If you want a real genuine and experience of the jungle, and meet locals to learn about the real culture of Bukit Lawang this is a great place to stay. The team at Batu Kapal is big and they all work together to make your stay a very special experience. They have certified, professional and experienced guides for jungle treks that are very environmentally responsible. It is located out of the tourist area so you need to be comfortable getting on the back of a motorbike on a dirt track to get there( awesome fun) you can also walk this track once you know the way which is a great activity in itself. There is a river that is a beautiful swimming spot and a great place to do your laundry, great food options at the guesthouse and great entertainment, So much to explore around the area you can easily fill a 7 days here! The team are great but it is difficult to understand who manages the place and the bookings , they could definitely improve the booking and payment process by clearly outlining who to pay for what and having it recorded in writing somewhere so it can be checked by everyone, We had some trouble with our arrival and they did not arrange our transfer as planned we found it difficult to get in touch with them and had to make our way there with no wifi or idea of where we had to go, so make sure you establish a clear line of contact before your arrival so if you have a problem finding them they can help you. Luckily we could rely on locals to help us when we arrived late after a 3 hr taxi journey in Bukit Lawang. Despite the lack of process's, this is often the Indonesian way so we understand the need to be flexible. You will not be disappointed if you love adventure! This place is amazing. We would 100% stay at Batu Kapal guesthouse again and hope to get back to spend more time with the great guides and staff again soon!

The Nature around this place is fantastic. The river is great to take a dip in, and the are chances of seeing Orang Utans and a lot of monkeys and birds and the forrest sorounding this place. You can only go there on the back of a motorbike, so travel light. The bar/Restaurant is fantastic, great people and great food. Suggestions for the management: Make sure that the rooms are clean at check-in, ours wasn’t really! 😕 The bathroom is made by a lot of stones/rocks, the idea is good, but everything in the room gets dirty from it, you drag dirt in from the bathroom. Also a lot of spiders, mosquitoes and geckoes live between the rocks. Buy new mosquito-nets, they smell and have holes in them.

My partner and I loved Batu Kapal guest house, people that own the place are so lovely. They drove us around to the village and back so the distance is no problem. They did a lot of extra things for us what we appreciate a lot 🙏 bird watching, cooking local meals, magic colour chancing tea ☕️. We booked a 6 days jungle track with them too! That was super awesome. They bring you really deep in the jungle where we saw a lot of wild animals! Not the semi wild animals like most tours offer you! Eddie the local guide we had booked though Batu Kapal is the best guide in town, even in his time off you can find him in the jungle. Everyone is so friendly and I surly recommend this place!

We had an amazing experience here in Batu Kapal with Aji, Bayu and their crew! Surrounded by the lush green jungle, absolutely full of life and the awesome Landak River for a swim! We had the astonishing luck of seeing a wild female orangutan and her baby on the ficus tree just up our room 2 days in a row! And then they arranged us with a 3 days/2 nights trek in Gunung Leser National Park jungle and it was amazing. We saw 3 semi wild females with their babies and a wild male, super close to us (5m away)! Our guide explained everything to us about wildlife but also about plants and culture. The food was super nice and the bound fire and rafting on the final day were awesome! Truly recommend, and we will be back for sure, as we felt like family here, in the Batu Kapal tribe. Life-long lasting memories guarantees!

Amazing guest house and amazing staff. The rooms are simple, but big and well taken care of. The staff is really the best you can have and help you out whenever you need ANYTHING! From airport pickup, bringing you out of and into town, showing you around and even finding rare fruits, that you have always been looking for. They are really great at showing you around and contrary to a lot of the other places, they really care about the cause of preservation, conservation and living with nature and not just about money! We had the greatest jungle tour and saw Thomas Leaf Monkeys, Macaques, Urang Gutans (really close), Black Gibbons, White handed Gibbons, Tortoise, ... . It was such an amazing adventure and this is also due to the way they do the trekking and their highly trained scouts.

I stayed with my 6 year old son in Batu Kapal. All I can say is that it is definately a place where you should go. It is not just the stunning surrounding by the jungle and its noise. You really feel very welcomed and familiar within the first moment. The owners Bayu and Aji and their stuff do run this place by heart which is very special. Especially it is a nice place for kids because all of them really take care and like children. The room is clean, food is very good. We saw an Orangutan Mum with her baby hanging in the tree on the first day next to the restaurant. We also did a Trekkingtour to Gunung Leuser NP which they arranged for us. Everyone is very helpful and kind. You can do also Birdwatching with them. We went to the river nextby a couple of times for swimming which was very nice. The fish BBQ was also great pleasure. We had really great days and enjoyed the time staying there so much. I would go there again. Thank you to all of you!

Si vous cherchez un endroit où vous sentir comme à la maison, Batu Kapal est votre endroit ! Certes, la guesthouse est un peu décentrée du village, n’est équipée d’électricité qu’entre 18h30 et 23h, mais la vue imprenable sur la jungle et la rivière en vaut vraiment la peine .. Mais ce n’est rien comparé à la gentillesse et l’amour que Bayu et son équipe offrent à leur invités ! Je voyage solo depuis 2 mois, et c’est ma plus belle rencontre jusqu’à présent… Cette petite famille m’a donné le sentiment d’en avoir une nouvelle 🥰 Ils m’ont fait découvrir tant de choses : Trekking dans le parc national afin d’observer les orangs outans et oiseaux sauvages, camping au bord de la rivière, tour du village, dégustations de poissons frais venant tout droit de son élevage, création de collier en bamboo, nombreuses soirées à chanter autour de la guitar .. Et j’en oublie certainement ! Ils savent comme je suis reconnaissante, j’espère très vite les revoir ! Bayu, Hadji, Iwen, Diki, Berry, Naca … and all of you .. THANK YOU ! I’ll miss you guys ♥️

我们刚在这家宾馆住了六晚，强烈推荐！地理位置优越，就在丛林深处，食物美味可口，工作人员的赞誉更是数不胜数。他们热情友好，知识渊博，竭尽全力确保您在宾馆和任何行程都能拥有美好的体验。他们都是持证导游，而且他们的导游服务合乎道德规范，这一点非常重要。我们在徒步途中看到了四只猩猩和其他当地野生动物，甚至在宾馆里还看到了几只猩猩！您可以住在拉旺山（Bukit Lawang），但我保证住在这里会是一次更加美丽、更加真实（更不用说更加宁静）的体验。
非常感谢 Bayu、Berry 和 Adji 的陪伴，让我们在这个天堂度过了一段美妙而难忘的时光。团队非常友好、乐于助人，他们愿意尽一切努力让顾客满意。我们与他们度过了难忘的时光：徒步观察猩猩、参观当地学校、游览村庄和当地市场、在河里游泳和钓鱼、上烹饪课，但最重要的是晚上围着吉他唱歌。这里环境优美，位于丛林中心，我们多次在小屋里观察到猩猩。我百分之百推荐！
位于丛林中的很棒的住宿。这家美丽的住宿位于果树丛中，拥有优秀的员工。这里的人们像对待家人一样对待您，一切都组织得井井有条。我们还在这里进行了为期3天的丛林之旅。导游也来自住宿地，他们对动物、树木和植物了如指掌。我们真的度过了一段美好的时光，我们一定会怀念它。
