    Although The Staff is nice The room itself was reall worn out, The furniture and matresses are dilapitated. It could be cleaner as well. The big cockroach crawling on the bathroom floor at night was a bit too much for me.

    Moon Valley Cottage is a great hotel, run by extremely attentive staff who offer a great level of service. The hotel Manager is also exceptional. I visit Kovalam nearly every year for since 2006 and since finding Moon Valley 6 years ago this is the only hotel stay at. I like the location away from the hub of beach shops/bars and the serenity of the hotel offers great relaxation, yet is only 5 minutes walk to the beach. Namaste

  • 4/5 The P. 4 years ago on Google
    The hotel is located very close to the ocean, accessable by elevated sidewalks, where you must drag your luggage from the street for about 100M as no cars/bikes can go on these sidewalks.. The room was large with a nice balcony to relax outside. the bathroom was large & comfortable From the room I could see the other hotels, not much of a view, but it is a short min walk to the water & many restaurants, shops, etc The hotel upkeep is average with the room being dirtier than most, but not poor enough to complain. The mattress was rather comfortable. The room was too small to accommodate a desk to work a full day. The hotel didn't provide WiFi. The room lacked AC however the ceiling fan kept us very comfortable. The hotel is located within talking distance to most of the tourist attractions

  • 5/5 anirudh b. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 30 reviews
    Well maintained rooms, focused on cleanliness, very hygienic and good location near beach but cars cannot come to the hotel and you will have to walk with luggage for 100 mts to hotel... Also Don't forget to have lunch where Mr. Dileep recommend...The food was a pure Kerala delicacies prepared by two women at just Rs. 100/- per thali..

    Everything is perfect. Room, location . Especially the staff here is so welcoming, honest. Special thanks to Mr Dileep. I wasn't able to find this cottage then he was on call with me for 25mins and telling me the way to reach the cottage πŸ‘. You must go their if you're in Kovalam and the price for stay is also not too high. They are in budget.

    Room was close to the beach and restaurents.But rooms are not properly maintained and cleaned. We had checked in early so staff didn't cleaned the room properly didn't even changed the bed sheets. Rooms are suffocated and unhygienic.Bad smell in room.

    The owner and the staff are very nice and helpful. They will make sure to make your stay the best. The rooms are big and neat. The location is just near the beach and you need to walk a little. I would definitely recommend it.

    I booked this room expecting a comfortable queen bed for a romantic getaway, but was utterly disappointed to find two single cots pushed together instead. While the room itself might be okay, the sleeping situation is completely unacceptable for a queen bed listing. Here's why this arrangement is a major letdown: Uncomfortable and Unromantic: Clots provide a narrow, divided sleeping surface, leaving a gap in the middle that disrupts sleep and intimacy. Sharing a single mattress on two frames is awkward and uncomfortable, not ideal for a couple seeking closeness. Misleading Description: The listing advertised a queen bed space, which implies a single, unified sleeping surface suitable for two adults. Finding two separate cots instead feels like false advertising and a bait-and-switch tactic. Reduced Sleep Quality: The gap between the cots creates an unstable sleeping area, increasing the risk of falling or rolling into the crack. This makes it difficult to get a good night's sleep, which is crucial for any vacation. Overall, this discrepancy between the advertised queen bed and the actual sleeping arrangement significantly compromised my experience. It's important for potential guests to be aware of this misleading description and the uncomfortable reality of sleeping on two single cots in a supposedly queen-sized space. Here are some suggestions for improvement: Clearly and accurately describe the sleeping arrangements in the listing. If the room only has single cots, state it explicitly instead of using misleading terms like "queen bed space." Offer options for couples: If single cots are the only available configuration, consider offering an option to add a mattress topper or bridge piece to create a more unified sleeping surface for couples. Be transparent and upfront: Honesty is key. Acknowledging the limitations of the sleeping arrangement upfront will help guests make informed decisions and manage their expectations. By addressing these issues, the accommodation can avoid disappointing guests and provide a more accurate and comfortable experience for everyone. I hope this review helps other travelers make informed decisions and avoid the same frustrations I encountered.
