At Jungle treking & Jungle Tour if you want to stay here, you must book treking only with us the rooms are equipped with a TV, a shared bathroom, and a terrace with a city view. The owner is super friendly and helpful. He is available on Whatsapp and is very responsive. He picked me up from the bus station and also drove me there when I was leaving Bukit Lawang. He gave lots of good, accurate and useful information regarding transportation and prices and restaurant recommendations. The room was clean. It wasn't pristine and perfect but it was nice and I was very comfortable. Remember, this is in the jungle basically, so there will be some insects from time to time and even a few geckos, but they are really cute! They have mosquito nets, so you feel safe from the creepy crawlies. But there weren't many of them anyway. And finally, do the tour with them! The prices are not extraordinarily cheap, but they are in line with everywhere else. I asked around, and they were all the same price, so honestly, I would be careful if you found a tour that is "too cheap." The guide, Putra, spoke English well, and he helped us find 4 organgutans and other animals in the off-season. The food was plentiful and delicious (thank you, Bruno, the cook).

No complaints for the price, cheapest spot on the whole island. You get what you pay for. If you're travelling on a budget and don't have high expectations, this place is a great option. The cafe next door was closed during my whole stay, but that might be due to the time of the year. Plenty of places with food and drinks within walking distance though, plus Sumur Tiga beach.
