For my sanity, so I never have to think about these awful people again, I'm copying here my complaint to Mallorca's tourism authority.
"I stayed at this company's Gomila property June 2–Aug 30. My complaint has 4 parts:
Palma Coliving contracted with me in bad faith. The house was still under renovation when I arrived, and remained unfinished 12 weeks later. There was no A/C in my room for the first 25 days, or a closet until mid-July, or a bathroom door until August 16. The operators knew the work was incomplete and had no idea when the A/C would be installed, but never warned me of what to expect, and offered no reduced rate for the missing amenities listed on their website as standard. On booking I asked for a modest discount as a returning client staying 3 months, and was given 10% on that basis; but if hadn't asked, they were quite willing to charge me 100% for services I wouldn't get, without a word of warning. We were expected to roll with the punches 'because that's how it is in Spain' with construction labor. The lack of A/C for all of June was miserable. They refunded me €3.60 for each day I went without it, which I found unsatisfactory, since it had led to an infection and fever serious enough to visit the ER on June 10, and more than a day of lost working hours.
Their choice of flooring led to me slipping and falling twice, injured both times, the latter a broken toe on July 2 that's been disabling for months. Instead of real flooring with a non-slip surface, they unaccountably painted concrete floors with glossy latex house paint intended for walls, maybe because it was very cheap. The shiny surface became slippery with the smallest amount of moisture. I doubt Mallorca's building code allows for this in tourist accommodation. The broken bone left me with €500+ in expenses my insurance won't reimburse, mostly supports and supplies like orthopedic shoes and dozens of rolls of medical tape. Palma Coliving refused to refund these losses, insisting the modest value of a room upgrade for part of my stay covered both this outlay as well as the missing services. I disagree. I was unable to walk and effectively housebound in the property for the last two months of my stay. After a recent second x-ray I was told I can expect 6 months of pain. This was avoidable.
At one point Palma Coliving co-owner Matt Z. offered verbally to make a claim to the company's insurer for my unrefunded medical costs, which would've been the easiest way to conclude the matter. But he never did, instead turning rhetorical contortions to shift blame to the owner of the house (whom he refused to name, nor put me in touch with), then onto me. This suggests either the company is in bad financial standing with their insurer, or that the unsafe painted floors violated the policy and they couldn't make a claim without admitting as much. By the time I left no measures had been taken to protect other guests from the same risk of injury.
In an email August 30, excusing himself for letting me eat the cost of someone else's bad choices, Matt said, "As a nonprofit organization today, Palma Coliving is dedicated to building a supportive community rather than generating profit." It's not a nonprofit organization and shouldn't be allowed to misrepresent itself to avoid debt. I asked him to send me certification of nonprofit status, and of course he didn't. I find this a very troubling measure of Matt's relationship to reality, distorted risk assessment, and contempt that leads him to imagine clients would find it believable. This misrepresentation is surely illegal. If he doesn't understand the difference between a company not in profit and a nonprofit organization, he's the wrong person to make choices serving the safety of dozens of travelers at a time, many of whom seemed too young to feel comfortable speaking up about the service shortfalls. He also failed to provide their official complaint form when I asked, which also breaks the law."
These are bad actors operating in documented bad faith. Stay literally anywhere else.
Palma Coliving is in a great location, and the house is beautiful, but the management is disappointing. The founders claim to promote a co-living spirit, yet their actions show it's more of a money-driven business. Aga, the Happiness Officer, is the standout—she genuinely cares about the residents and does her best.
Unfortunately, the property is not well-maintained, and recent changes, like allowing non-residents to use the villa, have disrupted the community atmosphere. Concerns are often met with excuses, not solutions, which reflects their lack of focus on the co-living values they preach.
Stayed 6 weeks in the co-living in Palma. An experience I will remember forever! Nice atmosphere and lots of fun activities to participate in besides work.
Loved my experience with Palma coliving and Aga, our happiness officer. I stayed one month and although there were hiccups here and there (normal house maintenance) Aga always made sure to stay on top of everything and update us on the status. From day one they were super welcoming, addressed any of my concerns and put in a ton of effort to make sure the vibe and experience was good for everyone. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again!
Loved my time here! Met the most amazing people and did so many new activities. Yoga, clay working, snorkelling, tapas and drink nights, cliff diving, boat trips, chilling on the incredible beaches. Thanks Aga for making the stay comfortable and being such a great personality!
Also was able to work effectively in the main coworking space. There’s good internet, comfortable chairs and monitors that you can rent if you need it.
Palma Co-living was my 2nd co-living experience and 1st co-living experience in Europe. As always my attitude: "zero expectations" and with the mind set to "make the most of it!"
I stayed in the Villa for 2 months and absolutely loved my experience because of the following:
(1) the Villa was big enough to have your own privacy and personal space to work, yet felt like home in being able to run into your other housemates over morning coffee chats or evening dinners to plan activities during the week or weekend.
(2) The location was great, walking distance to grocery stores, coffee shops, about 10 mins walk away from Santa Catalina, and close to the bus stops if you wanted to make a trek down city center or explore beaches that are about 20/30mins bus ride away
(3) Community was the most important while co-living and I met the most amazing yet humble people who were once strangers but resulted in such strong memorable friendships. We would make endless activities whether it be beach days, road trips to explore other towns on the island, games night, spontaneous dinner plans or even evening trips to get some good gelato! Yoga classes were offered by the one and only Fabi! And def the highlight of my 2 months here was renting a boat with the 2 houses combined. Pretty amazing to leave the co-living experience on a high note with forever friends from all over the world!
(4) Last but not least, Aga, the Happiness Officer, was always there to listen to concerns and issues and truly make sure that you had everything you need. She was someone who you can sit down over a coffee or drink and have great conversations for hours. She genuinely cares about everyone's experience and tries every possible way to ensure everyone was included, and that everyone was getting the most of their time here.
Overall, I highly recommend everyone to try the Palma Co-living experience in Mallorca. Mallorca is for sure a large island with plenty of things to do, from hiking, exploring towns, the gorgeous beaches, and even the night life or culture. There is never a shortage of things to do! It really comes down to what YOU want to do and taking charge of your time here! Nothing is perfect, and it never will be, but if you are looking to explore a beautiful island, make some great friends and memories don't think twice!
Ciao!
Hi everybody,
5 stars aren't enough for Palma Coliving. Really fantastic in every way - from the beautiful, luminous rooms; to the living rooms and other co-working spaces; to the huge kitchen and pool out on the deck for relaxing; not to mention of course, the convivial living atmosphere - I felt at home with the community from the first moment.
The staff quickly became friends and the location can't be beat - near to the centre but still providing an oasis of calm.
Among many shining points; regular 'tapas' nights, pub crawls, bbqs, and other networking events were a great way to meet and greet people, as well as the city itself.
All the perfect ingredients for a person to mix as they like, in short, I can't recommend Palma Coliving highly enough.
I'm jealous of anyone going to stay, but hopefully I'll book again soon myself!
All the very best,
Bradley
