I checked into Sam's for only 7 days, but stayed for over 3 weeks! I found Sam's to be so friendly and welcoming I couldn't bear to leave! The rooms are very comfortable with amazing views and relaxing balconies looking out over the river and into the Jungle. I could enjoy watching the Jungle without even leaving my bed! The... More

We stayed here for two nights and had a fantastic time. We were picked up at Medan Airport (450,000 IDR) and the driver got us to Bukit Lawang. One of Sam's guides greeted us in the village and we walked ten minutes along the river to the huts. We stayed in the Bamboo Hut -- a simple accommodation, but Bukit... More

We stayed one night at Sams and loved it. The rooms are very basic but are clean and have wonderful balcony's with hammocks overlooking the jungle and river! The restaurant at Sams is also very nice! The location is right on the water and the food is really good! But make sure your not in a rush when you order... More

We did not stay here, but ate dinner here twice. Very good food. We had pizza one night … they told us up front that they make everything fresh, and that it would be about an hour to prepare.

There is a reason Bukit Lawang is a prime backpackers detination, it is not suitcase friendly. Bukit Lawang is built up along the river and is serviced by a path, but not a road, which means you need to carry your gear up to your accommodation, so take a backpack. The walk is worth it and isn't that far, but... More

What a beautiful place!! Awesome location, right at the top of the hill near the entrance to the national park! Friendly staff, clean room with amazing view. Really nice food and the restaurant is great to hang out in a watch the people floating down the river and spot the cheeky monkeys. We stayed in the cheaper room for one... More
