Great experience so far as a host. Respectful guests, quick communication with support, quick cleaning reimbursement. Feel at ease with the families that stayed at our home.

I’ve had such a great experience with Kindred so far! I love the concept as it makes travelling feel much more personal and allows you to stay in beautiful, real homes while connecting with a lovely community of people. I’ve had the opportunity to host several members in my home, and every experience has been really positive. The guests have been respectful, friendly and have genuinely treated my home as if it were their own. I’ve also loved the little thoughtful touches some guests have left behind. The app is easy to use, and I really appreciate the sense of trust and community behind the whole concept. It’s such a refreshing way to travel, and I’m looking forward to experiencing Kindred as a guest myself too!

The concierge service is impressive. Helps stay on-top of things

I've had a wonderful experience hosting traveling with kindred for over 2years. The process is easy, platform is user-friendly, and Support is wonderful.

Kindred connected us with a beautiful home in Italy, it was very affordable, very easy, all while also feeling very safe. 10/10

We had our best holidays with them. We hosted guests on our home at the sand time. A month of holidays. It was truly amazing!

Sono ormai anni che io e la mia famiglia viaggiamo con kindred e abbiamo costruito delle esperienze, dei ricordi e delle connessioni indimenticabili! Il servizio è attento e disponibile, ma la vera forza è la rete di host davvero incredibile!

I genuinely like the idea behind Kindred and the trust-based model of opening your home to other members. Unfortunately, my experience with the damage-claim process after hosting has made me much more hesitant to host again. After several stays, I reported a number of damaged or missing items and provided photographs, links to replacement products, and repair information. Some items were approved for reimbursement, which I appreciate. However, the overall process was extremely time-consuming and required repeated explanations and additional documentation. For several household items, reimbursement was capped below the price of the same replacement products I had identified. For damage to the walls, Kindred offered only a partial contribution toward the repair quote, while other items required further professional assessments before they would consider coverage. My main concern is therefore not simply the amount reimbursed, but the amount of time and energy required from a host when something goes wrong. When you open your private home to others through a platform built around trust, you need to feel confident that documented damage can be resolved efficiently, predictably and fairly. Kindred’s support team did eventually respond clearly and confirmed which decisions were final, and I appreciate that they approved reimbursement for several items. But the experience has significantly reduced my confidence in hosting. If a similar situation happened again and required the same level of effort to resolve, I would not be willing to go through the process another time. I hope Kindred considers this constructive feedback. The concept of the platform is excellent, but for hosts to feel comfortable continuing to participate, trust, efficiency and reliability need to be just as strong when problems arise as they are when arranging the stay itself.
