Set in Telukdalam, a few steps from Baloho Beach, Salty Dog Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property has a bar, as well as a restaurant serving Asian cuisine. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. Had an amazing stay at Salty Dog Hostel. The most beautiful sunsets are there and surf is about 20 mins away. Arif is the most genuine and helpful person we have met in Indonesia, and he's surely the coolest guy on Nias! He helped us out on many occasions and always offered genuine advice and willingness to share the Nias culture. Thanks for the great time and see you again!
Bukit Lawang
At the hostel, each room is fitted with a balcony with a mountain view. At Jungle treking & Jungle Tour if you want to stay here, you must book treking only with us the rooms are equipped with a TV, a shared bathroom, and a terrace with a city view. I had a great experience staying here. The host is a really chill, down-to-earth guy who genuinely cares about his guests. He was very accommodating to my situation and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. The room was clean, spacious, and a great place to relax after a long day. At first, I wasn’t planning to do the trekking because it was a bit out of my budget, and we initially disagreed on the price. But despite that, he went as far as to let me set up my tent on his property for free to ensure my safety, which really showed his kindness and hospitality. One important thing to note—before booking, make sure you can afford the trekking with him. He’s very passionate about it, and there could be some misunderstandings if you stay without booking a trek. But overall, if you’re looking for a welcoming place with a great host and a solid trekking experience, this is a great choice!

Great place to meet backpackers. Cheap private room is clean + towel + fan. Nice pool table and snack/drinks. Johny and the staff are friendly & helpfull. They drove me to indomaret (15min) and brought me to busstation (10min walk). John is a nice guy and a great tourguide. Jungletour is awesome. Hope to see you all again.
The location is an hidden green paradise. We enjoyed so much our stay at the end of our 4 weeks holiday in Java and Sumatra. Very warm welcome by staff and clear instructions given upon arrival. The pool is an absolute bonus! The breakfast was top! Enough variety. If you don’t want to eat in restaurant omlandia you still find enough places on the street. Prices are off course cheaper there when you travel in budget.,Although the restaurant is recommended by us.
Lovely family running the hostel. Very budget friendly with simple but tasty breakfast. Good location.
By far one of my best hostel experience of 2023-2024. Very affordable. The place is super nicely located, very clean and you got a very nice view on the whole of Berastagi. The owner, Kaesa, is really friendly and helpful. He even helped me find a cheap driver to get to Toba next! A good breakfast is included. I recommand +++.
Clean, cheap, quiet, cozy, great location.
Bua Guesthouse is a hidden gem just outside the main city of Medan. It is easy to get to and feels much safer in this area than Medan. The owner is wonderful - happy to help in any way she can. She will take you to the airport if you need and is happy to lend her scooter so you can run errands. Breakfast was fried rice and very filling. She also offers dinner for a cheap price.
Good price-quality. Podstyle bunkbeds. Clean enough. Breakfast super simple, toast with chocolate sprinkles but that's alright. Close to the airport. 50k for the shuttle. Definitely recommend for a cheap stay close to the airport, for a night before or after your flight.
Really nice accommodation in Bukit Lawang. Great location and common area. Very good food at restaurant. There is also possiblity to organise jungle trek from the hostel.
Bukit Lawang us a wonderful town and not as touristic as other places in Indonesia. The communication with the people from rain forest guest house was easy and fast and they helped us to organize a bus to Medan, a hostel there and they also organize jungle Trekkings. the staff was really nice, the food was great and the atmosphere was very familiar. Perfect location for backpackers!
