Here are some our best review we’ve gathered from our Tripadvisor & Booking.com page:
If you want to have a good time and SEE ORANGUTANS this is the place, the team (we had two guides) knows the place like the palm of their hand, they split and search, thus, 2x chance to see orangs!! I consider this an unbeatable technique. While on our tour, we met some people that told us they saw 2 orangs in 2 days, a couple that saw 1 in their whole tour, we saw 8 orangs in just 6 hours or so!! first we saw a teen orang that started following us from the tree tops, then we crossed paths with a mama orang and her baby orang, then a single male adult, then a couple male-female, one more young adult and, THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN A LONG TIME. Breakfast was good, super good KopiSusu, omelette, banana pancakes, everything was delicious!
For me it was the best accomodation in bukit lawang. The family is so lovely, everything was super clean and it has a wonderful garden! The rooms are super cozy and the bed has the best mosquito-net ever. We even saw an orang-utan with his child in the garden eating some wild berries!! Absolutely recommend! We extend our stay for some more nights, because it was so excellent.
There was nothing not to love here. The property was clean and well-located, the staff went above and beyond for us by helping us organize rides and activities, the bed was quite comfortable, and the food at the restaurant was tasty and cheap. With the river running by so close, it felt like we were staying at an alpine lodge!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sahnan Guest House! It’s such a nice place to stay in Bukit Lawang. It’s right at the river and just a short walk from the “busy” part of the village. Rooms were clean and comfy. We also had a nice terrace with chairs and a hammock. Bathrooms were pretty spacious. The guest house has a nice garden and you can really emerge into the natural atmosphere. Sadly the Orang-Utans did not visit us at the guest house, but we were visited by some other curious monkeys.
You have to stay here!! Andri makes you feel like family straight away and is one of the kindest people we ever met, the whole family is so sweet, the rooms are beautiful and so comfortable and have hammocks outside and the food in the restaurant is amazing. We came for one night and stayed almost a week! Thank you so much for having us, we can’t wait to come back one day!
Andri was a perfect host, attending to all our needs including all our meals at the restaurant and our onward travel arrangements. The restaurant meals were tasty and well prepared and Andri made sure our vegan and gluten-free needs were met. The jungle walks were a highlight. The amount and proximity of orangutans and other wildlife that we saw was simply amazing. We ended up having one two-day walk and two one-day walks in the national park.
We really enjoyed staying here and actually didn’t want to leave. Andri and his family are really friendly! He arranged a very good jungle trekking for us, a tour to the bat cave etc. The rooms in the garden are beautiful.! Sometimes there are sitting monkeys on your terras. the food is also great. If you go tot Bukit Lawang, don’t hesitate and go to Sahnan guesthouse!
We had a lovely stay here, the family was super friendly and really helped us with everything: getting transportation, earlier breakfast, extra GB for our SIM card, laundry and more! The food was really good and there’s a semi wild orang utan with a baby that climbs in the trees next to the huts sometimes! I would highly recommend staying here.
