What is a home swap holiday?

Through Guardian Home Exchange you arrange to stay in another member's home in your chosen location while they stay in your home. By choosing to home swap rather than booking hotels or holiday rentals, you will drastically cut the cost of your holidays by taking advantage of free accommodation. 

You can arrange home swaps for weekend breaks, two week holidays or even for longer term home exchanges of several months. Most members arrange to swap homes at the same time (simultaneous home exchanges) but some members, especially those listing holiday/second homes, choose to exchange at different times (non simultaneous home exchanges). Check out some of the ways members are using home swapping.

Travel like a local: in addition to the huge cost savings, home exchanging gives you the chance to really get a feel for the places you visit as you'll be staying in a real home and can get travel tips and advice from real locals - your home swap partners. Add your home and start swapping
