User Reviews

Kindred is lauded for its community-driven, human-centered approach and the potential to save money via home swaps. Many experiences highlight friendly, communicative hosts and high-quality stays. However, recurring downsides include a slow, restrictive booking process with few requests and delayed responses, fees that can rival hotels, safety and accountability gaps for hosts and guests, and UX/notification limitations. Customer support quality is inconsistent. Overall, the concept is strong, but execution varies across users.
Pros
  • Strong community-driven, humane approach to hosting and travel
  • Affordable travel through home swaps and stay credits, often cheaper than hotels
  • Many hosts and stays described as high-quality, communicative, and welcoming
  • Easy to host and earn credits, enabling more flexible travel
  • Overall positive sentiment about the platform's mission and vibe
Cons
  • Booking reliability and responsiveness problems: two-request limit, slow host replies, high denial/cancellation rates
  • Fees and pricing concerns: nightly service fees that can make stays feel hotel-like and not always cheaper
  • Safety and protection gaps for hosts and guests: no guest reviews for accountability, reports of disruptive guests, limited enforcement
  • UX and notification issues: inconsistent notifications, poor refresh behavior, restrictive messaging and auto-declines
  • Customer support consistency issues and quality control: uneven support and questions about quality control of listings
Recent reviews
No lie, terrific app at first, recommended it to several people. Where it gets tricky is the passport. I felt mislead by direct conversations with kindred employees after about a year of having the app and seeing that you’re at the mercy of other travers. I live in a popular (and party) city, in an affluent family neighborhood that is not in the middle of the craziness. The credits they give you are amazing, but once they are gone, you cannot do anything about it besides wait for someone to want to stay at you place—and if you live in a market where this makes sense, great! Otherwise, if you use passport, it’s a very long and expensive commitment to something that serves zero to little purpose. However, make sure you check your area to see if it is actually useful before signing up for a passport have analysed terms and conditions as trying to get in contact doesn’t work until you threaten legal action. They would do better to give options to people who have done what they’re asking and receive not stays so we aren’t just paying to prop up this business model.

We love how kindred makes travel more accessible and provides a space for likeminded people to explore and create memories. We’ve been members for a couple of years now and have had amazing experiences so far! Looking forward to more adventures.
