Satwa Elephant Eco Lodge

Review: It's located a couple hundred metres from the entrance to Way Kambas, and also offers guided tours to the national park, hence, makes a great base for your visit to Way Kambas.rnrnHowever, when I arrived at the lodge at around 11pm on the day that I was supposed to check-in (with a confirmed and PAID reservation from Agoda), I was told that the management had accidentally sold the room that I reserved to local tourists that booked directly with their office. I was very upset as the nearest alternative hotel was a couple of kilometres away in the nearest town of Metro.rnrnTo their credit, the staff that received us did seem apologetic and offered a full refund for the amount that I paid on Agoda. We also accepted the room that they arranged for us at a village home for the night and also enjoyed the breakfast that they provided the next day. Overall, I'm satisfied with the way they managed their mistake. However, it's best to book directly with them to avoid such mix-ups.

Review: This is a lovely, simple lodge very near to Way Kambas. The pros are it's spacious and quite cool at night. The downside is the food at the lodge, including breakfast, is very simple/low quality and overly expensive. The food on the menu is 3x the price in Jakarta or another large city in Indonesia. The lodge would be much more attractive to travelers if there was a swimming pool. It's a very hot climate in Lampung and a swimming pool would be a strong selling point.

Review: Only one step away from Way Kambas National Park. Very quiet place, surrounded by village. The food is good, they asking what we want for lunch or dinner. The staff are friendly. Would be perfect if they provide TV in rooms and need improve the internet connection.

Review: One of my best short escape from Jakarta. nTaman Nasional Way Kambas is only hundreds of meters away, so location wise, Satwa Eco Lodge is the best you could get.nnI enjoyed the sound of cicadas, birds and goats while my daughter was really enjoying chasing chickens in the morning. nWe have a really good sleep!nnThank you pak Sugeng!

Review: The place to stay for Birding Way Kambas.nGreat rooms though no air-conditioning if you need it.nI was treated like a king with meals everyday even thought the staff were fasting.ngreat grounds and 300m to the park.n

Review: clean and comfortable rooms, quite and natural jungle-like surroundings. no tv, but wi fi is available. just enjoy the serenity of this place and you will like it. if you dont have your own car, transportation may be a problem.

Review: Very friendly and helpful staff, nice place, a bit old, simple interior. The water heater didn't work, but we were too busy enjoying the conservatory that we didn't mind to make a complain.

Review: Simple but clean place in nice garden setting. Yummy home-cooked food. Ideal for exploring Way Kambas.
