Safety & Trust
Swap with confidence
Trust is at the heart of Swap Holiday Homes. We combine identity verification, home review and a clear privacy protections to helps members feel confide when arranging a stay or exchange.
Trust built in, every step of the way
Trust comes from more thasnone check. Identity verification, home reviews, privacy protections work together to help create a safer, more transparent community for everyone.
How we build trust
Identity verification
Members complete identity verification as part of joining SHH, helping confirm that people are who they say they are.
Home documentation review
We review supporting home documentation to help confirm each member's connection to the property before it can be published.
Listing approval
Every home is reviewed against our publishing standards before it appears on the platform.
Reviews after stays
Members can review each other after completed stays and exchanges, helping build a clearer picture of the community over time.
Private by design
Exact home addresses, verification documents and private messages are never displayed publicly.
Reporting and support
Members can report a concern at any time, and our team will review and respond where appropriate.
Your address stays private
Public pages and search results show only an approximate location, such as a city or region. Your exact address is snever displayed publicly and is shared only with an exchange partner once a stay has been agreed.
Some tips for a smooth exchange
- Keep conversations and agreements within SHH member messaging.
- Review a member’s profile and any previous reviews before agreeing an exchange.
- Confirm dates, guest numbers and house rules clearly in writing.
- If something feels wrong, report it to SHH. For anything urgent or involving immediate safety, contact the apporopriate emergency services.
Trust works both ways!
Verification, reviews and clear communication all help build confidence, but trust also depends on how members treat one another and their homes. We ask everyone to communicate openly, act with care and respect, and raise any concerns so we can help keep the SHH community welcoming and trusted.
Safety FAQs

Members complete identity verification, and homes go through a documentation review and listing approval before they appear in the community. These checks build trust, but they are not a guarantee of conduct or condition.
Will my home address be shown publicly?
No. Your exact address is never shown on public pages. Search results and public previews only show an approximate location, such as the city or region.
What can I do if something goes wrong?
You can report a concern about a member, home, message or review at any time, and our team will review it. For anything urgent, always contact your local emergency services first.
