How does a community go live?

A community page goes live once it has five approved listings. Until then, members can join and prepare their listings while the community builds toward launch.

Who runs a Haven Community?

Haven creates and provisions each community page, then local operators serve as community admins. Admins review membership requests, curate listings, and keep the page representative of the area.

Does it cost anything to join or run a community?

No. Haven Communities are free — there are no listing fees, membership fees, or commissions on bookings. Guests book directly with each operator on that operator’s own site.

How do I start a community for my area?

Request a new community from your Haven dashboard. Haven typically creates the page within 1–2 business days, and you can begin inviting operators in your region right away.

Do I give up my own brand or website by joining?

No. Your properties keep their own pages on your own site and domain. The community page links out to your site — it adds a discovery channel and search authority, it never replaces your brand.

One page that lifts every member.

A mini-OTA for your area, with no fees

Guests browse every member property on one regional page and book directly with each operator. No commissions, no middleman — the community exists to send bookings to its members.

Reciprocal backlinks that compound

Every member site links to the community page and the community page links back to every member domain. Each new member strengthens the whole network in search.

Curated by local admins

Haven provisions each community and hands day-to-day curation to trusted local operators, who review membership requests and keep listings high quality.

The right guest for each property

Guests compare stays across the region and find the property that actually fits their trip — members complement each other instead of bidding against each other for the same click.
