✅Spaces displaying the marque self-certify as being invested into their community — making themselves recognisable as supporting their members and guests together as a community, not just a space.

To gain a hilight on the map, in listings and featured spaces, simply:

• tell us details for your space: together@coliving.community
• must offer stays of a month or under, have a shared kitchen and living spaces, with at least 6 rooms (some exceptions)
• we'll issue your marque image to add to your site, upgrading your listing; you may also qualify for a star classifcation

🙌We plan to function as a platform co-op in which operators and users alike have a say in its features and management for mutual benefit — we look forward to your participation in helping shape what we can do together!

We do have some tips…

For the best experience on your site, show:

• a price hint — on your landing page e.g. from xxx per week / xxx per month
• next availability — e.g. availbility in June for 2 weeks, monthly from August 1st (ideally using an automated integration; we're planning a feature with this, else do update)
• workspace facilities — a dining table, proper desks, ergo chairs; plus your internet speed / connection type (test; both up and down)
• how many rooms you have, and some details of the different types (ensuite, studios, doubles, dorms, pods/capsules, 'premium', basic?)
• photos for each and every of your common spaces
• how your community functions — is a host or facilitator resident, is there a regular family meal or planning meeting?
• how far are — food shops/market, restaurants, the outdoors (parks, beaches, hikes), etc.
• how to reach you — by transit, else do you offer a pickup from the station or airport?

For the best community experience:

• onboard new members when they arrive, introducing the common spaces and how to look after them, plus…
• if you use a volunteer facilitator/community manager, offer them training and guidance (e.g. become a member of the Coliving Hub association or other groups that share best practices); inexperienced volunteers may badly affect community, unless they make up for it with their energy and involvement 😉
• have a physical place to share event ideas amongst members (such as a blackboard on a wall) in a common accessed area 👏
• use a commonly accessible community chat tool (e.g. Whatsapp, Telegram or Slack may not be common!) 👍

Add your space:

• to Google maps (required for inclusion on our map, though you can ask us to use only your position if you prefer to be semi-private†), with photos; and do encourage guests to leave reviews (but don't pester them!); †it is nonetheless possible to add but hide your business on Google Maps still allowing directions and reviews
• as a checkin location on Facebook (page with location address, not a personal profile) for user tagging on instagram, and for reviews
