It was high season and we couldn't get anywhere in Bentota. This place was recommended, but it was just a but tired and the staff seemed a bit lost. The bar area looked quite inviting, with good lighting. But the restaurant was like it's slightly plainer sister. And the lay out didn't really work. It was quite a large area,... More

We booked 5 nights in the hotel. When we arrived to the hotel we realized that this place is exactly the place we want to be. We had nice room with ocean view, excellent breakfast, great atmosphere. Also staff is very friendly, they will do anything to make you happy! silvia

As we arrived, we booked into another hotel believing it was a great deal, and found Moon Beam afterwards on our visits to the main beach. The hotel is right at the happening spot of Hikkaduwa, with some greenery, and with few steps from the sea, right on the sand. The room was very comfortable and well maintained, we were... More

So this was the last stage of our trip in Sr Lanka and we decided to make Hikkaduwa the final stop. We cycled around and looked at various options. Hotel Moon Beam was pretty much the best hotel under a USD$100. At first, the "manager" of the place tried to fleece us on the rooms rates but knowing that this... More

The location is great, the rooms are average, try to get on the beach end. Rooms are basic, no safe or fridge Food was a great amount but a long wait. Front desk man had no idea what to do when we told he the aircon was lousy and that each day we had no hot water, lucky the cold... More

Hotel was not over priced for a beach front hotel. Room was clean, AC worked fine. Restaurant is nice but menu a bit limited. Service (as with most of Sri Lanka) is slow but hey, you're on vacation to relax, no? One word of warning. Do NOT attempt to swim in front of the hotel at low tide. The rocks... More

I am currently staying at the hotel and in the short time I have been here I have been bitten over 20 times. I made my own bed as it wasn't made and whilst making it, I was bitten again by bed bugs. When I told the Manager, (Owner) he just moved me to a smaller room with no direct... More

The ocean front rooms are ok. There are now new rooms with air conditioning that cost $50 a night, which is high as there is no internet available and the breakfast is prety bad. Too many furniture in the rooms make is unconfortable. We stayed in a fan room and it was great to have the view

we visited the Moon Beam in October (off season). The setting was just what we expected (having read the review in Lonely Planet). However we were disappointed by the service and the food. Why advertise yourself as "pizza specialist", and then say "we have no pizza"? And the promised espresso was also "not possible today". Hopefully the restaurant works better... More
