Highly recommended. Good concept and terrific execution.

Early on in this experiment, but have had all positive interactions both as a host and as a guest. Cool way to broaden our travel base, looking forward to continued use.

Kindred has been amazing to deal with as an assistance to hosting guests in our home. when we had an emergency arise for our guests, they responded promptly and supportively to get our guests settled and to assist us with solving the problem. I would highly recommend them as a company for anyonev considering joining the kindred community!

I’ve been using Kindred since last year and it has honestly changed the way I travel. I’ve done longer swaps, but also hosted people while staying elsewhere, which allowed me to accumulate credits quite quickly. The concierge and cleaning services have both been excellent, and overall the experience has been seamless. Even when a guest accidentally broke something in my flat, Kindred handled it immediately and refunded me without any hassle. What I love most is the feeling of staying in real homes and hosting others in mine. Every guest I’ve had has been lovely, often leaving kind notes or small gifts. I really hope they maintain this level of quality, as so far I’ve been extremely happy with the experience.

Thanks again for such a great stay! I really enjoyed my time at your place — it was super comfortable and had everything I needed. Really appreciated the little details and how smooth everything was from start to finish. Would definitely love to stay here again next time I’m in town 😊 Thanks again!

Simple, straight forward with no surprises. We have used Kindred half a dozen times now with several more planned.

The reviews here could not be more diverse but certainly our experience so far has been very positive. We joined last year as away for 3 weeks and immediately had 3 groups book stays. Two were great, all went smoothly, left flowers and wine and lots of thanks. The third group I don’t think were bad people but they did have a lot of booze delivered and sadly we ended up with a red wine stain on our cream lounge carpet. Kindred Support were amazing, I could not fault them. Immediate response every time, always empathetic and polite. Requested carpet cleaning first that sadly did not remove it, so they agreed to covering the full cost of replacement and it was a big room. We got the work done and full funds through straight away. As a result of how this was handled it’s given us huge confidence to host again. I note quite a few negative comments re cleaners here and we used our own, so I can’t comment on that, other than we were refunded £195 promptly after each clean (it’s a big house so I think this is the max) We have not stayed anywhere yet but we have 16 credits so plan to this year, so can’t comment on that yet. I have had a couple of hosts not reply to enquiries which is a shame but again Kindred Conceirge has been supportive. There are also quite a lot of second home / rental properties on the site and I think it would be preferable if it was people’s genuine homes only, but it’s easy enough to tell the difference. Overall I’ve been very impressed.

The best way to travel. So much cheaper and authentic than Airbnb.
