October 2025 update: New month, new features!
Hi home swappers,
New month, new features! Here's what's new to make your swapping experience smoother than ever:
- Preferred destinations to highlight where you'd love to go
- Travel buddies to show your group size and who's joining
- Unmatch option when a match isn't the right fit
But before diving into the details, take a look at some of the amazing new homes now available on Swaphouse:
List your preferred destinations
You can now set your preferred destinations, along with your available dates and preferred swap duration, to make matching even easier.
Add as many locations as you like, from continents and countries to specific cities. Your preferences will appear on your home listing so other swappers can easily see if you're the perfect match for their next adventure.
Add your travel buddies
Not traveling solo? You can now include anyone who usually travels with you, from your partner and kids to your parents, friends or pets.
Listing your travel buddies on your profile helps other swappers understand your group size and find a great fit for their next swap.
Unmatch when it's not the right fit
Ever matched with someone, had a chat, and realized… it's not quite a fit? Maybe they're looking for a family-friendly swap while you're planning a solo workation, or their house rules don't align with your travel plans.
No worries, sometimes a match just isn't the match, and that's totally fine! To help you keep your Matches overview filled with only the best swapportunities, we've added the option to 'unmatch' a match.
