    This is juste the perfect place ! At the end of the village, so more quiet, front of the gorgeous river. My bungalow was huge and very charming. But most of all Tia welcome you in the best way. She's very kind and gives very good advices, so you can trust her to organise a treck in the forest. I did it and it was a magic moment ( and physical ! ). I love Bukit Lawang, it's a very beautiful place and you can trust me : go to Rambai Tree Jungle lodge you will love it !

    There was nothing that we didn't like. We were made to feel like family x

    This is the most amazing place to stay. I've been to the jungle in India, Borneo and the Phillipines but Rambai Tree Eco Jungle Huts not only provided the most comfortable accommodation but they made us feel like family ❤️🙏. Romi and Tia communicated efficiently and clearly from the moment I booked, several months ago. They provided a very reasonably priced, friendly and knowledgeable return airport shuttle - Wayhu, and the best guides - Ronie and Nanda. We saw Orangutans, Gibbons, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, and a monitor lizard in just a half day trek! As well as being visited daily by the local Macaque troop and several large bats. Tia cooked us the most fantastic farewell dinner and we were genuinely sad to leave. Nothing was too much trouble for them ❤️

    The owner helped us to arrange the guide and airport taxi before arrival! When we arrived, my friend was not feeling well so the owner managed to change the duration of the trek and suggest other activities. Also, she managed to extend the stay and we kept the same room (from 1 night to 4 nights). We were pleased with nice food and hospitality like delivering food or tea to our room! Our room was upgraded to the family room which was more accessible from the river. I highly recommend this place!

    The shower only had cold water, but considering the location and weather it wasn't too much of a problem, still a very enjoyable stay.

    We went as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The staff were very friendly and very helpful. They arranged our transport from and to the airport, as well as our trekking into the park. The guide was excellent and we had an extra assistant to help with the kids who was also very friendly and helpful. I would recommend booking all these extras through them. It is a beautiful setting on the river. The cabin was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. They can serve food and have cold drinks for sale. The children really enjoyed playing on the rocks and swimming in the river. Overall a very good experience and highly recommended.

    Water pressure not so strong and the water can get a little too hot. Also due to raindrops/branches kept falling on the rooftop, can be a little noisy to sleep at night. Or maybe it was just our luck that time during raining season.

    Nice balcony with a view. Big bed and one extra bed down stairs. The bed downstairs is quite cooling.

    Our stay at Rambai Tree lodges was magical. Tia was incredibly helpful and the people in general who work for Rambai and within Bukit Lawang are so so lovely. She helped sort us out with a guide to go and see the Oragutans and we managed to see 8 of them in one day. The guides are knowledgeable, interesting and passionate giving a wonderful overall experience. The food was exceptional and Tia is a phenomenal cook, always providing us with delicious fresh fruit afterwards. The location was exceptional, right on the edge of the National Park and with the roaring sound of the river outside, it was big, clean and comfortable. When we arrived we were greeted by Thomas Leaf monkeys on our porch, it was truly magical and I would recommend this place in a heart beat.

    Everything was perfect, the only thing that I could say is that the mosquito net was too thick (more like a bed sheet) so the air from the fan couldn’t go through so it was a bit hot and humid in the bed.

    The views are stunning and Tia and the stuff are amazing. So welcoming and helpful. They also helped me to get the guide for the orangutan trekking excursion.

    Honestly at first when we arrived at night, it was raining heavily, we were shocked to find this property was the only one with no electricity. Turned out there was a blackout due to a tree fall, and they don‘t use a generator, which is actually a good thing that we support. We love everything about our stay, comfortable room where we saw different animals, including some monkeys from the balcony. Everyone working here were very helpful and kind. Certainly a place to stay, when you appreciate nature like us, and not bothered by the hike going upstairs.

    10/10 recommend staying at this place when visiting Bukit Lawang. Tia the owner is the nicest and most helpful host and made sure all my questions and organizational issues (like figuring out how to get from Bukit Lawang to Banda Aceh) got taken care of super quick and with so much care. I also took a cooking class with her which was really cool and the driver Wahyu that picked me up from the airport was also such a nice person to have met. The 2 days 1 night Jungle Trek I organized with them also was really great! Our main guide Jojo was so knowlegable and fun and made sure we had a great experience. I especially loved how attentive he was with me being vegan and made sure I got really great food during the 2 days. Nando and him were a great team to guide us through the Jungle! I was travelling alone and stayed in the upper room for 2 nights and really loved my time there. You can really tell that this place is run with a heart and i couldnt have felt more welcomed and at home away from home :). Apart from the team the location of the place is also just extra special! Thank you so much for everything, would love to come back someday :)

    Great location next to the river where you can swim and next to the jungle, so be sure to hear and see apes. The owner/staff is very friendly and supportive and prepared also local food for us. We had the two apartments for our family of 7. The rooms are clean, pretty new and have lots of atmosphere. We would stay here happily again for sure
