“Best place if you’re a working nomad”
+Wow. This place! I am so lucky I found it, it’s the perfect place to get work done, while enjoying a top villa and great people coming and going. Asitha and the rest of the team are simply lovely. There’s coffee for you to use, super good internet… honestly best place to have a balanced stay in Ahangama!
−Everything was TOP

“Short but good.”
+The scenery is beautiful, the upkeep of the home is great, could be a bit more weather proof near the roof rooms as it become quite wet when raining but it was a beautiful relaxing place to do some work if you are needing a quite space to work and travel
−It was good definitely an adventurous room the budget single room, a bit of a safety risk in the rain with slippery metal winding stairs but other than that it was ok. Was a little hard the location to find but other than.

“Great place to work”
+Great wifi, includes bicycle that is free to use which was really helpful seeing as it’s a little bit far from some places. Nice common spaces. Good place to work. Super friendly staff. There was still enough restaurants around to get by. I mainly stayed here to surf gas stations break nearby as it’s very close but then discovered there’s not really any board rentals nearby. If you stay it would really benefit to have a scooter. Then it’s a really great option and solves my issues. There’s an upstairs area as well that you can do yoga or exercise and borrow yoga mats.
−They don’t have a/c for environmental reasons which I respect, but in saying that it was still very hot at times. And yes plenty of fans but then you have loud fans on all the time. But it’s not a big deal, with windows open it was comfortable.

“Super comfortable and great value co-working and living space”
+I spent 4 days at Colive as part of a month long trip in Sri Lanka. As I was doing remote work, the facilities here were fantastic, with a dedicated work space and great, reliable wifi which uses solar back-up to enable connection even during power cuts which happened twice during my stay. I stayed in a separate bungalow which was lovely and had hot water shower and toilet. Right next door is the fantastic and rightly popular restaurant, Manori's kitchen. All the staff here were great, really helpful and sociable and responsive. In terms of value for money, as a co-work space and residence, it's unbeatable. Honestly, I wish I'd booked for longer.
−Just for full disclosure, there was a bit of noise from neighbouring places at night, so not the best for those seeking an early night, but for myself, I was extremely happy with my stay here.

“Passable”
+The coliving spaces are alright, with a relatively well equipped kitchen and a nice pool. The staff are friendly and always trying to help.
−Unfortunately our stay here was rather disappointing. We had booked a room with a balcony but upon our arrival the staff told us that the only room that was available didn’t have a balcony, and that the description on booking needs to be updated. The room we got was unbearable hot. We knew that the room wasn’t going to have AC but even two fans didn’t manage to cool down the room. And we couldn’t keep the windows open at night as there were too many mosquitos and no mosquitos nets at the windows or above the bed. On top of that, the neighbour’s dog didn’t stop barking for the whole 4 nights that we were. The coworking situation is mediocre. Most of the chairs in the coworking space are broken and in general the work area doesn’t seem to be well taken care of. We wanted to take some more sensitive work calls from our room but it was just too hot and the table and chair in the room are too uncomfortable to sit with a laptop. The place definitely has a lot of potential, but at the moment is not what it could be.
