We stayed just one night at Linda's, but despite that she did everything she could to make us feel at home. There were 2 options, one bedroom in the house with shared bathroom (which we had) and a little kind of bungalow with it's own bathroom. While we were there they were building an extra room with ensuite bathroom. The... More

Come to Banda Aceh. Stay at Linda's. We arrived in Banda from Weh on the anniversary of the Tsunami. Linda was at the ferry port to meet us. She had been interviewing families who had lost members back in 2004. If you meet Linda she may tell you her own family's story. It was an honour to stay in the... More

I stayed here with a group of friends last week. Even we only stayed for one day, I can assure you that Linda's is a great place. The owner is very friendly, informative and reliable. She has lots of stories to share so you won't get bored even if you're travelling alone. I enjoy the car ride with her -... More

Really feels like you're staying in family's house :))) Stayed there for one night before going back to Jakarta. Linda was very helpful in accommodating all of our needs, treated us like family. The house and rooms were very clean and comfy, and it's in walking distance to Aceh's famous coffee shops. I would definitely recommend this place to friends... More

I was traveling with friends and we decided to stay at Linda's homestay for one night after returning to Banda Aceh from Weh island. Linda has been very friendly as well as very informative about the local culture. She showed us to very delicious culinary experience and sightseeing places around Banda Aceh. Her house is spacious with many beautiful antiques.... More

Having only one day to see Banda Aceh, I'm really glad I stayed with Linda. She was an excellent hostess, offering insight into the area from a very personal point of view. Although not necessarily cheaper than a hotel, Linda's hospitality makes a stay really worthwhile. She gave me a tour of the tsunami-related sights, as well as an insight... More

Linda welcomes you as a member of the family- even if just staying for one night if you're on the way to Pulau Weh, I would recommend staying here. Facilities are very clean and Linda is knowledgeable about onward travel as well. She can also tailor an Aceh trip to show you the best sights. I felt very safe with... More

I've been to Aceh with my colleagues to do special reports on Aceh, and the best way to experience and learn about Aceh and the people is to get to know and talk to them. Get to know Linda is already worth for staying there. She can tell you about the history, the tsunami experience and anything u need to... More

Before going to Aceh as a female on her own I was a little bit apprehensive: all the stories about life under sharia law and also during ramadhan? I decided to go anyway and it turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. Thanks to Linda and her sons Teguh and Dimas I had the best... More
