I'm building a place to compare coliving spaces worldwide. Where do you go for trustworthy reviews?

Hi everyone 👋

I'm Daniel, founder of findyourcoliving.com, a platform that helps remote workers discover and compare coliving spaces around the world. You can filter by city, price, and amenities to find a place that actually fits how you want to live and work.

One thing I keep coming back to is that the hardest part of choosing a coliving isn't finding options. It's trusting them. And in my experience, nothing beats an honest review from a fellow digital nomad who has actually stayed there.

👉 So I'd love to hear from this community. Where do you go for trustworthy coliving reviews? Any platforms, groups, or people you rely on?

I'm keen to make these real experiences easier to find for everyone, so any pointers would be hugely appreciated. 🙏

Happy to answer questions about the platform too, and feedback is always welcome.

This makes you the *third* Daniel with a coliving directory/marketplace, including another that's AI generated (but yours I'm afraid looks to have sourced incomplete data), to say nothing of all the others…

I can say with experience just having attended the coliving gathering that operators are fed up with adding and maintaining listings. Destinational is a tiny segment so low growth, and whilst residential is huge plus expanding rapidly, it is low churn so requires significant reach, but is already rather well covered by one of the other Daniels who's been at it quite a long time.🙈

It may be something close to your heart, but worth checking if there's actual potential and possibility to displace/claim or create adequate new growth before you invest further effort/tokens. There are actually coliving niches that are not covered but a niche within small segment is uh not a good addressable market, so must be close to your heart that you're willing to basically maintain it for free. There are opportunities but again it's a question of growing the segment, thus a small catch until.

Ah, you might want to check out coliving.community is not specifically for digital nomad use as includes some hybrid spaces that offer shorter stays though can be excluded, nonetheless your dataset also seems to expand quite a bit wider beyond the typical DN expectation of what a coliving might be.

Its core data is in fact public, and you can incorporate into yours (CC-BY licence) — indeed one of the other Daniel's did for their AI directory (though is tiny as arguably overly specific about DN use).

This is the best way to get a look at different places.

Hi Daniel, it's a real need, for sure. I largely rely on word of mouth and curate a shortlist of recommended stays for my MidlifeNomads.com audience. I see some others requesting features for older nomads and would love to see that, too! Maybe a few relevant filters around accessibility, intentional marketing to nomads 40+, cohort stays (so it's clear whether you're with the same people the full time or people are in and out constantly), avg resident age over the last 12 months? Just ideas.
