Getting Your Coliving Set Up on Mapmelon: A Step-by-Step Guide

Head to the Add Your Coliving page and fill out the required information about your property.

What to include:

• Name of your coliving space
• Location details
• Description and amenities
• High-quality images

After submission:

Once we receive your request, we'll send you a confirmation email. We believe in building a strong community, so we prefer to review and onboard each coliving space personally.

After your coliving space is added, you'll gain access to our Backoffice, where you can manage your property details.

Key features in the Backoffice:

• Add accommodations: Define the rooms or units available in your coliving space.
• Sync availability: Avoid double bookings by syncing your calendar. Learn more in our All About iCal article.

Ensure your property appears correctly on the map by updating your location information in the Backoffice.

How to update your location:

1. Navigate to Location: go to your coliving's dashboard and click on Property > Location.
2. Update your location: edit your current location (e.g., city, country) and click Save to apply the changes.

This will adjust your listing's position on the map and may also influence the reviews displayed. When you set or update your location, choose your Google Maps pin to place your coliving correctly on the map and enable importing your Google reviews automatically.

To attract colivers, you'll need to add accommodations to your listing.

How to add accommodations:

1. Navigate to Accommodations: go to your coliving's dashboard and click on Property > Accommodations.
2. Create new accommodation: click on New Accommodation, fill in details like room type, description, amenities, and pricing, and upload high-quality images.

Keep your calendar up-to-date to prevent double bookings. Follow our guide on All About iCal and How to Set Up iCal Syncing.

About payments

How Mapmelon handles deposits and fees

At the time of booking, Mapmelon collects a booking fee equal to 10% of the total booking amount (the “Mapmelon Fee”). This amount serves as the booking deposit and is retained by Mapmelon. The remaining balance of the booking is collected directly by the supplier, either before arrival or upon arrival.
