The lodge was simply lovely and much nicer than we expected. Joseph is a delightful, kind, and genuine person who made us feel very welcome and cared for. He catered for our dietary restrictions, provided everything we needed, and served great food! Joseph was also very insightful by advising us our trip back to Medan was on a national holiday (April 10) and that traffic could be very heavy so we should leave earlier than planned. We listened to him and got to the airport in plenty of time. Our trekking and camping guide, Harris, was exceptional, and our trip was amazing due in large part to his guidance and knowledge. Highly recommend!

One Thousand Hills accommodated us by offering vegetarian meals, and willingly prepared meals at various times in the day to accommodate our schedule. The staff were so kind and helpful. We really enjoyed the location near the trek and the peacefulness of the property. I highly recommend the simplicity of the environment and proximity to nature.

The trip was great value as we were picked up from Medan in a private car and taken six hours to Ketambe. The guest house was nice and comfortable and I loved the outside bathroom. The two days trekking was good and the guide showed us lots of different things and explained everything. The camping out was fine and they gave us sleeping bags and floor mattresses. The area we slept was next to the river so no bugs. The food throughout was really good. On the second day we saw a massive orangutan about five meters away and then later that day another two. It was an amazing experience to see these wild animals and one that may not be around for much longer so I felt very privileged Worth all the hiking, long drive, camping out !!! Definitely recommend
