It was one of the few accommodations during my trip to Indonesia where I was satisfied with both the location, cleanliness, and wifi at an affordable price.The owner has a lot of information about Sumatra, so you can get advice or help with planning.If you are planning a volcano tour in Brastagi, I highly recommend it.Since many people sign up for tours within the accommodation, it was cheap and of good quality.However, since it is a popular accommodation, it is not easy to make a reservation.

The best thing about Kaesa Homestay was Kaesa itself, the owner is is amazingly friendly and a great host! The only info he needs is the amount of time you have in Berastagi and he will present you with an itinerary including what types of fruit to try and where to have coffee. We went on the sunrise hike to mount sibayak which was great. He also organized a driver for our following trip to Bukit Lawang: Mike was a safe and very friendly driver who taught us a lot about the surroundings. Would absolutly recomment him!Our driver who picked us up from the airport was quick but his racecar-style makes your hair stand on end.The sheets on our bed smelled so strongly of detergent that my hair still smelled of it the whole next day.

Absolutely recommended!!We stayed at Kaesa Homestay twice for two nights each during our trip.Kaesa and his team are absolutely lovely hosts. No matter what it's about or what questions you have, Kaesa always tries to help you.The homestay also offers a hike with a guide up Mount Sibayak for sunrise at a very fair price. To make the trip perfect, after the hike we go to the local hot springs :)

What a great homestay this is! Kaes and his family received us so warmly. Upon arrival, an explanation with a map of what there is to do in the area. The climb on the volcano, arranged by the homestay, was also perfect! Such beautiful views😍It felt just like coming home

Rooms were very tidy and clean. Bathroom as well. Beds were very good. We stayed 1 day longer to also have time for berastagie.If you have any questions about the organization, you can contact Kaesa. He even gives good tips, organizes the tours with good guides and is also very helpful in organizing the onward journey. We felt very well looked after.When our toilet leaked, we were immediately moved to another room. Unfortunately there is only one room with 2 beds, which is a shame. Our first room faced the inner courtyard and was much quieter. The second room has a better view, but also the street.

This place was one of the best accommodation we stayed in all Indonesia! The family that is running the homestay is super friendly and kind. They helped us a lot since the moment we arrived. If you are going to Sumatra you have to come to Berastagi and stay with them🙌🙌😊

Undoubtedly the best accommodation in all of Indonesia. Attentive, friendly, charming staff. They offer tours and transfers at competitive prices when they might charge higher prices like many other places. We did the tour to Mount Sibayak + hotsprings in a group of 8 people, the guide explained a lot, he was incredibly nice, and at no time did we feel like we had to run (at all!); we were by far the last group to return to our hotel and they still kept our breakfast. Simple but varied breakfast, good and included in the price. Good location, about 7' walk from the main street, and with restaurants and cafes 2' away. No noise Simple facilities, but part of the charm of the place and the people who stay there comes from here. All the staff including the drivers speak English and are extremely friendly. 10/10 well deserved.

Very hospitable welcome by the owner, no quick check-in but first some explanation about the city and the volcano tour, if desired. It is a homestay and the owners certainly want to convey that feeling, they want their guests to have a carefree stay.I had a room with a shared terrace with a view of the city, very nice to stay there. The room was spotless and I have experienced that differently in the cheaper homestays/guesthouses.The location is also good, a short 10-minute walk from the busy center of Berastagi.The price-quality ratio is excellent! Keep up the good work team Kaesa.

Very warm welcome from the owner. Staying only one night, he told us the essential things to see on Berastagi with his advice and tips. The room was spacious and clean. Comfortable bedding. Terrace with mountain view.On the other hand, be aware that a mosque is not far away, so the call to prayer can disturb sleep as well as the barking of dogs in the neighborhood but that did not prevent us from going back to sleep.For our departure, he organized our departure for Parapat and we took a shared car. Thanks to the driver Rio who speaks English very well and made the trip to Lake Toba very pleasant for us

I stayed at this place over a year ago but I have decided to only write this review now as I always think of the incredible hospitality of Cash Man and his wife! We visited during the Berastagi Fruit Festival which is the busiest time to visit. The host gave us a self guided tour of the festival which was so nice of them. The breakfast was great very morning and we were able to organise tours from them too which was great!Blessings to your family and I hope you keep smiling and laughing like you always do 😁

We stayed for three nights in this homestay, the rooms are spacious and clean, ours also had a beautiful view. The owners Keasa, his son and his family were fantastic, they gave us lots of explanations and advice on what to do and what to see around Berastagi. Through Kaesa we were also able to climb the volcano at night and go to the spa at a very fair price. The only big drawback is the mosque very close by. Being woken up every morning, despite earplugs, at 5am by practically shouted prayers given the proximity can be annoying.

The welcome we received at this homestay is just outstanding. We have been now travelling for almost 11 months and it is rare to experience such a kind and genuine welcome. My wife was ill and we needed to go to the hospital and even though it was quite late, the owner and his wife took us without charging us to the hospital, making sure there was no problem with translation, waiting for at least 1 hour with us and took us back. Always with a smile and making sure we are okay.On top of that, the food was really good. One of the best Nasi Goreng and Gado Gado that we have had in 6 weeks in Indonesia.The room are spotless and the beds are so comfortable. Honestly, I would have been happy to pay more for a stay of this quality.Thank you once again to the whole family for looking after us so well!

Very friendly owners, they will do everything for you. We forgot a bracelet and found out about it in Bukit Lawang. The owner of Kaesa found the bracelet for us and arranged that it was returned to us in Bukit Lawang.Furthermore the rooms are clean, the beds are good and the location is perfect. Oh, and the breakfast was delicious too.

I would give 10 stars if I could!We have been travelling through SE-Asia for a few months, and this is without a double one of the best places we've stayed at!Mr Kaesa and his family run this place with a smile, give the warmest welcome, give great advice on what to do in the neighborhood, and are always there when you need anything.The rooms are spacious, the shower are hot, there is a parking lot and a balcony with view over the city and mountains.There is a mosque nearby so it gets a little loud in the mornings ;). But bring a pair of airplugs and you'll sleep like a baby! Because the beds are super comfortable and very clean as well (we saw them wash the pillows and duvets every day!).The food is absolutely de-li-cious!!And they organize a tour to the Sibayak volcano for sunrise, which is amazing as well! The guide took us to places on the volcano where we were the only ones, e.g. in the crater to see and feel the heat. And he is very knowledgeable about the flora in the area.We had a great time, terima kasih! 🙏😊

We had a great stay at Kaesa homestay! The owner and his family are super friendly and can orginise everything for you e.g. a driver to your next destination or a sunrise trek to the Gunung Sibayak & hot springs (highly recommendable!!). The food is tasty - best Nasi Goreng Ayam we had so far!
