When it comes to home swapping, many people start by looking at Facebook groups. While these groups can connect travelers, they also come with risks: no verification, unclear rules and no safety net if something goes wrong. That’s why many travelers wonder if HomeExchange a safer and more reliable alternative. Let’s break it down.

HomeExchange Facebook Groups
Verified profiles and identity checks for more trust. No verification: anyone can join with minimal oversight.
Built-in guarantees covering damages, cancellations and theft. No guarantees, exchanges rely only on personal trust.
Structured reviews and a supportive community forum. Reviews are informal and scattered across posts.
GuestPoints system allows flexible, non-reciprocal swaps. Mostly relies on reciprocal swaps, harder to coordinate.
24/7 member support for peace of mind. No official support: you’re on your own if problems arise.
