I can sort of step into another mom’s shoes and let my daughter step into the lives of the children who usually live there

Traveling with kids is intense. The unknown of hotel rooms and other rental properties can make it even harder because I know routines will get upended and my daughter will cling to me more the less of a kid-friendly environment there is for her. I have been so grateful to see and being able to stay in Kindred homes where it feels like I can sort of step into another mom’s shoes and let my daughter step into the lives of the children who usually live there. My daughter has loved having a new set of toys and a special bed, and I have actually been able to relax and enjoy our destination more.

Kindred for families means a significant reduction in mental load when preparing for vacations. It’s priceless.

Our trip to Barcelona in Vita’s apartment was incredible. In addition to staying in one of the (without a doubt) trendiest apartments in the city, there was everything we needed for our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter: tons of toys, books, child dishes, bikes… Thanks to Kindred, there’s no need to leave with a dozen suitcases.

Questions? We’re here to help

Can I use Kindred if I am a renter, not a homeowner?

Absolutely! Because there is no cash exchange between members, using Kindred is not the same as listing your home on a short-term rental website. It’s more similar to letting a friend stay in your home while you’re away. If in doubt, we recommend checking your rental contract or asking your landlord.

Is there a membership commitment?

There are no minimum hosting requirements or membership fees. Whether, when, and with whom you swap with is entirely up to you! All new members can book up to 5 nights when they join, so you can apply and try the platform first before making a decision.

Can I buy credits?

No, you can’t buy credits on Kindred. Kindred is strictly “give-to-get”. This makes sure everyone on the platform is contributing equally and keeps our sharing economy running. You can earn credits by hosting and or by referring other members.

Is hosting the only way to earn credits?

There are two main ways to earn credits on Kindred: hosting and referring. For every night you host, you earn one credit. Members can also earn credits by referring friends. Credits are issued once your friend uploads photos and their home is verified. If you’re light on credits, you can also arrange a 1:1 swap with the member at the same time, so that neither of you need to use any credits (they cancel out!).

How does pricing work? Is it free to host?

When you book a trip, you only pay a cleaning and service fee per trip. The cleaning fee covers the cost of cleaning your host’s home before and after your trip, while the service fee covers trip support, travel protection, and arranging all the logistics that go into making a Kindred trip possible. Hosting on Kindred is completely free and seamless. We’ll coordinate all cleanings and handle all end-to-end logistics of the trip.
