✅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.
Simply:
- tell us details for your space
- we currently only include spaces offering mixed duration stays (month-to-month or under), not exclusively longer-term on lease; there must be a shared kitchen and living spaces; very small spaces cannot be considered as a 'community'
- we'll issue your marque image to add to your site, upgrading your listing with a hilight; you may qualify for a star classifcation
🙌We plan for the site to become a platform co-op in which operators and users alike have a say in its features and management for our mutual benefits — 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:
- your pricing with a from xxx per week / xxx per month on your landing page, i.e. as used on here
- workspace facilities you have (dining tables, or proper desks and ergo chairs?), plus your internet speed (both up and down!) test it only when nobody is using it
- how easy it is to find food shops/market, restaurants, the outdoors (parks, beaches, hikes) and activities
- how easy you are to reach (with details) by transit, else if you offer a pickup from the station or airport (and how much you charge)
- how many rooms you have, and some details of the different types (ensuite, studios, doubles, dorms, pods/capsules, 'premium', basic?)
- if you offer shared rooms; don't say 'double' for unrelated people sharing, a double-bed is a big bed that can be for double occupancy (usually a couple, but not always!) or single occupancy; a room with two beds is called a 'twin' room, two beds above each other are bunk beds, and more than two beds is called a 'dormitory'
- your next availability 👍 maybe indicating for how long (ideally using an automated integration; we're planning a booking/property management system with this, else don't forget to keep it up to date)
For the best community experience:
- always onboard new members when they arrive, introducing the common spaces and how to look after them, plus…
- 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, even just an email list; 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 the map still allowing directions and reviews
- to OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps
- as a checkin location on Facebook (page with location address, not a personal profile) for user tagging on instagram, and for reviews
