Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to swap with the same person?
No! Our credit system means you can host someone from Paris and use your credits to stay in Tokyo. No direct swaps required.
What if I don't have a home to list?
You can purchase credits to book stays, but the best value comes from listing your home and earning credits by hosting.
Is my home insured during stays?
We recommend hosts have their own home insurance. We also provide guidance on what to expect and how to protect your space.
Can I decline booking requests?
Absolutely. You have full control over who stays at your home. Review profiles and message potential guests before accepting.
What happens if something goes wrong?
Our support team is here to help. We also have a review system to ensure accountability and maintain community standards.
