We had the best time with the Wau family! Such amazing people and great hospitality - always had great chats with Frank and Titus. The location is as good as it gets with a view of the spot and a minute walk from the keyhole. Our room had everything we needed. We would come back for sure!

Guests can dine in the restaurant or a drink at the bar and free WiFi is available. Hands down one of the best hostel experiences we've had in Indonesia. We originally booked 4 nights and stayed for two weeks, and even then found it hard to leave!! Not only is Nias and Salty Dog a slice of paradise but Arif and his beautiful family are truly amazing people; so fun, welcoming, kind and helpful. We instantly felt like family. Arif goes above and beyond for his guests, speaking fantastic English it was a pleasure to hang out each day, he even took us to the local waterfalls and Bawomataluo village where he explained in depth about the local culture and traditions. Both days were such a highlight for us! The family room was spacious, comfortable, had AC, a private bathroom (cold showers but they were welcomed with the heat!) and a fantastic view of the bay. The bed was huge! The kitchen is fully equipped, WiFi is the best we've experienced (especially as remote workers) and just the vibe, volunteers, dogs and puppies were a dream. The bay is great for a swim, perfect for children as it's nice and calm, and we had such respect for Arif who works so hard to keep it clean and plastic free! Everyday we were greeted with a delicious local breakfast, Arif arranged scooter rental, offered ideas and tips of what to do and was always available to answer or help us in any way. His gorgeous daughter and nieces loved being with our 4 year old, always playing and involving her. Genuinely a slice of heaven. We will absolutely be back and look forward to this being our dream Indonesian hideout for many years to come. Thank you Arif and family for an unforgettable stay.

Great place to meet backpackers. Cheap private room is clean + towel + fan. Nice pool table and snack/drinks. Johny and the staff are friendly & helpfull. They drove me to indomaret (15min) and brought me to busstation (10min walk). John is a nice guy and a great tourguide. Jungletour is awesome. Hope to see you all again.
The location is an hidden green paradise. We enjoyed so much our stay at the end of our 4 weeks holiday in Java and Sumatra. Very warm welcome by staff and clear instructions given upon arrival. The pool is an absolute bonus! The breakfast was top! Enough variety. If you don’t want to eat in restaurant omlandia you still find enough places on the street. Prices are off course cheaper there when you travel in budget.,Although the restaurant is recommended by us.
Lovely family running the hostel. Very budget friendly with simple but tasty breakfast. Good location.
By far one of my best hostel experience of 2023-2024. Very affordable. The place is super nicely located, very clean and you got a very nice view on the whole of Berastagi. The owner, Kaesa, is really friendly and helpful. He even helped me find a cheap driver to get to Toba next! A good breakfast is included. I recommand +++.
Clean, cheap, quiet, cozy, great location.
Bua Guesthouse is a hidden gem just outside the main city of Medan. It is easy to get to and feels much safer in this area than Medan. The owner is wonderful - happy to help in any way she can. She will take you to the airport if you need and is happy to lend her scooter so you can run errands. Breakfast was fried rice and very filling. She also offers dinner for a cheap price.
Good price-quality. Podstyle bunkbeds. Clean enough. Breakfast super simple, toast with chocolate sprinkles but that's alright. Close to the airport. 50k for the shuttle. Definitely recommend for a cheap stay close to the airport, for a night before or after your flight.
Really nice accommodation in Bukit Lawang. Great location and common area. Very good food at restaurant. There is also possiblity to organise jungle trek from the hostel.
Bukit Lawang us a wonderful town and not as touristic as other places in Indonesia. The communication with the people from rain forest guest house was easy and fast and they helped us to organize a bus to Medan, a hostel there and they also organize jungle Trekkings. the staff was really nice, the food was great and the atmosphere was very familiar. Perfect location for backpackers!
