Riverside Guesthouse and Treks

Although only staying for 1 night, we had a lovely stay at Riverside Guesthouse. The room is very spacious with a large bathroom and was super clean. The bed comes with a mosquito net which is great. The real stars of the show here though are both the views from the top floor and the lovely hosts, Marie and Fadill. Breakfast was delicious and very filling which was much needed for our jungle trek ahead. We would highly recommend staying here!

This was a wonderful place to stay in a paradise- like location. It is small, family run ( Indonesian/ French couple and their son) and completely warm and welcoming. The building is newer and in an area of Bukit Lawang that is a bit further from the village proper, which we found relaxing ( everything is accessible on foot- it’s a small place!). Our hosts went above and beyond to show us around and make us feel welcomed. Fadill arranged an amazing jungle trek for us with a guide who was trained, knowledgeable, ethical and well- suited to be patient with my kids (13 and 9). Highly recommended.

Marie and Padil made us feel like family. They are super kind and caring. We had some very nice and long chats with them. The room is spacious and clean with private bathroom and a cute terrace. They also have a beautiful rooftop where one can relax and observe the jungle and the cheeky makakes. Would definitely stay here again!

La guest-house est magnifiquement située, nous avions des chambres avec terrasse et hamac, pour profiter de la vue sur la colline couverte de jungle. La vue depuis le roof-top, depuis lequel vous prenez votre petit-déjeuner en regardant passer les singes, est de toute beauté. Si le confort des chambres est simple mais largement suffisant (mais pas d'eau chaude), l’accueil par Marie, son mari et leur fils est tellement sympa que vous avez l'impression d'être en famille. Il y a plein de restaurants et échoppe aux alentours et aussi la possibilité de faire laver le linge dans le voisinage, de même que les tours guidés pour aller voir les orang-outang. Ils peuvent aussi organiser le transports depuis et en direction de Medan.
