This place is clearly popular, lots of rooms for all budgets and one of the few places with AC. like all the hotels you can book your orangutan tour, airport rides, rental bikes etc here. They’ve got a restaurant with good food and WiFi was decent for the area (I wouldn’t try to working from here on video calls). Thomas was always around making sure you’re ok. We didn’t book our tours with him since we didn’t know all hotels offered this service but Bukit Lawang is an awesome little town, super unique in that it was connected by all these suspension bridges. We stayed in 2 different rooms and they were both spacious with large beds. We did the 1 day hike and it started right by the hotel which was great! Jungle taxi also ended within walking distance of hotel. Tip: if you turn left out of the hotel walk upriver, there’s a shallow spot you can wade into where the current isn’t strong.

We stayed for 2 nights before the jungle tour (also booked through Thomas’ Retreat) and 1 night after. From the beginning, Thomas and the rest of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. We got the basic room which was more than enough, the fan worked really well so no air con needed. We knew we were signing up for cold showers so no issues there. Food was amazing and well priced, very close to the centre of Bukit luwang touristy area and right on the river for lovely views.

Beautiful property. Nice reception/ restaurant area. Right on the river near a bridge. The room was very clean and nice for the price.

Thomas Retreat was the perfect place to start and end trekking tours into Gunung Leuser National Park. Thomas has 30 tremendous experience in trekking tourd and the guides on my 3 day trip were just azing. Everything from sleeping, food etc was 100% taken care of. Thomas Retrest is located in a calm area of thr village amd is easily accessible. Overall, loved my stay which exceeded my expectations!

Thomas and his team are just awesome! They organized a fantastic trek through the Jungle! Erwin our guide has a great knowledge and respect for wildlife. Plus a fantastic humor! We felt safe all the time, though there were adventures every day! Stay for a 3 day, 2 nights trip with them in the jungle.

The staff at Thomas retreat were really friendly and lovely, we felt really welcome and at home staying here. The beds were comfy and the location was excellent, right on the river in close proximity to the village. We went on a jungle trek with them and had an amazing day and thought it was really good value.

The staff were amazing and took such great care of us. We did the tour with Lillic and Arnold who were lovely and funny and made sure we had a great day. Food was nice too and reasonable price. Stayed in the budget room which felt very fancy compared to other budget rooms I've stayed in!

Everything was wonderful! The staff was super friendly and helpful, the deluxe rooms were pretty, with a mosquitonet, and you could sit outside on the balcony or terace and take in the beautiful views of the river. The food was absolutely delicious and feshly prepared. We were lucky to have made a three day jungle trekking with the most amazing and kind Ren - We highly recommend to take this chance if you can!:)
