App qui bugue et échanges très hétérogènes

Après un an d’utilisation en tant que résident à Paris, je suis très déçu du service de HE.
L’app et le site connaissent des bugs réguliers. Quand vous les subissez, le service client (injoignable par téléphone, uniquement par mail) met 48h minimum pour vous répondre. Il ne faut pas être pressé… De nombreux commentaires (parfois 5 étoiles curieusement) font état de ces bugs depuis de longues années mais aucune solution technique durable ne semble apportée.

Ensuite, notre expérience de l’échange est très contrastée. Si vous habitez dans une zone touristique comme nous, vous recevrez des dizaines (pas loin d’une centaine !) de demandes par an. En revanche, si vous souhaitez vous-même vous rendre dans une zone touristique (Londres et La Réunion pour nous), il vous faudra envoyer des dizaines de messages avant de trouver un échange… ou pas 🤣🤣 En un an, nous avons donc accueilli cinq familles… mais n’avons pas réussi à conclure le moindre échange pour nos propres vacances 😅😅. Bref. Sur le papier, une bien belle idée. Dans les faits, malheureusement, A**bnb demeure plus efficace.

Le meilleur moyen de découvrir de monde

Home exchange est devenu un art de vivre ! C’est une vrai communauté dans le respect de l’autre, dans la découverte de son univers et de son environnement.
Le site et les échanges sont très faciles et très sécurisés.
Nous ne changerions notre mode de vacances pour rien d’autre !

Response from developer

Bonjour, Merci pour votre avis et merci de faire partie de notre communauté. Bon HomeExchanging ! L'équipe HomeExchange.

Stay 5 star for less!

Great site and you are reliant on others replying to you. I have stayed in LA, Thailand, London, Kent and Yorkshire in stunning homes that have accommodated me and my 4 children that ordinarily would have cost me a fortune for the space. We didn’t have to split up into 4 generic hotel rooms we holidayed together, played games and ate and remained respectful of other people’s homes as you would expect yourself. I will continue to use this site for years to come .
