Berastagi Hotels - Reviews and Rates

We had a few days in Medan chilling at Tom and Charlie's,admiring their new house - a steal at about 750pounds rent a YEAR - and discovering an awesome local Mee Ayam place.

We had a very drunken night out in a pool bar after downing the spirits Toma and Charlie brought back from a recent trip to china. Bleurgh, like paint stripper. We ...

After 4 lazy days on Danau Toba it was time for a spot of volcano hiking in Berastagi.

It was in Berastagi that we realised we'd passed a very significant milestone – we were more than half way through our journey. Where has the time gone? A year sounds like such a long time and it is worrying that 6 months have already passed in w...

Hello again.

Spent the last couple of days in Bukit Lawang in Sumatra. It is a small place that is right along side the jungle. It is also the place on the Island where Orangutans can be found. After we got there and checked in, we looked in to going on a Jungle trek to get close up to the Orangutans.

The next day we went on the ...

Pobudka 8:00. Pogoda dobra, swieci slonce. Jest jeszcze mokro po nocnej zlewie ale powinno przeschnac. Temperatura wreszcie europejska, ok 20 stopni. Szybkie przepakowanie na trek i czas na sniadanie. Wulkan Sibayak jest wygasly, w kalderze mozna sie wykapac w goracych wodach. W hotelu serwuja tosty z jajkiem, nawet smaczne. Zjawiamy sie w lobby...

Wstalem o 7:00. Kucharz juz rozpalil palenisko i gotowal wode. Poczestowal mnie kawa. Dzisiejszy dzien bedzie luzniejszy. Konczy sie noclegiem w Berastagi.

Chwile po mnie wstaje Ali G i Baba. Makaki na pobliskich drzewach schodza sie juz na sniadanie. Baba na nie mowi chicken monkey. Sa na tyle sprytne i zwinne, ze chwila nieuwagi, odwroc...

Selamat Soree! Nach zwei leckeren Tagen in Georgetown, Malaysia hab ich mir mal den Luxus gegoennt und einen Flieger nach Medan, Sumatra, Indonesien genommen (10 Euro teurer, aber 6 Stunden schneller als mit dem Schiff). Dann direkt weiter nach Berastagi in die Karo Highlands. Mit jedem Meter, den der Klapperbus nach oben humpelte, wurde es kueh...

Spent the first afternoon in Beragstagi just walking around the main street, checking out the sights there. I like Beragstagi, its a pretty, quaint little place, where in the evening the main street fills up with food vendors selling all kinds of Indonesian foods. The townspeople are clearly on the same page as me as eating is obviously a high p...

Day 113 - Berastagi I imagined Berastagi to be more on the backpacker trail than it appears to be. We were the only tourists on the bus and a novelty to the other passengers. Many fingers were pointed in our direction accompanied either by nervous laughter or whispering into ears. Taking this in the right spirit with odd comments and plenty of s...

We're in Indonesia now, in northern Sumatra. We've decided to attempt our first ever volcano climb - Gungung Sibayak - a 2094 metre high smoking volcano. It would be a 7km hike to the top, up a steep and slippery path. We equipped ourselves with warm clothing, food and a torch, confident that we would be ok, but preparing ourselves for the worst...

My third day here and already I'm over-budget. Traveling alone is not as cheap as I thought it would be. I tend to get invited to things by local people and end up paying for it. Last night's party was very good. There was a large variety of food and the dancing was interesting. They demonstrated not only the local Karo dancing, but also Batak (...
