🌟Spaces displaying our marque self-certify as being invested into their community — making themselves instantly recognisable as supporting their members and guests together as a community, not just a space.
Simply:
- if you're not already listed tell us details for your space; we currently only list spaces offering mixed duration stays (month-to-month or under), not exclusively longer-term with notification periods
- display the marque with 1–3 classification tags most appropriate to help visitors understand your space's values and function; choose from our supported tags, and let us know if you think others should be added (some tags have criteria)
- link the logo on your site to your page on this site so visitors have an easy place to find and see public activity, with details for your community; currently we only display the latest official and user Instagram posts, plus reviews from Google and Facebook, this will be expanded in future, e.g. to include events and featured posts from official social media or private chat groups
- pledge transparency of your offer — pricing, community engagement and any booking/application review on your site; displaying at least indicative pricing publicly as opposed only upon request, potential customers need to see if you're in their budget; ensure you post updates if you should temporarily be unable to offer community facilitation or facilities become unavailable
- commit not to manipulate or suppress any social media posts and reviews; we recommend you have in-person remediation in place to avoid issues spilling onto the interwebs; posts on your profile page here shall comprise aggregated content from the public internet; only your space details may be edited by you
- let us know once you've added the marque and we'll update your listing to be hilighted
That's it! We trust that your claim of community stands the test of time.🤗
If you don't have a site yet, you can point your domain to your page here.
We do have some tips…
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 the first should be your best—not a random one from a review); and do encourage guests to leave reviews (but don't pester them)
- as a checkin location on Facebook (page with location address, not a personal profile) for user tagging on instagram, and for reviews
- to OpenStreetMap and Apple Maps
For the best experience on your site, show:
- your next availability đź‘Ť maybe indicating for how long (ideally using an automated integration such as our planned booking/property management system, else don't forget to keep it up to date)
- what kind of space and facilities you have for working (proper desks and chairs or dining tables?), and 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)
- what your number of rooms / capacity is, you'll probably also want to describe what types of rooms you have
- if you offer shared rooms; don't use 'double' for unrelated people sharing, versus a double-bed for single occupancy, or double occupancy (usually a couple but not always!); a room with two beds is often simply called a 'twin' room, two beds above each other are called bunk beds (both regardless of if shared), and more than two beds is called a 'dormitory' (or simply a shared room)
For the best community experience, use:
- a commonly accessible community chat tool (e.g. Telegram, Whatsapp, or even just an email list, maybe Slack…) 👍
- a physical place to share event ideas amongst guests (such as a blackboard on a wall) đź‘Ź
