Frequently Asked Questions

ColivingIndex is a comprehensive AI-enabled review aggregator for coliving spaces and apartments worldwide. We help users compare properties by collecting and presenting reviews from multiple sources, including Google, Trustpilot, and our own community reviews.

The CI Score (ColivingIndex Score) is our proprietary rating system that measures the quality of coliving brands and properties on a scale of 0-100. It's calculated using a weighted formula that considers both the average rating (quality rating) and the total number of reviews (popularity). A higher CI Score indicates a more reputable and well-reviewed brand or property.

We aggregate reviews from multiple trusted sources including Google Reviews, Trustpilot, and our own ColivingIndex community reviews. This gives you a comprehensive view of each property's reputation across different platforms.

Yes! If you've stayed at a coliving property listed on our platform, you can submit your own review. Simply create an account, find the property you stayed at, and share your experience by rating various aspects like cleanliness, location, staff, facilities, and more.

Creating an account is easy. Click the 'Sign In' button in the navigation bar and use your Replit account to log in. Once authenticated, you'll be able to submit reviews, save favorite properties, and access member-only features.

Our review system allows you to rate properties on 8 different aspects: Service, Staff, Cleanliness, Location, Value for Money, Facilities, WiFi, and Community. Each aspect can be rated on a 5-star scale, giving future guests a detailed picture of what to expect.

Brands are the coliving companies or operators (like Common, Outsite, or The Collective), while Properties are the individual locations operated by those brands. A single brand may have multiple properties in different cities around the world.

Our platform regularly updates review data from external sources to ensure you have access to the most current information. Community reviews appear immediately after submission and moderation.
