Connect Coworksurf with Mangobeds to automatically sync availability, rates and bookings, so your surf house stays full without double bookings or manual calendar work.
What is Coworksurf?
Coworksurf is a booking marketplace for surf stays at the world’s best breaks. Founded in 2016 and bootstrapped by a community of nomads, it connects around 3,500 remote workers and surfers with work-ready houses across more than 20 countries, from Portugal and Spain to Morocco, Mexico, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Costa Rica.
Coworksurf guests are exactly the kind of long-stay guest a surf house wants: people who book by the week or the month to work, live and surf in the same place. If you run a surf house, surf camp or coworking coliving space near the waves, listing on Coworksurf puts you in front of that audience.
Why connect Coworksurf with Mangobeds?
When your surf stays live on several platforms at once, Mangobeds, Coworksurf, 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 Coworksurf 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 Coworksurf integration works
The Coworksurf 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 Coworksurf, so you never oversell.
- Rates flow from your Mangobeds pricing, including seasonal rates, so you set prices in one place.
- Bookings made on Coworksurf 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 Coworksurf to Mangobeds
- Make sure your surf house is listed on Coworksurf and you have your host login (email and password).
- In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to Apps > Coworksurf.
- Enter your Coworksurf login to connect the two accounts.
- Map each Coworksurf room type to the matching Mangobeds accommodation.
- That is it. Availability, rates and bookings now sync automatically between Coworksurf and Mangobeds.
Tips for filling your surf house
Being connected is half the battle. A few things help surf stays stand out to Coworksurf’s community:
- Show your Wi-Fi speed. Remote workers care about this more than almost anything, and Coworksurf expects a solid connection.
- Offer weekly and monthly rates. Use Mangobeds long-stay pricing to reward the multi-week stays these guests book.
- Highlight the surf and the workspace. Proximity to the break, board storage, dedicated desks and quiet zones are real selling points.
- Promote the community. Guests choose a surf house for the people and the sessions as much as the place. Mention shared dinners, skill-shares and surf trips.
