Start your adventure in Bukit Lawang, where you can embark on a thrilling trek through the Gunung Leuser National Park, home to the critically endangered Sumatran orangutans. Guided tours are quite affordable, and the experience of seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is priceless. Next, explore Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world, where you can enjoy free activities like swimming in its crystal-clear waters or hiking the surrounding hills for breathtaking views. For a taste of local culture, visit the bustling markets in Medan, where sampling street food like Nasi Goreng (fried rice) and Soto Medan (traditional soup) costs just a few dollars and offers a delightful culinary experience. Don't miss the beautiful beaches in Padang, a perfect spot for sunbathing and relaxing, often free of charge. For accommodation, consider staying in the charming area of Bukit Lawang, where budget-friendly guesthouses offer comfortable lodging with attentive service and easy access to the park's trails. This combination of affordable activities and quality lodging ensures that your trip is both enjoyable and economical. ## How can I get cheap hotels in Sumatra? Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Sumatra 1. If you're looking to travel to **Sumatra on a budget**, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for **as low as $18.** Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $44\. Staying a short amount of time in Sumatra is an effective way to **reduce hotel costs.** 2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For **budget hotels in Sumatra,** 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip. 3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Sumatra, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked. 4. When you utilize **[search filters](https://expedia.com/Hotel-Search?regionId=6049206&sort=PRICE_RELEVANT&rfrr=Editorial.Tips)** on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a **cheap** hotel in Sumatra, including **[amenities such as Free Breakfast,](https://expedia.com/Hotel-Search?regionId=6049206&sort=RECOMMENDED&mealPlan=FREE_BREAKFAST&rfrr=%20Editorial.Tips) [2-star rating](https://expedia.com/Hotel-Search?regionId=6049206&sort=RECOMMENDED&star=20&rfrr=Editorial.Tips)**, or proximity to local attractions. You can even [**set filters for price limits**](https://expedia.com/Hotel-Search?regionId=6049206&sort=PRICE_LOW_TO_HIGH&rfrr=Editorial.Tips) to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget. ## Top Sumatra Hotel Reviews ![JW Marriott Hotel Medan](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2430000/2428400/2428310/w4000h2661x0y0-87ad47d6_y.jpg) ### JW Marriott Hotel Medan 10/10 Excellent "Premier hotel in Medan, with the premier shopping mall across the street."
