Hi there.
Ive stayed at Barong 5 times.Its a great place for a budget hotel.Rooms are adequate,Air con icy,beds comfy,pools are great,staff are lovely.The guys that work in the pool bars are awesome and love a joke.Look out for Wayan Paramatha & Wayan Surayasa when youre having a drink.
If you can,try and request a room in the rear wing of the hotel.Its newer and nearer to 24 hour pool area.Great for people watching :)
The front section of the hotel is ok but can get a lot of street noise.
Being part of the Bounty chain,you get discount for rafting,waterbom park,nightclubs (& drink specials)You can also use the facilities of the sister hotels Bounty & Dewi Sri.
The location of the hotel is great & close to everything...markets,restaurants,kodak money changers,surf shops,beach,bars & clubs.Everything is walking distance.The only negative aspect to this hotel is that it can sometimes be noisy at night.Other than that I fully recommend this place to anyone.
If you have any other questions...fire away.
Enjoy your trip :)
Cheers
