This recently renovated guest house features a building dating back to 2020, which is 4.9 km from the Siti Nurbaya Bridge. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. We have loved our stay with Robert & his family SO much. There’s no lie in the name; it has the most amazing view on the ocean, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful sunset with a cold Bintang. We had an amazing traditional dinner (some of the best food we tasted in West-Sumatra) & felt so welcomed by the whole family. We fell in love with Rocky, the house dog, who will guide you on any walk & find his way back when you decide to take a coffee break :) Stayed for 6 nights, Could not recommend more! THE BEST!

We like to travel a lot and for sure this is one of the best places we have ever visited. Situated next to the river with the most beautiful views. All the persons working here made our stay very special, making music at night and playing cardgames with the kids. The food also was delicious. We did three different excursions (village tour, jungle trek for 2 days and bat cave) and everything was very well organized. Also from the moment you make the reservation, there is a very good contact with the host for all your questions. We definitely want to return one day.

Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys

Bukit Lawang

Situated in Bukit Lawang, Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the picnic area or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the lake and river. The owner was so kind. Let me stay in a slightly more expensive room inside without paying the difference and got a ride back to the guesthouse from the city center at night. I wasn’t there for long but definitely felt it was a good deal for the price. It is pretty far from the center of butik lawang. You can walk it in 20min or get a tuktuk for 30rp. The walk is nice. You get to see another side to the area.

Walur Surf Villa

Krui

Situated in Krui, Walur Surf Villa offers beachfront accommodation a few steps from Walur Beach and offers various facilities, such as a garden and barbecue facilities. This homestay features free private parking and room service. This was an awesome place to stay, it’s clean and simple in a great location. However, what sets this villa apart is the owner, Frenki. He is very kind and is able to help you with anything you need. He organized us car rides, scooter rentals, and visa extensions. During our stay we got sick, he took us to the doctor and helped us get antibiotics. At the hospital my brother needed stitches, he dropped everything to come right away to help us. Night after night he showed us great local places to eat. Frenki really cares about his guests and wants them to enjoy krui. I would highly recommend staying here!
