What a fantastic stay! If you are looking for an accommodation in Bukit Lawang with a little more luxury (nice and spacious room, air conditioning and a hot shower), don't hesitate and book your stay at the Cheeky Monkey's Villa. The family who run it and the staff are so helpful and hospitable. You can also enjoy a delicious meal at the accommodation itself, which we did every evening. Even when I wasn't feeling well, the family was very caring!The jungle trekking organized by Cheeky Monkey's was so special and well taken care of. The guides were very skilled, with great respect for nature and animals. We saw seven different Orangutans and many other monkeys this day, something we will never forget for the rest of our lives 🙂 In addition to the jungle trekking, they also organize many other fun activities. Definitely do it!

What a beautiful humble abode. My stay here was incredible. The house has a beautiful garden and is nestled next to the river, beside the jungle and only a short walk into the town, Bukit Lawang. The family are so welcoming, and the team there are so helpful, caring and knowledgeable. The food is also amazing. You can’t go wrong staying here if you’re looking to do jungle trekking, learn more about our Indonesian culture or relax at the house.

Very nice room, comfortable bed, great property. The whole staff is super nice and helpful, we had great conversations with Sarah, Adi and an exciting game of billiards with little Aurel. Ellie's food is very tasty and special. The Sunrise Jungle Trekking with our wonderful guides Waka and Saurel was a great adventure, we saw all 4 monkey species and orangutans. The river rafting back was also a highlight!On the last evening we all played music together.Tondi picked us up from Medan and brought us back again, it was a very pleasant ride.We wish we had stayed longer. We'll come back sometime! 😊

I 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.

I 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 😆

My 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.
