Moonlight Cottage Phuket

Quiet, clean modern rooms. owner very helpful. Excellent value for money

It started just 1 hour after landing....got to the cottage around 12 pm...the checkin time was 2 pm, although I didn't inform I requested an early checkin on site as all the room were unoccupied but to my surprise my request was shot down rather rudely stating rooms will be cleaned first and clearly no room was occupied and 2 rooms were already cleaned, I again called and explained my condition that I had an overnight flight my 2 kids 1 and 4 years old are hangry and irritated and after vociferous requesting he checked me in after 15 minutes. The location is remote and the cottage is understaffed only one cleaner one time for the whole day. The same day I inquired for breakfast but it was not available the next day surprisingly due to whatever reason. Now the big problem starts , there are n number of red ants roaming in the premises, as I had young child and infant there is bound to be food on the floor, when we returned late night after exploring my room was swarming with red ants , I knocked multiple times at the owners door, also rang the bell outside but he didn't even come out, was clearing the ants with a broom and towels for 1.5 hrs, some 9.2 rated cottage I booked. Ruined my 1st day royally. Would strongly advise families to stay away from this place, adults or solo travellers can get by. PS : on the day of checkout I had an early morning island tour so requested the owner to keep our luggage inside their store room as we will be leaving by 5 in morning, He sa

This place is really quaint and set in a beautiful area. The waterfall is nearby (if you want to walk 20 mins) and a humane elephant sanctuary is close by as well. We went to both and the hotel was convenient for this. The owners are quite nice, they live on the compound and have two cats and children. They were accommodating and humble.

Lovely big room which was well equipped. Excellent value and helpful owner. Right near the port so conviniwnt location.

Lovely accommodation. Basic but with all we needed inc aircon, tv, toiletries, insect screens. friendly owner, great breakfast (which you buy on top of room cost) and lovely location. i hope to return one day

Moonlight is tucked away in a neighborhood which definitely yielded a quite nights stay. The property and room was immaculate. If you don’t have a car or motorbike, there is not much for eating options. Closest restaurant is 10 miles walk, but probably the best food that I have had in Phuket. For me, the only downside to Moonlight was the bed. I fully understand that mattress firmness is highly subjective, but the mattress in my room was as firm as tile floor. Owner is extremely nice. Woke up to a small box of sticky rice treats and she even drove me to the pier.

Really nice place, nice location and super friendly staff.

Room was nice, big, clean and air conditioning was heaven. On the other hand there’s nothing around the cottage for food etc.

Very comfortable and breakfast was a wonderful treat! We loved the pastry and sticky rice cooked in a leaf. A beautiful spot with lots of birds in the morning especially. The only downside is that it is a bit isolated. A vehicle would be useful although we walked to an excellent restaurant. Was 2 km and a few hills but good exercise so we didn't mind. Although it wouldn't be a walk for everyone.Saw interesting things along the way such as a woman taking her cows home for the night.

Lovely place to stay whilst passing through to one of the islands off Phuket. Room was clean and tidy all mod cons included, great value for money. We were provided with fresh fruit the next morning which set us up for our trip. Owner took us to the pier the next day and was so helpful thank you.

Excellent location, very quiet, still close to the main road. The room and the bathroom have all you might need. We had a car, but the owner can arrange pick up and transport. The place is close to Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (1.5 km), THE ONLY Elephant SANCTUARY in Phuket (not a tourist attraction but a place which actually cares about a few old and injured elephants) and Ao Po Pier. We were welcomed in 10 mins from the time of the booking and surprised with tasty breakfast in the morning.

Great rooms with plenty of space. Very clean and well run. You are in a rural location so will need to hire a motorcycle or taxi to get around though. Beautiful place and the staff are very helpful.

This is place is a great chilled vibe, very calm if you want peace and quiet..

Local breakfast provided each morning that was delicious. Very private location that is quite. My only mistake was not having a rental car as there is not much in terms of restaurants or shops near by

Only stayed for one night but could not have been made more welcome on our first night in Thailand. The room and amenities were spot on - very impressive even by Western Standards. The owner kindly arranged onward transfer for the following morning (taxi to the pier) and greeted us in the morning with a delicious Thai breakfast to send us on our way. The pot noddles and snacks (small charge) in the room made sure we were fulfilled for dinner. The hotel is down a side street and at night it’s very dark so not really an option walking to the local stores for food. Would definitely stay again, and we stayed before onward transfer to Santhiya Koh Yao Yai resort.

We arrived late in the evening and the owner was very accommodating letting us have a late check in. He drove us to the ferry the next morning too. Friendly & smiley. Rooms were really big, v clean & had everything we needed. Beautiful, quiet location. The beds were a bit hard & uncomfortable and the restaurant for breakfast was closed. Its worth checking on that before you go. I would highly recommend & we could easily have stayed for longer

I have stayed here once before and I loved it just as much this time around. Close to the gibbon rehab center as well as two ethical elephant sanctuaries, also close to Bangrong Pier from where you can take a boat to the Koh Yao islands. A 7-11 and supermarket about a 10 min walk away. Quiet area away from the hustle and bustle. Free bicycles to explore the area and the option to hire a scooter. Airport transfers can be arranged by the property. Restaurant next door serves yummy breakfast. Dinner can be ordered to be delivered to your room. The room is spacious and clean. Good WiFi. Snacks (at a fee) and free water available in the room. The owners are lovely and helpful. I felt at home and would certainly stay again. Thank you.

Everything was perfect on arrival clean rooms with great service at the front desk. Very spacious rooms with nice front porch to chill at.

Perfect stay with such friendly and helpful owners!

We arrived at the Moonlight Cottage at 02:00 A.M. after a 33 hour trip to get to Phuket. We were met by the owner who showed us our rooms, which were spacious, clean and very well maintained. The area is very quiet, but there really wasn’t much to do or see. We only stayed for two nights and the restaurant was closed for one of the days, which was a shame, because the breakfast we were served was absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for quiet isolation, this place is amazing.
