    Very friendly, nice & helpful host. They pick up from the AirPort, it is possible to order dinner even if Your flight is late or take it away for long trip to the jungle. Room is clean and comfortable, hot water in the shower, cosy area far from city traffic. Great place to stopover and rest. Nice terrace with a lot of green plants, orchidea flowers, where You can eat a breakfast - it’s delicious and big. If You like hosts can organize a trip or Transportation for You by privite car or share Taxi. I strongly recommend!

    The guesthouse is located in a quiet area with a nice garden and outside area to relax. The best however was the owner. She gave us great tips and helped us organize our further trip. She owns another guesthouse in Tangkahan where we went on a jungle trip to see the Orang Utan. She made us a good and absolutely fair deal to get there, stay there, do the jungle tour and get back to Medan. We had the time of our life there.

    Tourism brings money for a few and often causes damage to nature. Eco tourism is good for everyone

    Super clean place with kind, caring, and helpful hosts. The room was great, the bed perfect for a good night’s sleep with A/C. Hot shower, strong WiFi, and everything well maintained. Food was delicious. Everything reasonably priced too! Hosts were super responsive and accommodating. A perfect stop near Medan airport or for a stay in the city. 5 stars—highly recommend and hope to be back soon!

    No, nothing to mention here

    It's just great to arrive here after a long flight. A very, very helpful staff will help you with all your questions. After leaving my card in the ATM, they took me to the city, waited for over an hour with me, then took me to another bank. I took up the entire morning of two people and their car due to my stupidity and just a tip was sufficient. It just feels so good to be helped like that. You just don't get that where I'm from. A clean and calm place to escape the busyness of Medan and I can recommend Bua to be your starting and exit point to beautiful Sumatra.

    Location is a bit on outskirts of city - makes the place quiet but does take a bit to get into the city. Not necessarily a negative depending on what you are looking for!

    Super friendly staff and very lovely, green, and open housing layout. Great facilities and nice amenities (drinking water, wifi, soap, toothbrush and paste, breakfast).

    This is a hostel type place to stay. We used it for 2 nights to enable us to recover in peace after a day & half flying & airports. They have an excellent wee restaurant across the road which we can also recommend. A most enjoyable & comfortable stay. Thanks.

    Nothing worth mentioning

    Really nice guesthouse outside the city centre with even nicer people. We stayed here twice before and after our Bukit lawang trip and were picked up + dropped off at the airport for a very reasonable price. Would definitely book again here!

    Our flight got delayed so we landed quite late, but the owners were waiting and even offered an airport pick up (which we should have used so late at night). The room was spacious, clean. The breakfast area is near a beautiful garden. Overall, very happy with our quick stay, everyone was really nice and helpful.

    Food quality could be a bit better. Aircond was not very cold.

    Best part about this place is the hospitality and the atmosphere, the hosts are wonderfully warm and hospitable. The atmosphere is so peaceful and beautiful. Lots of greens and plants around, lovely village like location. You will have a peace of mind here.

    The People at Bua Guest house are amazing. I felt very much welcome here and could not have chosen a better hostel to arrive in Medan. It is outside the city, but everything is very easy to reach by grab. Thank you so much for everything!! Untill next time!

    The owners are super nice and welcoming. Also very accommodating, I arrived very late at night from the airport and they came to pick me up from my taxi. Rooms are clean and comfortable with AC and private bathrooms. Breakfast was also very yummy! The location is quite far from central Medan but nice because it is quiet and works perfectly for a one- night stop in Medan before moving to other places.

    The only downside is that the walls of the deluxe rooms are made of wood and very thin, making the rooms a bit noisy. During the night, you can hear all traffic passing and at 4:30 AM you can hear all mosques in the area. But this can be solved with earplugs!

    The staff was very friendly, happy and helpful. The food was great, both the breakfast and lunch/dinner! Also the airport pick-up and drop-off service is very helpful, and not more expensive than a Grab.

    There is nothing to complain about this guesthouse!

    This guesthouse is perfect for a stay in Medan outside of the crowded city of Medan. The house itself is beautiful with a lot of plants, definetly made with a lot of love. The room is clean and very comfortable. It has everything what you need. Rama and the whole staff is very friendly and help you with everything. The breakfast was very delicious as well as the dinner. We also used the airport Shuttle, which was very easy to use and Book. Thank you for the recommendations and for the wonderful stay

    Nothing, everything meet our expectation.

    It was located a little bit far from the city centre but we are well aware of it so not much of a problem. We arrived late night but they still wait and help to accomodate us. Every staff is friendly, breakfast is made upon request and it was good! They have several cute dogs that are super friendly. Love the overall look of the guesthouse, lovely and quiet place to stay!
