    How it works

    • Apply and get verified

      You must verify that you have an eligible home in order to qualify. Once verified, new members can try Kindred and book up to 5 nights before they host.

    • Book available homes

      Spend your 5 nights at any one of 100k+ member homes worldwide. Only pay a cleaning and service fee per trip.

    • Host to earn travel credits

      Host vetted members while you’re away and earn 1 night of travel each night you host. You approve who stays and we take care of all logistics.

    Swap and stay for a fraction of the cost

    Travel can be expensive but Kindred helps you save on accommodations so you can spend more on the fun stuff. Just pay for cleaning and a service fee per trip — no need to break the bank piling into a tiny hotel room.
