Summary of traveller reviews

Medan Dazhong Backpacker's Hostel is praised for its friendly and helpful owner, Mr. Yao, who offers great local advice and tour planning for Sumatra adventures. Its central location is convenient for exploring Medan and accessing amenities. Some travellers found the jungle tour booking to be expensive and not as described.

This property was great I stayed here for a night after the jungle trek and the owner was so helpful form when I needed to find a charger adapter he even offered his own and he also reminded me that I forgot my iPad in my room. Loved this place and especially the owner he is a very nice lovely man.

It was a great stay with a very nice and helpful host. Unfortunately the showers were cold, and the beds were very bad. They helped set up our trip to Bukit Lawang which was nice.
