Great app
Great app! I've hosted a few times now and will be using my credits a lot this summer. I love being able to interact with guests before booking and highly recommend this app. Oh also love the cleaner feature!

Highly Recommend
I’ve used kindred for 3 years now, hosted many people in my home and stayed at others. Kindred has the best costumer service I have EVER dealt with. Highly recommend this app every time.

Cool but not sure it's worth it, cleaners are bad
The idea is cool but not always worth it, especially as you rent your home, are compensated in credits but then still need to pay to travel elsewhere. Yes, it more affordable travel but it's still a cost that doesn't seem very fair if you're renting your home out but still pay to travel. Our biggest complaint: When we hosted the Kindred cleaners did a bad job, which was disappointing to come home to your place not professionally cleaned properly (toothpaste stains, dust, table not wiped, floors not mopped as promised). They did very little about it and I've lost trust in them. I also wish they sent new privacy stickers with each rental, it's the little things that matter. They do have good customer service and are reactive. It still has some things to work out.

Kindred review
Kindred has been a cool experience with home swapping. It’s often much more affordable to go to popular destinations like New York City compared to Airbnb. The guests that I’ve hosted have all been respectful and you get your home professionally cleaned before and after too!
