Positive: This is a great place, located in a very quiet area right next to the jungle. The river is just a few meters from the cabin. You can only get there on foot or by scooter, but the owner can organize transportation. They also organize jungle treks and provide delicious food. The staff is incredibly friendly. A special thanks to Wanta, Jajang, Bagus (and all his wives 😉), Habib, and all the other guys working there. See you next time!

Positive: Bayu and his team are great! Everyone of us, my wife, me and the two kids, had the feeling of beeing part of the family! Especially tracking overnight with them was a lifetime experience. The way how they treat with the kids was so caring. Thank you so much! The luxury of this retreat is the seclusion. You are welcomed by motorbikes, to bring you the last 10mins to the guest house. No worries about the luggage or anything else, everything will be made possible. Highly recommend this place for a more quiet, but really adorable adventure. Once again thank you all!
Negative: Apparently no luxury retreat
Summary: Not only my 9yo and 11yo were enthusiastic about it

Positive: The location of this place is absolutely stunning. You are deep in nature, far away from noise, pollution, people. Absolutely loved it. The staff is also super friendly, speaks good English and happy to sing and entertain you in the evenings and organize tours for you. The drive there (on my motorbike) was an adventure by itself (and should only be attempted by confident drivers with maps.me installed on their phone (Google Maps was useless as it didnt know the trails).
Negative: I stayed in two different rooms. In the first room (upstairs with balcony) the bed was damaged so the mattress was hanging through on one side. Guess the staff just didnt know. The second room (bottom left) was much worse though. The mattress was very worn out and you would roll into the middle (the worn out part). Not really a big pleasure. Also no bedside table or lights. Very poor (or no) WIFI connection in the rooms. This would be an easy fix.. I had food poisoning on the last night and I only had two meals that day of which one was many hours before so I can say with good confidence that this one meal made my stomach sick. I know it's not the staff's fault, the food was absolutely delicious. But still, cant give a perfect rating for this.
Summary: Amazing location, hidden deep in the jungle. Fantastic staff. Has some caveats though...

Positive: Batu Kapal Guest House is not just a guest house – it's a family. We stayed with them (not just at their place) for only five days, but it was one of the most intense and rewarding experiences of our lives. Yes, you need to adapt. Yes, there’s no TV or hot water. Yes, the city is far away and the motorbike ride isn’t the most comfortable. But no one chooses the jungle for comfort. We rediscovered a raw, precious, and unique humanity. We were treated not as guests, but as an integral part of a community. They taught us and showed us what it means to live in and with the jungle, generously sharing their knowledge and experiences. Of course, it's not for everyone – especially not for those unwilling to strip away the superfluous and rediscover the essence of life. Leaving was hard, and the ride "back to civilization" was filled with silence. We immediately felt a hole in our stomachs and found ourselves looking at each other saying, "We already miss it so much." Batu Kapal Guest House is not just a guest house – it’s a project. Or rather, a network of projects. The young people who built it poured all their money and energy into helping the youth of their community – giving them jobs, a home, and a deep understanding of how to protect the nature that surrounds them. They are ambitious and talented, and no number of thank-yous could ever fully express the gratitude we feel for everything they’ve given us. That’s what Bukit does – it changes your life in just five days. We’ll be back soon. Thank you, guys.
