Ronaldo, 33, won four Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, Spanish Super Cup and FOUR Ballons d'Or in Madrid before joining Juventus this summer.
But Bale claims the Real team is more "relaxed" without their old talisman.
He told the Daily Mail: "Obviously it's going to be a little different from having such a big player there.
"It's maybe a bit more relaxed, yes. I suppose there is more of a team, more working as one unit rather than one player."
Bale was not a guaranteed starter under Zinedine Zidane last season but has flourished under new boss Julen Lopetegui, scoring three league goals in four games.
The Welshman admits being able to speak English with Lopetegui has made life easier.
He said: "Obviously it helps.
"In Spanish I can talk (to a manager) but maybe not go into that amount of detail with them that I would need to.
When asked whether he considers Lopetegui a better manager than Zidane, he said: "I'm not sure I want to answer that."
While Bale is thriving, Ronaldo has endured a difficult start to the season at Juventus.
He got off the mark yesterday with two goals against Sassuolo but admitted he was suffering from anxiety due to his three-game duck.
Ronaldo said: "I was a little bit anxious as expectations were high. I really wanted to score, so I'm happy.
"Of course, there was attention after my arrival in Turin, but life is like that.
"I'm happy. I'm working well and my team-mates help me to adapt to this championship."
