The Rindu Alam Hotel location is the village of Bukit Lawang, in the Bahorok district of Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. We have not yet published an official Google Maps pin on our website, so the surest way to arrive is to ask our reservations team for the location pin on WhatsApp — available 24 hours — before you set off.

This page is part of our Rindu Alam Hotel Bukit Lawang profile and covers only the end of your journey: the address, the map pin and what to look for when you arrive.

What is the full address of Rindu Alam Hotel?

The address in the hotel’s official data is Rindu Alam Hotel, Bukit Lawang, Bahorok, Langkat, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It does not include a street name or number, so it will get you to Bukit Lawang village but not to the hotel entrance. That last part is what the location pin from us is for.

Why is there no Google Maps pin yet?

We only want to publish a pin we have verified ourselves, and the official one is not ready for the website yet. Until it is, do not pick just any search result in a map app: if you see more than one pin, a similar name or a pin with no photos of the hotel, ignore it and use the pin our reservations team sends you. We will update this page as soon as the official pin is available.

How do you get the location pin on WhatsApp?

  1. Tap the WhatsApp button on this page, ideally the day before you travel.
  2. Give the booking name, your check-in date, your vehicle and your estimated arrival time.
  3. Save the pin in your map app and forward it to your driver at the start of the trip — not when you are already close.
  4. Download the Bukit Lawang area for offline use or screenshot the route in case the signal drops.

A message you can copy:

Hello Rindu Alam Hotel, I have a booking under the name Rina, checking in this Saturday. Could you send me the hotel’s location pin? We are coming by car and expect to arrive around 16:00.

How do you find the hotel on the last stretch?

The long drive is rarely the confusing part; what makes guests hesitate is the last few minutes inside the village. Our suggested order:

  1. Follow the pin we send, not a search for the hotel name.
  2. Message us as you enter Bukit Lawang. Our reservations team can talk you through the final turns if you are unsure.
  3. Look for the hotel’s landmark: a large car park shaded by trees, with a pavilion near the entrance (see the photo below). If what you see is different, stop somewhere safe and message us before carrying on.
  4. Park on site and check in.

We deliberately do not give distances or walking times from the hotel to other places in the village, because we have not measured them. If you need to know, ask our reservations team directly.

How long is the trip from Medan or Kualanamu Airport?

In short: Bukit Lawang is about 86 km from Medan according to Wikipedia, and the road trip usually takes a few hours depending on your vehicle and traffic; from Kualanamu, add the transfer towards Medan. Transport options, the route and typical journey times are covered in full in our guide to getting from Medan to Bukit Lawang.

What if you arrive at night or in the rain?

Arriving after dark or in the rain is fine, as long as our team knows in advance.

  • Send your estimated arrival time in the morning, and update us if you are delayed. Reservations WhatsApp is open 24 hours.
  • Do not race the clock on wet roads. Arriving late with a message is better than rushing the drive.
  • Keep the pin saved offline, make sure your phone is charged, and have a small torch ready.
  • If it is raining, park on site and unload near the entrance pavilion.
  • If you want to eat when you arrive, ask first whether the hotel restaurant will still be serving — we have not published its opening hours yet.
  • If you arrive before 14:00, let us know. An early room depends on availability that day.

What should you give your driver?

If you are using a driver or rental car, pass on three things: the hotel name (Rindu Alam Hotel, Bukit Lawang), the pin we sent and the landmark of the car park with a pavilion at the entrance. If your driver has not been to Bukit Lawang before, ask them to message our reservations team on the same WhatsApp as they approach the village — usually quicker than relaying directions through a passenger. For groups travelling by bus or in several vehicles, tell us the type and number of vehicles when you book.

Know which room you want?

Make sure your room is confirmed before you travel. Compare capacity and official rates in Rindu Alam Hotel room types compared, check your dates on our rooms page, then ask for the location pin with the WhatsApp button.
