We recently joined and all of the families that we have met are lovely. I feel secure in allowing them to stay in our home and care for it as they would their own home. We have 3 trips planned in the next few months

Have hosted and traveled with Kindred now and it is a great concept. Good service.

The communication is great and the stay feels personal and not just like a business transaction. Everyone is more invested, and we are so grateful for these opportunities!

The personal touches and sense of human connection in everything!

I’ve been hosting and traveling with Kindred for over a year and it has been life-changing for me. I was a host and traveled exclusively through Airbnb for a couple of years, but moving to New York City, the laws for hosting made it difficult. Kindred has been such a welcoming community and I’ve attended a few in person events and met other others who use the app as well. I’m also a part of the WhatsApp group where the developers consistently interact with and listen to the feedback from users. I love that I can utilize the cleaners through the app and the concierge so that I can enjoy my vacation rather than worrying about who’s in my home. I also love that my cat Luna can stay at the apartment as part of my profile, whoever stays in my place, agrees to take care of her. The use of credits has enabled me to travel to as far as Milan Italy, and to save money on accommodations. I highly recommend Kindred!

Good communication, lots of checking in, questions answered in a very speedy manner.

Kindred has completely changed the way we travel. It allows us to travel more often because it’s much more affordable than hotels or Airbnb, while also giving us the opportunity to experience destinations like locals. The Kindred team has been incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process, making every step seamless and stress-free. I’ve already recommended Kindred to my friends, family, and colleagues, and I’ll continue to be a strong advocate. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

We’ve have wonderful experiences as a Kindred host, every family has been so caring of our home. Almost all of the Kindred homes we have stayed in have been great as well. Over the past two years the Kindred hosting and cleaning logistics have improved as well, working really well our last few hostings. Amazing community, hope more join as the only big area for improvement is overall inventory.
