How HouseSwapp works

HouseSwapp is member-to-member home exchange. You offer a real place, find someone whose home and dates fit, agree in chat, then swap keys — not nightly rent.

Frequently asked questions

What is a home swap on HouseSwapp?

You and another member exchange homes for agreed dates. Instead of paying nightly rent, each of you stays in the other’s place.

Is HouseSwapp an Airbnb alternative?

Yes — when you want reciprocal travel instead of booking a rental. There is no nightly rate; you match with members who also offer a real home.

How do I start?

Create an account, list your home with photos and availability, then browse the map or Discover to find matches and send a swap request.

Do I need identity verification?

Verified identity helps other members trust you. Some hosts require screened guests before accepting a swap.

What is swap protection?

Optional protection/insurance can be added after a request is accepted, so both sides travel with clearer coverage before keys are exchanged.

What is a 3-way loop?

When a direct swap is not available, HouseSwapp can suggest a loop of three members so everyone still gets a trip.

How much does it cost?

Joining and browsing is free. You do not pay nightly rent for the stay itself. Optional protection is charged only if you choose it.

Who agrees the dates?

You and your match confirm dates in chat. Always double-check capacity, house rules and timing before you accept.

Can I swap offices or studios?

Yes — members list houses, apartments, studios, rooms, holiday homes and workspaces for exchange.

What if something goes wrong?

Use chat to resolve details first. Protected swaps and our support/dispute tools help when issues need escalation.
