Kindred Home Swapping

Kindred Concepts

About this app

Kindred is a members-only home swapping network that harnesses the power of a trusted community to unlock a lifestyle rich with travel and human connection. By exchanging homes and apartments with peers, both renters and owners alike can access the opportunity to travel between homes across North America and Europe.

HOW IT WORKS
Using Kindred is simple: you give a night to get a night. Members can swap homes 1-for-1, or book stays with credits earned by hosting others. For each night you host a member, you receive a credit to book a stay of your own at any Kindred home.

Once booked, your Kindred concierge takes care of all of logistics to make hosting and staying a breeze - from professional cleaning, to providing access to our members-only hosting essentials marketplace - so you can focus on enjoying your trip.

Ratings and reviews

The verification is a disaster. You end up just staring at a picture of yourself while it spins forever. No errors. No messages. Just your live face in a little circle for all eternity. If they can't even get signing up users right, which is something developers have been doing for 20 years I'm not sure how I can trust this with my house.

Really frustrating but to have conversations frozen mid arrangement. Still waiting for support to wake up and enable the conversation again, meanwhile a guest is waiting for me to respond and wondering why I haven't yet. Please get rid of this stupid feature.

Honestly, HomeExchange is just better, especially if you're a collection member. I don't think it's reasonable to pay ¢40 per night just for the app (especially since they removed the cosmetic kits) + abnormal cleaning fees, which are 30-50% higher than they should be. Flexibility is also questionable, quite hard to organize late/early check-ins/outs. Quality of homes is now pretty similar to HE, so I don't see any benefits of using Kindred anymore comparing to HE.
