Sumatra Cheeky Monkeys

We just wanted to stay 4 days and stayed more than a week. The kids loved that place and the whole fantastic and funny Team. They made my kids feel happy with singing and instrumental Musical and marshmallows in the evening. They cared about us all the time and took some time to food and play around. Also Sarah the owner is great help and very sympathetic woman. An the heart an soul of the place Elli made you feel happy with her smile in the morning. They also offer guided tours to the jungle. A great family.

We loved our stay in Cheeky Monkeys. The staff were all incredibly kind and accommodating, they couldn’t do enough for us. Ellie’s cooking is outstanding and the 4 meals we ate there were delicious, the curry and the ikan pepes were particularly good. The accommodation is as much as you need, clean and fairly spacious. No hot water but this is standard for the guest houses in the area. They made the admin part of our stay very easy, organising shared tourist taxis for us from the airport and to Berestagi which were safe and efficient. Coco was a brilliant guide for our 1 day Orangutan trip which included lunch, about 4kg of fruit and tubing back into town. I’d gladly recommend them for a trekking trip to Bukit Lawang

Sarah was super helpful prior to as well as during my stay to organize transportation, jungle trekking, and other acitivities in the area. The garden is a lovely place to unwind, so peaceful and lush. All the food was absolutely delicious. Location somewhat out of the Bukit Lawang village, but on a comfortable walking distance. Highly recommend!

Cheeky monkeys is a very comfortable place to stay and the gardens are really nice to relax in. The staff are all really nice and go out of their way to make sure you are ok. My room was very comfortable, mosquito net supplied, private shower and toilet, although the shower was only cold it refreshed you. The mattress was just so soft I felt like I just nestled into it. I slept so well. There is a breakfast and dinner menu available and the food is really nice. I stayed for 3 nights and did a 1 day jungle trek and one day mountain biking, on both occasions my guide was Wong, he is so nice. Always checking everything is good and making sure you are enjoying the experience.

I visited cheeky monkeys with two of my friends for the 3 day jungle trek! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They made us feel at home as soon as we arrived and throughout the entire stay there, we were treated like family. Bai and Ade were our trekking guides and they were so helpful the entire journey. They educated us about the history of the jungle in the area, answered any questions we had, and helped us in anyway they could during the trekking. They made it easy and fun for us all! We ended up seeing around 6 orangutans and many other animals along the way. Also, the food at cheeky monkey and along the trek was phenomenal! Special thanks to Magic Man for being the chef along the trek too! After the trekking, we spent a couple nights there to wind down and ended up doing the bat cave with Ade and had a bbq along the river. I can’t say enough about this place, they were the best in every aspect! If you’re looking for an authentic jungle trekking experience then sumatra cheeky monkeys is your place!

Thank you very much Sarah and Agus for organising a wonderful 5 day trek through the Jungle. Big shout out to Baik, Boy, Ade and Agus who were the crew on our trek and who put in an excellent performance. Friendly, knowledgable, committed and clearly enjoying the jungle themselves, they were wonderful company. We strongly recommend the longer treks since it allows you to get away from the somewhat busier part of the jungle around Bukit Lawang - you’ll then basically have the jungle to yourself (and the numerous animals, of course). The organisation of the trip and the booking process was handled very efficiently and professionally by Sarah who - together with her husband - was a wonderful host during the days we spent at Cheekys before and after the trek.
