambert2024-08-05Quiet, cozy, clean. Delicious food served in their restaurant - local reindang was the best! The staff were all very warm and friendly - they went out of their way to care for our specific needs as a family. Right on the river for a swim. Family friendly, as our kids played with all the staff’s kids. Highly recommend! They also organized airport pick-up for us and our trekking tour,which was flawless and an amazing experience!
Pien Van Eyken2024-07-26I loved everything about my stay and jungle trekking at Cheeky Monkeys 🙌🏼 the staff and tourguides were so nice and helpful! I had a lot of fun with them and the other guests. The room was also very clean, and they perfectly arranged all of my transportation, which was a big help. The jungle trekking itself was one of the best experiences ever, tourguides Rian and Santa taught me so much about the jungle, while respecting the plants and animals.

Nice place, nice people. They helped me before, during and after my stay. They also organised my jungle trek and one of the staff lent me his backpack because mine was too small! Thank you everybody
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!
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!
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 😊
