What a great stay we had by Reza and his staff. You feel very welcome as soon as you enter this place. Reza was also our guide on a jungle trekking we have made and that trekking was excellent and with full respect for nature and animals. We have seen an orang-oetan, monkeys, and elephants. After a great lunch at the river and some swimming in a hot spring we tubed back home.

Nice location in Tangkahan. They helped us to organise some nice activities like short jungle hikes and river tubing as well as airport transfer. The food in their restaurant was good.

The most beautiful lodge we had the pleasure to stay at! Nested in the jungle, it felt like a dream to relax listening to the sound of the forest. Everything is beautiful at the Jungle Guide, and the staff is very kind and helpful. We even had the chance to listen to some of them playing the guitar and singing, it was lovely! I can't recommend it enough!

I had the upper bungalow and the view was amazing. Tia and Pandi are super friendly and organized everything for me.

Very nice stay! Clean and comfortable rooms in a quiet place in front of a river, breakfast was good and staff is friendly :) Would come again!

Sumatra, what a wonderful place and Sam's Bungalows is a piece of paradise within Sumatra! I stayed 3 nights at Sam's Bungalows and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I communicated with Sam prior to arriving and Sam always got back to me promptly. Sam arranged a car to pick me up at my hotel in Medan. My driver (sorry, I forgot his name) showed up on time and he was a very safe, good driver. My room was great! It had a balcony with a view of the river and the jungle. I saw monitor lizards and monkeys from my room plus branches moving around across the river which were orangutans in motion. The room was comfortable and had a cool bathroom downstairs. There is no air con (you are in the jungle, not the city) but there was a fan that was adequate. I ate breakfast every day and had dinner at their restaurant one night. The restaurant overlooks the river. It was all good! The highlight of my trip was a 6 hour trek through the jungle (wear good shoes) with Rama (sp), an excellent guide. Rama was very patient and was always looking out for my safety plus he spoke English well. He also packed a yummy lunch for me which included 4 different types of fruits! During the trek, we saw 6 orangutans (3 sets/mother and baby), a hornbill, a large bird that resembled a peacock, and plenty of monkeys. Take a swim in the clear river after the hike and then raft back to your bungalow while checking out the jungle from the perspective of the river. All good! Sam has a great family and crew that are very friendly and helpful. Sam also arranged my transport from his bungalow to Lake Toba. Bukit Lawang is a very relaxing place! Give Sam's Bungalows a visit if you choose Bukit Lawang and you will have a great time, a real experience! Thank you Sam, family, and crew!

Gorgeous - beautiful spotless room, incredible setting, amazing food, convenient for any trek you have booked. The staff went above and beyond in every moment. Our stay exceeded our every expectation. Did not anticipate taking a hot shower, but they've got them.

Very clean and bright room, good location and very nice staff. Feels like family

Simple, fair price. Very pleasant styff.

I stayed here and it exceeded all my expectations. The location is perfect, right in front of the river, offering beautiful views and a unique atmosphere. The owners are extremely hospitable, always attentive and ready to help with anything you need. I booked the orangutan tour with them in Gunung Leuser National Park, and it was a magical experience — well organized and safe. You can tell they know the area very well and care deeply about both visitors and nature. The accommodation’s restaurant is excellent: fresh, delicious food with great local options worth trying. Without a doubt, I would return here in a heartbeat.
