A great place to stay in Negombo. Good value for money and staff were super welcoming and helpful. They try to ensure guests are as comfortable as possible. Location was very convenient with just a short walk to the beach and shops/restaurants. Highly recommend!

They make you feel like a member of the family
This place is really amazing. Location is close from airport (about 15 minutes), the rooms are clean and we had the best mattress for a good night rest. The restaurant is really good and have lots of variety but the things that makes it exceptional is the owner and all the staff who works there. We had so much help to plan our trip and everyone is so helpful and gentle. We recommend 200% and we will stay there again for sure. If we could give more than 5 starts we would do it.

I have stayed here several times now and it never disappoints me. I always arrive in the middle of the night yet someone is always there to meet us and get us settled in. The staff are so lovely and helpful. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is fresh and good. The pool is clean and well maintained. The location is out of the busy town which is what I like, but still within walking distance to the beach and local restaurants. Getting a tuk tuk into town and to the sights is easy and cheap.

We stayed with this family for the 6th time in three years and we were treated very good by Rowan and his wonderful wife and three lovely sons. The woman and boys who serve food and clean the place are very good to us as well.👍👍👍.

Perfect place to begin or end your Sri Lanka trip.
Really lovely rooms, a nice pool area. The people who run it are really friendly and go above and beyond to make the stay an enjoyable one. It's about a 10 minute walk to the beach and restaraunt area.

Nice hotel about 10 mins walk from shops & restaurants in Negombo. Pool area and garden is much smaller than they look in the photo. It’s a family home as well as hotel.

Bra valuta för pengarna
Summer Side ligger på gångavstånd till stranden, har renliga rum och en mysig pool. Personalen är väldigt hjälpsam och är familjedrivet. Frukosten är en basic frukost bestående av frukt, toast, ägg och te/kaffe. Jag besöker gärna detta hotell igen, det ger verkligen valuta för pengarna.

Good overnight stop
We used this hotel as an overnight stop before our flight home. It is close to the airport and therefore very convenient. The hotel looks like it has been recently renovated but there are a few bits that still need finishing. The hotel is clean and comfortable. It is only a few minutes walk from the main coast road where there are several restaurants to choose from. Breakfast is good fruit, yoghurt, toast and eggs of our choice. We needed to leave early and they had no problems with serving us at 6:30am. The hotel is very good value for money. It also has a very nice swimming pool, although we did not have the opportunity to use it.
