Connect Mapmelon with Mangobeds to Get More Coliving Bookings

3 min read

Connect Mapmelon with Mangobeds to automatically sync availability, rates and bookings, so your coliving stays full without double bookings or manual calendar work.


What is Mapmelon?

Mapmelon is a marketplace for coliving spaces, built for digital nomads and remote workers looking for a place to live, work and connect. It puts your coliving in front of a community of location-independent travellers who book by the week or the month, exactly the long-stay guests a coliving wants to fill its rooms.

If you run a coliving, coworking space or long-stay house, listing on Mapmelon gets you discovered by that audience. Connecting Mapmelon to Mangobeds then makes sure every one of those bookings lands in your PMS automatically, with no calendars to juggle.

Why connect Mapmelon with Mangobeds?

When your rooms live on several platforms at once, Mangobeds, Mapmelon, Airbnb, Booking.com, keeping everything in sync by hand becomes a daily chore, and mistakes cost you money:

  • Double bookings, when a guest books on Mapmelon while someone else books the same room on another channel.
  • Manual calendar work, updating availability and prices on each platform every day.
  • Lost revenue, from blocking dates just in case instead of confidently selling every available night.

How the Mapmelon integration works

The Mapmelon integration is a full two-way connection, not a basic calendar link. You map your rooms once, and from then on everything stays in sync automatically:

  • Availability updates automatically. A booking on any channel blocks those dates on Mapmelon, so you never oversell.
  • Rates flow from your Mangobeds pricing, including seasonal rates, so you set prices in one place.
  • Bookings made on Mapmelon appear in Mangobeds in real time as proper reservations with guest details. New bookings, changes and cancellations are all handled for you.

Step by step: connect Mapmelon to Mangobeds

  1. Make sure your coliving is listed on Mapmelon and you can manage it as a host.
  2. In Mapmelon, open your coliving’s Manage page and generate your Mangobeds channel API key. Copy it.
  3. In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to Apps > Mapmelon.
  4. Paste your Mapmelon API key to connect the two accounts.
  5. Map each Mapmelon room type to the matching Mangobeds accommodation.
  6. That is it. Availability, rates and bookings now sync automatically between Mapmelon and Mangobeds.

Tips for filling your coliving

Being connected is half the battle. A few things help your space stand out to Mapmelon’s community:

  • Show your Wi-Fi speed. Remote workers care about this more than almost anything, so make sure it is front and centre.
  • Offer weekly and monthly rates. Use Mangobeds long-stay pricing to reward the multi-week stays these guests book.
  • Highlight the workspace. Dedicated desks, quiet zones, meeting rooms and reliable power are real selling points for remote workers.
  • Promote the community. Guests choose a coliving for the people as much as the place. Mention shared dinners, skill-shares and trips.

Mapmelon is one of several places digital nomads look for a place to stay. See our guide to the top platforms to list your property and attract digital nomads and remote workers, and if you run a surf house, see how to connect Coworksurf with Mangobeds too.
