I stayed at The Gong for a couple of weeks while in Bali. I can not say enough about the + energy not only the staff gives, but the entire hotel has. It is built in Uluwatu in Bali (10 min walk to the point), and has a lovely garden, pool, and rooms. A simple place with a simple, kind,... More

We stayed at The Gong for three weeks back in February '12 and felt right at home. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very, very affordable. The pool was amazing and the food was great (I highly recommend the banana pancakes with honey). What stood out was the service. The Gong family was so friendly, helpful, and generous. I would...

We stayed in this place for three nights and we really enjoyed our stay. First of all the staff/family is very friendly and they will certainly make you feel like home. I wish all the best for them! The rooms are clean and there were also a nice pool area where you can eat for example your breakfast or just... More

The Gong is nice enough, has a relaxing pool, decent rooms, several with two twin beds, no AC but good crossbreezes and fans, and a great little restaurant. But the thing that really sets it apart is the staff. They all seem like one big family (which I think they might be?) and are the nicest people I met on... More

We stayed in quite a few places around this area including Rocky Bungalow and Tete's and the Gong was easily the nicest place. It has character, a bit of charm and friendly staff, something that Rocky's in particular is lacking. The rooms are fairly standard, clean and perfect if you want a no frills placed to stay close to the... More

The Gong is located 5 minutes from Uluwatu beach by motorbike. They had minor renovations going on (new tiles and general beautifying little things) so the owner or manager gave us a discount (nice +). Anything we needed she arranged for us-scooter for 50k/day, water taxi with free pick up n delivery, good food and Internet. I would recommend this... More

We've stayed at The Gong, following the reviews on Trip Advisor. First of all, you don't get any room rate at the reception desk. So they will set a price on the spot and you have to bargain immediately. Then you learn that you won't get the same price if you get a different person at check in. They will... More

We stayed at the Gong based on other reviews and really enjoyed our time there. It was hard to find b/c there was no address and the phone number didn't work. Our taxi driver had to pull over and ask locals where it was. The staff here are awesome! The food is great and it was a really neat place.... More
