Barong Resort and Spa

Great location, friendly staff, large rooms and great bathrooms. I would bring my family here if they could accommodate an extra bed in the room (there’s enough space).

The staff is wonderful, my last day was my birthday (not sure how they knew) and 4 of them came to my room with a cake singing happy birthday!! They greeted me everytime they seen me with a smile. I was traveling alone so was a little nervous when choosing a place but I felt totally safe there. My only negative was if you ask them to book you a ride he uses his friend Katut who charges a lot more than just walking out and using one of the other people, that part kinda took away from the “family” feel they have going. But maybe they don’t even know this driver is doing that. I would definitely go back to the barong I just wouldn’t use their driver. It’s clean and comfortable! House keeping is amazing, they come in twice a day to change out towels, bring bottled water and empty any trash. Plus they bring fruit in the morning and some snack in the evening. Some reviews said bad Wifi but for me it was good. The massage was nice too. The restaurant had good food, just a small selection but I am very picky. They offer a few trips from the hotel that is included, if I had it to do again I would do the trekking the first day just to get a feel for the area. It’s just a great hotel with amazingly nice people.

Very happy with our stay.

Overall , Barong was better than I had expected. We only stayed a couple of nights and wanted a central position, so we could walk everwhere, and this place is perfect in that respect. At the same time, the area where the rooms are, and pool is very quiet at restful. Our room was large, with a full bathroom, incl shower and bath. Very clean and tidy. Reasonable price at the mini bar. Would stay again.

Hotel is in a great location, and the staff are very eager to help, however a few annoying aspects... The WiFi connection is terrible (didn’t work the majority of our stay) which is an inconvenience when trying to plan your trip. Also I feel they need to do more to ensure there’s no mosquitoes in your actual bedroom, maybe they leave the door open whilst cleaning? Also the bedroom door to our room wasn’t secure and could have easily have been broken in to. A bit of a worry as the safe was broken too!
