For Couples Home Exchange in Bulgaria

You list your home, earn 1 credit for every night you host a guest, and spend those credits to stay at any other home in the network — always 1 credit per night. No money changes hands between members. New accounts start with 10 free credits, so you can book your first trip before you've hosted anyone.

Every member goes through identity verification before they can list or book. All messages run through our encrypted chat. After each stay, guests and hosts leave mutual reviews — reputation is the foundation of the whole community, and members with low ratings lose access. For extra peace of mind, we recommend confirming house rules in writing before arrival.

No. SwappaHome uses a credit system, not direct 1-to-1 swaps. You can host a family from Berlin and use the credits you earn to stay with a completely different host in Tokyo six months later. It makes travel dates, destinations and group sizes much easier to match.

Yes — you can earn credits by hosting in a spare room, a long-term rental (if your lease allows guests) or by gifting/receiving credits from other members. You can also buy a starter pack if you want to travel before you host. Listing your primary home is the most common path, but it's not the only one.

Bulgaria blends affordability with intimacy. You'll find fewer tourists than neighbouring Greece or Croatia, meaning uncrowded UNESCO sites, empty hiking trails, and authentic interactions in family-run taverns. The country's thermal spa towns—like Velingrad and Hisarya—offer couples natural mineral baths in serene settings. Coastal towns such as Sozopol retain old-world charm with wooden houses and candlelit seafood dinners by the harbour. Inland, wine regions around Melnik invite leisurely tastings in centuries-old cellars. The pace is gentle, the scenery varied, and the sense of discovery shared.
