This is a very easy-to-use, trustworthy app. Obviously, all due diligence is needed with any house exchange, but that's just common sense. I did a completely successful flat swap and best of all, the... See more

Company details

  1. Holiday Accommodation Service

Written by the company

Here’s an expanded version of just over 200 words: Swaphouse is a free home-swapping community for remote workers, flexible travellers, digital nomads, families, and anyone looking for a more affordable and authentic way to explore the world. Instead of paying for hotels or holiday rentals, members can exchange homes and enjoy comfortable stays while significantly reducing accommodation costs. Home swapping also offers a more personal way to travel, giving members the opportunity to experience destinations from a local perspective and stay in real homes and neighbourhoods. Swaphouse uses a match-based, double opt-in system. Members can browse available homes, like the places they would be interested in swapping with, and only start chatting when the interest is mutual. This helps members connect with compatible home swappers while avoiding unwanted or irrelevant requests. Every home listed on Swaphouse must include reliable Wi-Fi and a suitable workspace. This makes the platform especially convenient for remote workers, longer stays, workations, and travellers who want to remain productive while abroad. The Swaphouse community includes thousands of homes across more than 90 countries, offering opportunities for city breaks, beach stays, countryside escapes, longer international trips, and everything in between. Swaphouse has no required membership fees, subscriptions, guest points, or platform fees. Members arrange direct swaps with one another and remain in control of when, where, and with whom they exchange homes.

Great free swap community

I did one swap already on this page already and it went really well. It is free and you can arrange your swap flexible. I also like the idea with the swiping, the design and I didn't find any bugs on the page. Can highly recommend it!

My first and not my last experience with Swaphouse!

This was my first experience with Swap house and I was totally impressed and delighted with the experience! From the on start of communicating with the owners and exchanging information the process was seamless and so well thought through.

It was wonderful to be able to stay in a home at the end of the day and by saving on accommodation we were able to do so many activities in Amsterdam when there.

It was also good to know that each of us was taking care of our properties and also both respected that there were personal belongings in the property whilst also leaving the property in the same state as you found it.

I will definitely be using the site again and am recommending it to friends too!

Thank you!

An Excellent Platform for a Hodophile & Sustainable Traveler(s)

As a hodophile my life is richer & fuller thanks 🙏 to Swaphouse. Not only it's a free, super easy, and fun platform to use for apt swapping (both on the web and in an app)- makes Tinder look silly as swiping for apt matches it's way more rewarding - but also the founders are plain awesome professionals as well as great human beings always prompt and ready to help. Also , they're doing their best and constantly looking for ways to improve users experience and also build a community of travelers that roam and explore the world in a super sustainable way, all while helping people connect with each other and forge great new friendships!

I already completed an over two weeks super fun and successful apt swap in Vienna, Austria (my host came to my apt in Saranda, Albania) and everything went superbly well.

I'm extremely happy and I look forward to more apt swaps and can't recommend enough Swaphouse to anyone and everyone who has an itch for traveling/nomading, basically being home at someone's else home while offering your own home too. In a nutshell, the place to be and connect with like-minded humans.

Unique way to travel and explore the world

My girlfriend and I recently completed our first experience with Swaphouse, and we’ve fallen in love with the concept of house swapping. At first, probably like most others, we had some skepticism (taking precautions is key). However, by following the platform’s recommended steps—setting up video calls, meeting our swappers in person over dinner, and maintaining communication prior - we had absolutely 0 (read: nada) doubts.

The exchange turned out to be an amazing experience. It allowed us to live like locals, seeing the city from a totally different perspective than we would as traditional tourists.

And it saved us quite some money. Actually so much that it makes me feel bad for all the times we paid for the accommodation. I am sure AirBnB and Booking will be discussing this trend in the future somewhere on their roadmaps and how to fight/embrace it :)

Just try it. I am sure you will remember that experience!
