Hotel Orangutan

Great location with good views of the village and surrounding jungle. The staff are friendly and the food is good. Has a large balcony with a hammock.

Our rooms were very nice but a bit of an uphill walk. The staff was friendly and helpful.

We stayed for 6 nights at the Hotel Orangutan, including a three day jungle trek. We had the room right at the top of the hill which was beautiful with wonderful views across the river and village. Vyca and all of his staff could not have be nicer or more helpful. The guides Rio and Ari were lovely and all of the activities they arranged for us excellent.

Hotel Orangutan was just as perfect for our 3 days trek. We did the trek with our 12 years old daughter and it was very special. From arranging our airport transfers and providing lodging, which was amazing, the staff was very professional, friendly and informative, nice to visit with and very helpful. We had 2 guides for us. Our main guide Monang is very experienced and very into the animal welfare, the second one (sorry forgot his name) was young as he's the new generation. but so helpful. The cook made us just excellent lunch and diner. We had to chance to see 11 orangutans. Some semi wild and some wild, male and mama with baby :-) We also saw Thomas's leaf monkeys, Macaque, Lizard... This was a bucket list since a long time. We recommend 100% the whole crew and the hotel ! Don't hesitate to ask for Monang as guide ! Yasmina, Diego & Alexa

Hotel Orangutan is conveniently located in the middle of the village, close to the river, other guest houses, shops and bars/restaurants. The room was just OK. No AC, the fan spun so slowly that it didn't really circulate much air. I also suspect there may have been termites or something in the wooden bed frame, as there was fresh, fine sawdust on the floor (see pic). The bathroom was fun and unique - built straight up against the cliff face. The sink in particular was unique. The shower was cold water only. One good thing was the proprietor let me take a shower after a 2-day trek in the jungle, even though I wasn't staying there that night. It was nice not to gas the driver who later drove me back to Medan. It was fine staying there, but there are probably better places in town for the same amount of money.

Excellent place to stay with Nice view and room and very friendly staff. Did the 3 days trekking from Here. We saw a lot of monkeys apes and the food we got in the evening was so delicious. Also breakfast. When we came back at the hotel we stayed another night to get Some good sleep before our flight the next day. The staff helped also with arranging the airport transfer.
