The Experience
Hi, I'm Romi and I live with my family and my two dogs in Bukit Lawang. Our house is located on the edge of the jungle and far from the city. We have a large plot of land on the banks of the river. Over the last 10 years, I have been building my dream hostel, and I need your help to make this dream come true. My dream is to create a place of exchange close to nature, where you can fish or garden or relax in a friendly space far from the city.

My experience in Batu Ridi was really nice! Romi is a nice host and I enjoyed a lot my time there with locals and other international travelers. We had a great time working together, relaxing and also spending time into the jungle. Romi, his family and his staff are very friendly people. Thank you so much for everything! Terima kasih!!

I had an amazing time at Batu Ridi Jungle. It was a perfect opportunity to appreciate how local people live and how they are able to do great things with natural resources. Romi has a strong commitment to maintaining nature and improving the conditions of the community, and he makes you feel like part of his family.
