Stayed 2 nights at Mega, its basic but come on you are in the jungle! The food is good and the staff amazing. Mega organises your trips well and our guide Farhan was brilliant. We enjoyed it all from the elephants to the tubing down river to a waterfall, while we swam in the river under the fall, Farhan arranged... More

We stayed here in August 2012. It was a great experience. Basic accomodation, but 5* experience! The food was great, the music at night was great. Elephants, riverrafting, we've had a great time. Only the road to get there wasn't that great, but that's what you'll get in the jungle!

We were in Tangkahan in March and had a great time. The accommodations at Mega Inn are clean and comfortable. The amenities are basic--bucket shower and no flush toilet-- but you're out in the jungle! We had a room that had a porch overlooking the river and the view was beautiful. Mega, Sammi (and the rest of the staff) and... More

Mega and his brother, sister and the rest of the staff does everything possible to ensure that their guest are having a wonderfull time. We... More

Mega Inn is in 1 word GREAT. Although the facilities are poor, but that's not what you come for, staff is great. Mega Inn is a 1 star hotel, but staff is 5 star compliant. Great atmosphere in the bar in the evening and great and cheap food. Our children had the best memory of this location during our 3... More

We really liked this hotel because it is in the middle of the jungle, the electricity goes out at night so make sure you have plenty of flashlight and batteries. You can really relax on the porches and listen to the sound of the jungle. The rooms are basic but you don't need more in the jungle. Most of the... More

Tangkahan is difficult to get to, but one is rewarded when you arrive. Mega organised everything for us, in fact he organised our whole week in Sumatra covering Bukit Lawang & Berastagi too.....and it all worked seamlessly. At Mega Inn we had a charming (simple) stand-alone room with a balcony overlooking the river and with dozens of monkeys around. They... More

In terms of the amenities you couldn't get any more basic, but Mega has pretty well built the place himself and is aiming for an eco-friendly, low-impact facility. You certainly feel surrounded by jungle. Our hut had a verandah that overlooked the river. There was brand new rattan furniture, and a relaxing hammock. The bed had a good mosquito net.... More

stayed at the mega inn for 5 nights. the journey to get there from medan is quite long and bumpy, a 4 hour local bus trip will drop you at the bridge which is broken so the next option is a motorbike ride along a long bumpy road which takes about 30 mins. you could however hire a private car/4...
