The bungalows are lovely and secluded staring out into the jungle. The staff are AMAZING. I got sick during our jungle trek and had to get out through a fairly dodgy route and the staff all came together to help me get out. The hotel booked me a different hotel as the jungle guide was booked for the night I was on a trek and brought me tea and medication to help. The next day, they transferred me back to the hotel. All of the employees are absolutely lovely and make the stay well worth it!

We stayed there before and after a 4 day jungle trek during the low/wet season. The bungalow was located on the river, right at the edge of the jungle. There are frequently macaque and Thomas's leaf monkeys in the trees and jumping on the roof. You can leave non-food items on the patio (like clothes drying after the jungle), but the host advised us to keep the door locked when we aren't around to keep them from coming in. We specifically chose somewhere without AC to acclimatize to the temperature and humidity, but ventilation inside was good. Porters met us at our taxi to carry the luggage through the village and across the bridge, which was appreciated.

This place with its people is magical. I stayed there for a week and at the end I felt like I was leaving my new family behind. As a solo traveller, I never felt lonely during my stay there and I will never forget the interesting conversations, the jam sessions in the evenings, the excursions and above all the humour und kindness of the whole staff. I stayed in different rooms (because I kept extending my stay) and all were great, almost all with wonderful views of the lush jungle. Terima kasih!!❤️ and see you all hopefully very soon!

    The location and lake view are simply breathtaking. I didn’t realise how huge their land was before arriving there. We were greeted by Kaban at the reception, who was friendly and knowledgeable, and kindly gave us a tour of the gorgeous twin waterfall. The rooms are very comfortable and it is worth upgrading to get the lake view. We have really enjoyed our stay and I definitely recommend this resort.

    Their executive room is the best value in Medan and beyond. Breakfast is very rich, they have a business center too, not sure why the hotel is only 3-star, maybe due to it's relatively small size or the immediate surroundings (location is centric but outside street is a bit dusty and hectic). But the experience is 5 star, at least when staying in an executive room.

    Medan is an interesting city with a mix of different cultures - Batak, Javanse Achenese, Chinese. There are some excellent restaurants - in the old China Town. I recommend Cambridge Mall for Restaurants and Cinemas. I also recommend visiting Berastagi , 3 hours by car. A charming Hill station where they grow beautiful flowers and fruits.

    We just left and are already thinking about when we'll return. We've experienced a wonderful place: its people, its jungle, its culture. We've always been greeted with smiles, joy, and support from the entire town. The food is always great! And what can we say about the surroundings? We're nature lovers, so there couldn't be a better place. We'll definitely be back! We stayed in Eriono, an unbeatable location. We also stayed at the Garden Inn. But there are many good places and plenty of places to eat or drink. Getting around Bukit is very easy; you can walk everywhere, but if not, you can take a motorbike, tuk-tuk, or car; anything is possible. What we really liked was the four-day trek through the jungle, and being able to observe orangutans was magical.

    Tuk Tuk is mainly where beginner tourists stay, just like me. Tuk Tuk has many restaurants, cafes, hotels, resorts, homestays and guesthouses. Those are located along the main road at Tuk Tuk as well. If you do not want to spend on cafes and restaurants, no worries, there are convenient stores and shops along the main road. Very simple. But I would suggest people go to the restaurant and eat their local cuisines and seafood for the better. The only downside is the main road of Tuk Tuk is very troublesome and tough to walk and cycle as it is very steep going up and down. It is not a road that is stable. I would recommend people take a motorbike, scooter or car to travel along the main road.

    Cesspool!! Open sewers everywhere.

    Cesspool!! Open sewers everywhere. The whole town stinks of human and animal waste. Very dirty, trash everywhere. Hostile environment towards outsiders and tourists. Locals openly abuse animals all the time. Impossible to safely consume any food that is not pre-packaged from a Western brand. Consuming anything local or freshly made carries a high risk of infections, parasites, and diseases. No soap anywhere. Everyone tries to cheat you. Hike with Berastagi Adventures is an exception. They are good guides.

    The volcano hike was amazing and so beautiful, but there wasn’t much else to do after that. If in a straight couple or a mixed gender group it might be more pleasant to wander around and explore the the town, but as a solo woman or two women it was quite uncomfortable in terms of the amount of attention and harassment we received. If I went again I would just arrive in the afternoon, do the hike in the AM, and then head off again after that.

    We went to Medan solely so we could visit the Orangutans in the wild - we were totally successful in this enterprise. Only one day was required in visiting Mount Leuser National Park. Three tourist sites stood out for us - they could all be visited in one further full day: Tjong A Fie Mansion Maximum Palace Rahman International Wildlife Museum (quite expensive at Rp 300,000 each) We spent 6 nights in Medan - we could have done it all easily in 3 nights! Compared with other Far-East cities, Medan lags behind in tourism preparedness.
