The location was amazing and the staff went above and beyond what was necessary. For the price it was beyond comparison but as a result of the very low price, don't expect 5 star luxury

The acommodation in the bungalow was not bad, could be improved but was very good for its price. The people here were extremely nice. The jungle tour with Nanda was amazing, the food was great. Its people was so great! I learnt a lot from them and they are hard working people! Nice experience.

A, The place needs to be cleaned more , with ants everywhere . First I thought its because its close to jungle until I opened the dustbin... B ,theres only one plug in the room, which is for the fan. C, If you dont mind no water most of the time , no wifi at all , its your place . After all, its cheap and located in the jungle . Im just curious how people manage to brush their teeth in the bathroom like that. D , It would have been better if the reception is more informative but maybe English is another problem.

They are kind enouh to pick me up from Bukit Lawang at a very reasonable price. And when I go to Medan , they also called the public bus for me so I wont have to walk to find it in the morning.

Situated right on the banks of the river looking out over a beautiful spot of the Forest. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and the food was excellent quality. We took a trek into the forest and our guide Nandi was brilliant We also took the elephant morning tour to wash them and hand feed them, was a lot of fun and the elephants are well cared for

The room only has a bed, a fan (in lieu of AC) and a toilet. Necessities such as a small table, mirror and wardrobe are not available. For bathing purposes, visitors must bring their own toiletries, as well as flip-flops for footwear in the room are not available. Some of the room lights are not bright enough. Innkeepers need to pay attention to the most basic needs of visitors, as noted above. And lastly, the most important thing is that visitors don't forget to bring mosquito repellent or body insect repellent.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner is available upon booking, the menu is limited. For foreign visitors, the choices can be a hassle, but for local tourists, the menu choices are in accordance with the local people's diet. They are good and taste. The location of the inn is very close to the river, it is not far from main road either. Managers and workers are very helpful and friendly.

We arrrived on friday. Unfortunatelly the place was full booked by locals with a kind of event , so they have used loudspeaker until 2 am fot that event. We coudn't sleep well, that was also the main reason we've decided to check out the next day since the owner told us that the group will stay on weekend. Pity, otherwise the place could be perfect in serenity.

Friendly staff and owner. Good price for good bed in private room and elephant washing, basic but clean room, big portion of meal, green location with riverview. Helpful by arranging public transport.

I thought I booked the Chalet but it was a standard room. The quality was low, it was "rustic basic" rather than standard. The room was neglected with dirty walls and floors and a hardly functioning shower. Its a place for a night just to sleep. A price of 3-4£ per night would be more adequate than 5.80£, which is what I paid for other Standard Rooms, which were nice and comfortable.

I met wonderful local people at the lodge. We went tubing and elephant washing together. I had an unforgetable stay due to the kind-hearted, fun people I met.

The staff was not friendly. We wanted to see the waterfall and the elephants, but they weren’t bothered at all. Even when we tried to ask with google translate, they didn’t care to gives us proper directions. The only person that spoke english also didn’t care to help us out. Since there was no phone reception for us, we were quite lost as to where to go or how to find things. In the end we could only get our room at around 4:30, even though we should have gotten it by 2 p.m. If you want to go to Tanghakan and are a Westener, just go somewhere else.

The room itself was very nice. Shower and toilet outside was very clean. Tangkahan itself is a quiet town, the river is beautiful.

Very Nice People! Very helpful and lovely village not luxurious but the jungle trek was very cool. Best without kids probably

The Bungalows are very simple, but an authentic experience. It can be very very hot and humid.

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.

Stayed in August 2023

Staff did not inform us there was no water, no electricity for a while. Later we found out it was because of severe Rain that washed some pipes away. If we had known we could be more sympathic about it. Food took a very long time like hours... later we found out that shopping needed to be done.

Lovely view and location

Stayed in August 2023

Basic house. There were no sheets, only blankets which didn’t feel clean.

The location is very close to the river and the elephant sanctuary. Nice excursion with tubing and hiking around the river.

Stayed in July 2023

There was no hot water and also no sink at all. We had to brush our teeth over the toilet. The water from the shower was constantly running so the floor was a bit wet all the time.

Staff was very nice and we did a jungle trekking for one day to see the elephants. The owner which also is the guide, knows a lot about the nature which he shared with us.

Everything

Stayed in April 2023

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and guides, everything arranged for me including transfers to/from Medan, a day trip to Bukit Lawang and a few days trekking in the stunning pristine jungle in Tangkahan. I made use of the laundry service, food was excellent and a lovely lunch was prepared for each trek. The area is incredible and I had so much fun exploring and searching for wildlife, green forest was an excellent place to come back to and relax in after a tough day. I will be back.

Stayed in January 2023

The rooms are a little basic and there is no wifi so be prepared. But the staff can help with meals, transport, trekking and anything else you need so no issues if you want to disconnect for a few days.

Very helpful and friendly staff in a quiet location, with great meals from their kitchen. Staff can help you with anything you need during your stay.

nothing, the road to get there is a tough drive, heavily potholed, if the local authorities could fix it up, it would be better for everyone, more people would come

the property is located above the river with views of the river snd the surrounding hills and rainforest
