HomeExchange

Home exchange offers a smart way to make the most of your home’s value, allowing you to swap houses with others and enjoy amazing vacations in different cities and countries. Participants are very respectful and well-traveled people. The platform is easy to use and makes communication with other families smooth from the very beginning to the end of the exchange. And even afterward, if friendships grow from these wonderful experiences, arranging future exchanges remains simple through the site. I highly recommend this platform to any family looking to explore the world and connect with other families in an authentic and enriching way.

Good and Bad. I am a member for about 10 years and I did about 140 exchanges. Through the site, I knew excellent members who became my regular exchange partners. I visited many cities: NYC, LA, Sydney, London, the lake district, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Paris, Mont Saint-Michel, Tokyo, Kyoto, Barcelona, Basque Country, Budapest, Florence, Venice, Rome, Barolo, Milan, Vancouver, Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden etc. One reciprocal but not simultaneous exchange couple who stayed in my apartment for one week disappeared after their stay and I could not stay in their house. As the exchange partner changed their mobile number and email address, the support team could not help me to cover my missed stay. We had no compensation or additional support by Home Exchange. I had some serious house structure damages by Home Exchange guests. All damage cases, I had to close my second houses for one-two months to repair the damage. The last damage was made during my 2 weeks exchange abroad and I had to go back home immediately. The damage coverage is only for the damage and does not cover consequence costs (my going back flight, following reservation cancellations, my extra stay in hotels etc). For the damage refund requests, it is necessary to send to Home Exchange pictures or video of the damaged item / parts before and after guests' stay. I was wondering who take pictures of every detail of the own house every time he welcomes new guests.

We had a glorious time over Christmas with my daughter and husband in Roros Norway. It was like a winter wonderland. Our host Berit was exceptionally helpful organising everything that we might need and more for the snow, ice, sauna, ice bathing etc. While there we took care of their cat, who was adorable. At the same time we had a family from Palma Mallorca staying in our apartment in the very heart of Madrid to see the spectacular Christmas lights and NYE fireworks. They also took care of our old little dog Miguel, he was very happy as their young daughter loved caring for him. Home exchange is a brilliant platform that allows you to explore places that would be under normal circumstances unaffordable and nowhere near as comfortable as staring in a home. We love home exchange and find the process of communication, booking etc very easy to manage. Highly recommend!

Home Exchange has opened up the world for my family and I. We have the means to travel in a way we never expected we could. Since my kids were babies we have been taking advantage of this amazing community to the fullest. Not to mention hosting others, making their vacation dreams come me true!

We have been members of Home Exchange for several years now and enjoyed over 20 swaps. We love the adventure that it allows, especially on a budget, and have found all members to be like minded and so respectful of our home.

It has changed our life. We love travelling! The opportunities we are experiencing after we discovered Home Exchange. Omg! We can't explain ❤️❤️

I have been with Home Exchange since 2015, and done 35 Exchanges. It's a fantastic way of going on holiday, saving money on accommodation around the World. We first started doing exchanges when our son moved to Vancouver. There were no hotels near him and the ones in central Vancouver were very expensive. We have even made good friends with some of our exchangers. We often use guest points when we don't want to do a reciprocatal exchange, giving you much more flexibility. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Home Exchange has been a very good company. It has greatly enhanced my travel opportunities since I've become a member. I take many trips a year now which I wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. Additionally, I've enjoyed other members' homes and have welcomed members to enjoy my home when I'm not there. I have been particularly impressed by the efforts and abilities of the staff to engage and to make things right if something goes wrong. That's seldom necessary but it's good to know they've got your back.
