About this coliving

Lagoon & Laptop is a guesthouse in Negombo with 5 bedrooms for up to 10 residents. Rent includes utilities, Wi-Fi and weekly cleaning, which keeps long stays affordable. Twice a week the house cooks together, and Friday is sunset drinks with the whole crew. Monkeys, kingfishers and the odd peacock are regular visitors to the garden.

Wi-Fi runs at around 110 Mbps, with a 4G backup router. Every room has a desk, and rent includes utilities, Wi-Fi, weekly cleaning and bed linen & towels.

Negombo is a beach town about 20 minutes from Bandaranaike International Airport, with a long sandy beach, a busy fishing harbour and a large lagoon. It's an easy first or last stop, and a calm base for a short stay.

Second stay here and it was just as good. Waking up to birds and monkeys in the garden never got old. Very fair price for what you get, with utilities, cleaning and Wi-Fi included. Roshan and the team made everyone feel welcome. A scooter helps, as the shops are a short ride away. Highly recommend it for anyone working remotely.

Felt at home from the first evening. Roshan was incredibly helpful with everything from SIM cards to scooter rental. Already planning my next stay.

A calm, friendly base for a month of work. Roshan checks in without ever being in the way. Thanks for a wonderful month!

A really well-run house. Rooms are simple but comfortable, with good mattresses.

A great balance between work and island life. Family dinners twice a week made it easy to get to know everyone. Laundry was easy to sort out and the house is kept very tidy. There were a couple of power cuts, but the 4G backup kept us online. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

I arrived knowing nobody and left with a group of friends. Surrounded by green and very relaxing. Communication with Roshan was quick and easy before I arrived. The kitchen gets busy at dinner time, but people are good about cleaning up.

Booked on a whim and so glad I did. Roshan sorted out an airport pickup and a local SIM before I even landed. Big thanks to everyone in the house.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Lots of spontaneous weekend trips with housemates. My room was clean, bright and quiet.

Came for one month and stayed for three. A great mix of people. We still have a group chat going. Great value for a long stay. Whenever something broke, Roshan had it fixed the same day. Bring mosquito repellent for the evenings. Would definitely come back.
