I stayed at The Moonhut Bungalows in July 2012 with a small groups of friends. Alistair the owner made our stay an absolute pleasure and arranged transport to and from the airport and we hired a jeep during our stay to travel around the island, in fact nothing was to much trouble. The accommodation is more than adequate and although simple, my hut was spacious, always kept clean and the complex is relaxing in a laid back way.

Don't stay here if you are expecting starched uniforms, waitress service and bling, do stay here if you want to have great food, meet real people and enjoy beach life with a view to die for (all at a very reasonable price)

My partner and I stayed at Moonhut a few nights early this year. We saw the reviews and pictures on trip advisor and couldn't wait to get here! We had booked AC1 and were far from disappointed when we saw how close it was to the water - much closer than we thought! This is one of the coolest experiences I have had at a hotel.
Most of the room was nice (however most time was spent on the balcony) and even from our bed we had an amazing view of the ocean. It also had good air con, which is a massive bonus in Thailand.
Some of the staff were very friendly, however some didn't seem too bothered with guests.
There was a massage place next to our room which was awesome and very relaxing being right on the water.
The bar/restaurant was great, nice breakfast and VERY nice cocktails, it was also very close to the water and was an awesome place to see the sunset and just chill out.
The only thing that we were not thrilled with was the bathroom in our room. When we travel we don't expect perfection (particularly places that are this cheap) but we were disappointed, considering how nice the rest of the place was. The bathroom had plumbing problems with the shower which was leaking from the pipe and left a lot of rust and yucky water on the floor which also gave off a bad smell. There was a sign on the back of the door which said not to put toilet paper in the toilet or you would have to pay to get it fixed and there was an open bin next to the toilet in which you were to put it - not something we're used to or could get used to.
Aside from the bathroom, everything else was excellent!
If Moonhut renovated this bathroom, upgraded the toilet so it flushed toilet paper and fixed the shower, I would have more than happily paid double to stay here.

We stayed on the Family Bungalow and had a good stay for the money.

The bungalow itself was basic but clean & the location is amazing. We had breakfast there every day which was good and a number of other meals in their restaurant. The food is good but there are cheaper places of similar quality along the beach.

The owner has 3 or 4 dogs (it was difficult to tell which were with visitors) which are really cute but probably not the best place to stay if you don't like dogs.
