Your host onboarding checklist

Use this checklist when you set up Coliving.com — and again before each new listing goes live. Going through it in order saves rework.

Account & verification

• Sign up and confirm email
• Verify phone number
• Upload ID and complete identity check
• Add business documents (if hosting as a company)
• Connect a payout method in Wallet
• Use a strong, unique password

Your team (optional)

• Invite team members in Team
• Assign roles (Listing manager / Booking manager / Finance manager)
• Stop sharing login credentials

Your first listing

• Decide whether to list one large coliving or one listing per building
• Add basic details (name, address, type)
• Photograph every bookable room and common space (see Photos that convert)
• Write descriptions for the listing and each room
• Set house rules and stay policies
• Set base pricing per room
• Set availability and minimum/maximum stay
• Configure cancellation policy
• Upload check-in instructions
• Set up an FAQ

Pre-publish review

• Open the Listing Quality Score panel and address red/yellow items
• Click Request approval — will appear once you reach at least 50% Listing Quality Score(LQS)
• Wait for Coliving review (usually 1–2 business days)

Once you're live

• Enable push notifications on your phone (so you don't miss request alerts)
• Add noreply@coliving.com to your email contacts
• Set your typical response time expectation (aim for under 4 hours)
• Read How booking requests work

Within the first month

• Respond to your first 5 requests within an hour each
• Ask early residents for feedback you can use to improve the listing
• Review your conversion rate (views → requests → bookings) and adjust pricing or photos
