What Do You Mean by 'Free Sale'?

What Wi-Fi Speed Is Needed?

What Wi-Fi speed is needed? Business grade internet is highly desirable. With the expansion of 4G & 5G cell tower networks and low earth satellites its quite feasible for much of the world now to get 50+ Mbps internet speeds. It can be hard to conduct video conferencing with internet speeds less than 5MBps up and down so we generally talk about minimum requirements of: - 10 Mbps download speed minimum, and - 5 Mbps upload speed minimum This is for all guests.

1 Month to Complete Your Listing

1 Month to Complete Your Listing Following your Stay being approved for listing you will have 1 month to complete your listing. Most experienced Stay Operators take only 30 minutes to upload their information, so you have lots of time to find missing information. Once the minimum amount of information is uploaded, we will review and turn your listing live. Not all information is critical initially to get a live listing. New Stays in particular don't have all their necessary permits at th...

What is a 'Room'?

What is a 'Room'? The term 'room' is the standard travel industry term for the rented area a guest has exclusive rights to. It comes from the hotel industry which supplies about 90% of the worlds short term accommodation, usually in the form of a single physical, lockable, space. A travel industry 'room' includes whole apartments, houses, villas, boats, caravans, vans etc. each of which may consist of multiple bedrooms, living rooms and other types of physical spaces. A 'room' also is u...

Transaction Reporting Requirements to Governments

Transaction Reporting Requirements to Governments Many governments around the world now require all accommodation to be reporting to their tax authorities. We expect most OECD countries in the world to adopt these requirements soon. The OECD has recommended all its members adopt new reporting laws for digital platform operators, effectively requiring all accommodation bookings (and other digital transactions) to be reported to local tax Authorities in the countries that the Stay is locate...

Is My Large Apartment or House a Coliving Space?

Is my Large Apartment or House a Coliving Space? Let's look at Coliving Spaces a bit. Coliving spaces have developed in recent years to become something like upmarket hostels or private long-stay guesthouses. Whilst bathrooms and kitchens might be shared amongst the coliving members these spaces are managed as a professional, cooperative living location. To be listed as a Coliving Space you'll need a few attributes. - Officially registered business with necessary short stay touri...

When Should I List a Package?

When should I list a package? You should list a new package as soon as you have it ready for taking bookings. The earlier the better as many of our members book 6 months ahead of time. With Nomad Stays you can set the opening date of a package to a date in the future. Leaving a package's visibility until the last minute when it opens severely restricts your ability to attract pre-bookings.

Can I List a One-off Event for Sale?

Can I list a one-off event for sale? Not at this time. Our platform is primarily an accommodation booking platform designed for digital nomads that travel virtually full-time. Our members are seeing extended stays around the world throughout most of the year. Meetups and one-off events are best promoted through our partner, Wozin (https://www.nomadstays.com/partners) whose events are listed on a range of Nomad Stays pages. You are also open to promoting it on The Nomad Marketplace https://...

This Checklist outlines the information you'll need to prepare for onboarding your first Stay. Different countries don't all have the same requirements so some things may not apply to you. Corporate Information Registered Name of the Operator of the Stay Official Representative Name & Address Date and Place of Bi...

Do you Accept Apartments?

Do you accept apartments? Yes. Official short stay apartments rentals and apartment-hotels are a mainstream part of many tourism destinations which we cater for. Bookings longer than 3 months are not expected to be part of our services so long stay residential-style apartment rentals are not part of our service.

Do You Accept Home Stays?

Do You Accept Home Stays? Some. - Home Stays where the host shares the rental space with guests are NOT eligible to list on Nomad Stays. - Independent homestays, rental apartments, villas, cabins etc. without the host staying on site ARE eligible to list on Nomad Stays. Some countries use the term 'homestay' as a general term for all rental apartments, villas, cabins etc. If the host lives separately from guests, then it's likely this form of Homestay can be listed on Nomad Stays...

Can I List My Stay if I also Live at the Property?

Can I List My Stay if I also Live at the Property? Possibly. It's quite normal for owners to live onsite at premises such as guest houses, farm stays, BnBs and hostels etc. Nomad Stays adopts the same mainstream standards as are applied by many governments around the world for hostels. Owners or managers that live onsite need to have their own completely separate area independent of guest areas. i.e. - Separate bedrooms - Separate entrance - Separate indoor and outdoor living areas - Separa...

I Don't Usually Get Bookings for a Month. What Prices Do I Set?

Must I have a coworking space?

Must I Have a Coworking Space? Each Stay needs somewhere digital nomads can work on their computers. These working areas will need facilities like desks, chairs, wi-fi and power. If you don't have this at your own Stay you will need to be near a Coworking Space where the nomads can work from. Ideally, within a 30-minute walking period. This is important as our members are fundamentally entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote workers. They earn their money by working online regularly. Sitting i...

Can I set maximum package lengths?

Can I set a maximum length of a package? Example, 14 days maximum booking. Not at this stage. Currently our nomad members are able to add extra days from their base package. A member that books one of your 14 day packages can add extra days, using the same per-day rate, to increase their booking length. If your room isn't available due to other bookings, or availability restrictions, then these extra days will be prevented from being added into a new booking. But right now we don'...

Can I restrict packages to start on a fixed day of the week?

Can I restrict packages to start on a fixed day of the week? Example, when you only take bookings from Saturday to Saturday only. Sorry, no. This fixed-day technique is sometimes used in domestic leisure markets, during peak tourist seasons, but not something you find in most business traveler booking engines. Digital nomads are much more like business travelers than leisure tourists. Digital nomads need much greater flexibility in dates usually. Saturdays and Sundays for in...

Closing or Suspending Your Stay Listing

You can turn off your Stay or Experience listing for a period or for good by removing your availability or packages.
