All units at the homestay are fitted with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Featuring a private bathroom, some units at the homestay also feature a terrace. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I always had the feeling that the family was happy to help. I came from Bukit Lawang with completely dirty clothes and 2 hours later I had them back clean. You get a lot of suggestions and they can help with everything. Incredibly pleasant stay.

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.

The Kupu Kupu team felt like family, and their service at the guesthouse as well as during the two day jungle trek we did was more than perfect.
