Frequently asked questions

How does home exchange on SwappaHome work?

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 7 free credits — one full week — so you can book your first trip before you've hosted anyone.

Is it safe to swap homes with strangers?

Every member goes through identity verification before they can list or book. All conversations happen inside the SwappaHome platform — you never have to share your personal email or phone number to coordinate a swap. 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.

Do I need to swap directly with the same person?

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.

Can I join if I don't own a home?

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.

How many homes are available for exchange in Germany?

Right now there are 5 verified homes available for exchange in Germany. The list you see on this page is pulled live, so it stays in sync as new members join the community.

What kind of homes can I expect to find in Germany?

The current Germany catalog includes apartments. You can filter by property type, number of bedrooms and amenities directly on the listings page — and because this information comes straight from the database, it reflects what's actually available today, not a generic description.

What's the digital nomad infrastructure actually like in Germany?

Germany offers some of Europe's most reliable remote work conditions: fibre internet is standard in cities, coworking spaces are everywhere from Berlin's Factory to Munich's Design Offices, and mobile data is affordable with no throttling. Most cafés welcome laptop workers, though Germans value table turnover less than Southern Europe—you can settle in. Banking and bureaucracy are straightforward for short stays, and English works in professional contexts. Train punctuality makes weekend trips frictionless. The trade-off: slower Sunday openings and a cultural preference for structured hours over spontaneous hustle.
