Jhony's Backpacker

+ Jhony is an absolute sweetheart, very welcoming and he helps you with everything. My trip was super chilled because of him.

+ Nous avons aimé notre séjour chez jhony qui a été un hôte et un guide formidable,nous recommandons cette adresse

- Rien

+ Jhony the owner is incredible! Super friendly and goes above and beyond for his guests, he accommodated us when we weren’t able to travel to our next location, and rearranged our travel for no extra cost. We did the 2 day jungle trek with him and he was the best, super passionate about all the right things! His staff (that join you on the trek) are also fab, and the banana pancakes are yummy!

- Nothing - brilliant host

+ Fue una experiencia genial estar con Jhony, aprendí muchísimo de la situación en Indonesia. Hice con él también el tour de la selva en Bukit Lawang. El alojamiento era súper cute y en mitad del pueblo precioso.

+ Jhony shared information on 2 days jungle trekking. Once in his home stay, he also told me where to eat delicious local food in Bukit Lawang. Next day he and his guide took me to an tour to see orangutans and funky monkeys, it was amazing to see the orangutans move around with great ease in the jungle like walking in our backyard:) Jhony was really knowledgeable of the jungle and ecology and cared deeply about nature protection and preservation, great trip and learning thanks to him.

+ Ägaren trevlig och hjälpsam. man får vad man betalar för. Rummet nästan gratis. Bokade en två dagar treking med han. Såg orangetanger dag ett. Trevligt me frukt paus och lunch i ljungeln. Eftermiddagen flerrättes middag i campen. Sov på madrasser

- Det var mycket klättring . Hade nog räckt med en dag för mig. Dag två var det klättring först upp i hela berget och sedan ner. Livsfarligt för mig. Smala steniga leriga rullgrus. Detta är nod det mest utmanande jag gjort i hela mitt liv. Är ingen ungdom 66år. Den ena guiden hade jag föe mig själv. Han var tvungen att hjälpa mig en hel del.

+ Jhony je skvělý, byli jsme s ním i na jungletreku. Což byl nezapomenutelný zážitek. Vše nám vysvětlil a ukázal. K našemu milému překvapení, vždy vybíral trasy, kde nebyla skoro žádná jiná skupina lidí. Takže jsme měli možnost, mít dvojici orangutanů jen pro sebe. ☺️🌞

+ Jhony is always there, answering your questions (whatsapp) and at his place. He came to pick me up when I arrived in Bukit Lawan (motorbike) and rode me back to the bus to the next village at 6.00 am when I left! 🙏🙏🙏 I just fel in love with Bukit Lawang and its people 💖 The room and bathroom are very simple, so if you need a minimum of confort, that probably won't be the place for you. I was on a 2 days trekking in the jungle with Jhony's team, and I couldn't have had a better guide: Yusup. Always trying to help you and make you feel good. He is really amazing! And he is very funny too. He really tried very hard to find the orang-outans in the jungle for me, and succeded :-) If you are a vegetarian or even a fruitarian (like me), Jhony's team will provide the best food for you. So, I'm very grateful and hope I'll be able to come back one day with my (grown up) chidren.

+ Jhony hat für einen sehr günstigen Flughafentransfer für 400.000 IDR gesorgt und die Unterkunft ist riesig für den Preis von 10€, den ich für 5 Nächte gezahlt habe. Es sind keine französischen Doppelbetten, aber bequeme Matratzen für vier Personen. Außerdem ist in Bukit Lawang alles fußläufig erreichbar, weshalb auch seine Lage am Rand kein Problem ist. Auch der empfohlene 3-Tage Trek war grandios und wird für immer unvergesslich bleiben. Jhony kommuniziert schnell und zuverlässig über WhatsApp und ist das beste für den Preis, was man in Bukit Lawang finden kann.

- Ein paar Ameisen verirren sich auch ins Zimmer, da man aber die meisten Tage sowieso im Jungle verbringt ist das für 10€ für 5 Nächte akzeptabel.

+ Very peaceful and cost effective and also the lovely host

+ The rooms were super nice, same as the people who work there! Very clean!! We also booked the tour, the day we arrived there and it was great. Our tour guide Yusup and also his assistant Dani were super funny and did a great job, we had a great experience in the jungle! Also the food at the tour was great, didn’t expect that.

- End of my previous review that got cut. All in all, Jhony seemed a bit confused and was repeating the same sentences and pieces of information multiple times. Before departing, Jhony told us we could have the same breakfast as the day before, so we naturally assumed it was included like the day before. He told us only after we finished eating the next day that we had to pay for it. In the end, when I agreed to pay, but calmly tried to explain that we were expecting him to tell us the price beforehand, he got mad, interrupted and silenced me, not wanting to hear anything. Also, right before leaving, I asked how many people would be in the car with us. He screamed at me that he only knows it's min 2 and max 7 people and that I can complain about the amount of people elsewhere. I was startled by his tone and uncomfortable with the outburst and left with a very bad feeling.
