We’ve now hosted or stayed with Kindred for 31 nights. It’s a great system, every guest has been super respectful and even takes care of our cats. We do have to pay a cleaning fee to stay somewhere; but then we come home to a clean and spotless home. So it’s kinda like we paid for a house cleaning and got a free place to stay as a Passport member

after hosting kindred guests several times, I feel totally comfortable leaving my home and my animals with these people I have never met. There’s adequate but not excessive pre-trip communication and since their homes are also up for swapping, everyone has always been extremely respectful.

This is so lovely to hear, thank you! There's something really special about a community where everyone's opening up their own space too. It changes how people show up. So glad you've felt that every time!

Hassle free experience of hosting in kindred, and kindred support was great in quickly putting me in touch with a human support person when I requested for one, and the support person was great in their help too.

Getting to a real human quickly matters so much, especially when you need a hand. So glad the team came through for you and that hosting has felt hassle-free! Thank you for sharing this, Prashant :)

Kindred is a great way to travel. They review every host and guest’s ID and allows you to leave reviews so you feel comfortable with who is staying in your home.

Feeling comfortable about who's staying in your home is everything, so glad the verification and review side of things gives you that peace of mind. Thank you for taking the time to share this, Val!

Company is excellent at finding caring, thoughtful hosts to rent their spaces out around the world. This felt much more safe and community oriented compared to Airbnb.
