Company mission
Love Home Swap are on a mission to transform the way the world travels, connecting like-minded home lovers and facilitating house exchanges worldwide.
Our take
On the back of Airbnb's success, home swapping is more popular now than ever. By swapping homes, as opposed to renting, you can save money, have a more authentic travel experience and get to stay in previously unattainable properties. Love Home Swap is a platform connecting users who want to swap their homes without paying for accommodation.
Love Home Swap offers a subscription to what it calls a community - travel and adventure enthusiasts who sometimes swap more than just homes (think - gym memberships and cars). This community is at the heart of the company's product offerings. In addition, members save significantly more with Love Home Swap compared to holidays with hotels and Airbnb's.
Love Home Swap was acquired by Travel + Leisure Co, formerly Wyndham Destinations, a US-listed business, embedding itself into a global travel network that can only help it grow
