"If visiting Tangkahan, the visitor should be aware that this is still a region in in it infancy of development; years behind the more developed Bukit Lawang. There is one luxury hotel being built, but besides that, temper, your expectations and the biggest choice is how much do you care about having air-conditioning versus not having it? Most places, this one included do not have air-conditioning just a fan. With that in mind, the staff here were very friendly, there was a large open restaurant,...

"Very nice, good helpful people working here, service was great. Hotel not really suited or international travelers such as myself. If you are a local traveler in Indonesia and need a night or two near the airport this may be a good choice for you. It is close to the airport, and rooms are very affordable. The breakfast was tasty. Area was a bit noisy, but there was a detour in front of the hotel because of ongoing construction with the nearby roads. "

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at Mountain View Cottages & Villa Tangkahan was truly memorable. It is the perfect place to disconnect from electronics, slow down, enjoy nature, and appreciate the simple things in life. Our experience started with Uncle Ramlan, who picked us up from the airport. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always made sure we were comfortable and safely got wherever we needed to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the nightly rate for a guest house in Sumatra?

Rates for Sumatra guest houses vary, but travelers can find great-value prices from $4 with Expedia. A range of factors can affect nightly rates, such as the location, the breakfast offering, and the range of amenities. Travelers looking for a good deal should consider looking for a midweek stay, as weekend rates at Sumatra guest houses tend to be higher. Remember to also use our filters to sort prices from low to high.

What's the difference between a Sumatra guest house and a B&B?

A guest house in Sumatra is typically a larger establishment with more rooms, offering a more hotel-like experience, and may provide additional amenities including luxury bedding. In contrast, a B&B is usually a smaller property that focuses primarily on providing a room and breakfast. A B&B is often more personal, and breakfast is typically included as part of the stay, but other services might be more limited compared to a guest house.
