Description
This English/Thai managed place has well positioned comfortable bungalows that are clean -- and cleaned daily -- with spotless bathrooms. Their restaurant is great, with the authentic Thai food in particular worth a mention. The stretch of beach here is lovely, with fine swimming offshore and there is a small beach bar to relax in come late afternoon. Friendly staff.

I loved this place. For the prices they charge it's a total bargain for a piece of paradise.
Most of the guests when I was there were either German or French.
Stayed in a fan bungalow which was attached to another of the same. You could hear your neighbours almost like you were in the same room. But it was spacious and it's cleaned daily with new towels provided.
The beach might as well have been private because there was hardly anyone ever there! And it's a really nice strip of beach with nice sand, not huge waves, and water is very swim-able.
The restaurant is a great place to hang out. Staff are so friendly and I loved the food & drinks. I ate here almost the entire time. The MaeNam strip has a few okay eating establishments.
There are two dogs that live there and hang out giving the place a really nice vibe for friends and hanging out.
It's a nice, remote place for an extremely relaxing time. You won't find a McDonalds or Starbucks anywhere nearby. So if u want a bit of seclusion to relax, this could be your spot!

Underwhelmed -

The beach itself was beautiful, but Moonhut itself fell short. None of the owners were around during the week I spent there, which probably accounts for the state of things. The frontline staff was an 18 year old sullen young man who anwered every question with grunts, pointing or frowns. After the 2nd day, I didn't bother to try talking to him. The food at the restuarant was awful, either undercooked or burned - and with my hamburger on day one, both at once! There were ants in the bun, and it was stale. My friend ordered a Thai noodle soup, and the chicken was also half raw. We didn't eat it, and were still charged. We tried again a couple of days later, simple breakfast of toast and eggs, and again, stale bread, burned eggs and stone cold tea. Bungalows were haphazardly cleaned, and on 2 days, not cleaned at all. Sheets were not changed until day 6 when I asked. Only inertia kept us there, and once it wore off, we walked down the beach to a friendlier (and cheaper) set of bungalows.
Great value -

I loved Moon Huts! The staff are very friendly and the owner is always on hand to offer advice and suggestions.
The food at their restaurant is pretty good. The restaurant is right in front of the beach so you have a great view while you're eating.
They also have a family of three dogs who are all very friendly and playful.
The huts look fairly new. There's a small balcony in front, and they have a clothes line with a few clothespin so you can hang your clothes to dry. There are two glass pane windows: one in front, the other off one side of the hut. Both these windows have a screen, so you can leave them open overnight without fear of having mosquitos (or humans) coming into your hut. They also provide a couple of shelf for your things and a rod plus a couple of hangers for your clothes.
The bathroom/toilet is big enough and very clean. A big plus!
If ever I find myself in Ko Samui again, I will definitely stay at Moon huts!
Not as good as expected -

After reading the reviews I was a little disapointed. The beach while quiet by Samui standards, but was quite dirty in places with a lot of rubbish and the water was not very clear.
The resort itself was OK, but not brilliant, i paid for large room with hot shower which was not working. Food was very average and I was disapointed after the great reviews I'd read. Plus there is currently a construction site next door so it can be a bit noisy as well.
Over all it is quite laid back and the staff were nice, part of the problem was I'd just come from Phangan so it was never going to compare. I'd stay again for a night while transfering to one of the other islands but wouldn't stay here any longer. Although there is a great resturant in Maenam town called Twins restaurant. Best Panang Curry I've ever had. If you are in Maenam go to this restaurant.
Somewhere to avoid -

Although the beach was nice, the people who ran Moon Huts were not. My friends and I felt completely unwelcome and received some pretty nasty comments from the people who worked there. We left as soon as we could, moved about 200 meters down the (same) beach to cheaper bungalows with a much nicer group of employees (called Ubon Villa, comes with my highest recommendations). Koh Samui is littered with places to stay and I would almost recommend any of them over Moon Huts.
we're back! -

We booked for a week, then extended our stay for as long as we could. Staff are fantastic, the food is the best we have had in the Gulf of Thailand and we made many friends in the excellent beach-front restaurant and bar. The rooms are near new, spotless and serviced with clean towels and linen every few days. We will definitely be back. Cheers Ally and Kwan for a great stay.
It's a good spot -

I stayed here earlier this year and liked it a lot. The bungalows are really clean -- I had one right near the beach (not sure if it is the one in the picture), but it was a great location. I think I paid a bit more than is listed above though.
As above review says, the food is delicious. It was nice to have real Thai food in a backpacker kind of place. There's a pool table and sports TV as well, I wasn't so wrapped in that, but others obviously were. I'd stay here again.
