Always have friends in the creative + entertainment industry looking to house swap with good humans. Finally now I can stop spamming my IG close friends friends list to try and share a friends spot, or find one! ### 5/5 — A game changer *2024-02-22, version 2.4.0* Helps me solve a problem I almost didn’t realize I had. Huge for any non-homeowner and anyone who wants to travel in the remote work era. ### 5/5 — very thankful for this platform! *2024-02-16, version 2.3.1* Kommu has made traveling frequently so much more accessible and cost effective! From just a few trips, I’ve saved thousands of dollars by finding stays of TRUSTED people (all friends and friends of friends) in the kommu network. Highly recommend using this platform for any travel ! ### 5/5 — No need to insta post *2024-01-25, version 2.3.1* Friend of a friend let me stay for a third the cost of Airbnb - just messaged them! So cool. ### 5/5 — Trusted network *2023-12-23, version 2.2.2* Love that I can be confident in where I’m going to stay, knowing that it’s someone within a trusted network! ### 5/5 — Genius!! *2023-12-15, version 2.2.2* This app is pure genius. It makes it so easy to travel without breaking the bank. I’ve been looking for a home swapping service and Kommu nailed it! Never using airbnb again. I highly recommend for anyone who loves to travel! ### 5/5 — Remember when Airbnb was good? *2023-12-14, version 2.2.2* Well this is better. No scams, no crazy fees. Just good people with fantastic homes working their network. Totally recommend if you’re traveling or if need a sublet, like I did. I was able to find a place that fit my needs immediately, and within my price range. Truly made my move to a new city 10000% easier. And F Airbnb, let’s be real. ### 5/5 — Great experience *2023-12-13* Love this app. They listen to the users and build new features fast. Awesome community and great product. ### 5/5 — Been waiting for something like this *2023-12-13, version 2.2.2* Love this app. I’ve always wanted to be able to see where my friends are traveling in case I’m in the same city and its also a great affordable option for stays. I recently went through a renovation in my home and used Kommu to look for available places to stay until the work was finished. The groups that exist for different networks is also great to connect with old friends and meet new ones. ### 5/5 — The best! *2023-12-12* This has been such a nice way to travel in a way that I still feel safe. And a huge plus that I avoid all of the fees that those other guys charge 😒. Kommu is the best!! ### 5/5 — The Holiday IRL *2023-12-12, version 2.2.2* Kommu is an innovative travel solution. Leverage your existing network to explore new cities and expand community across the country… or globe. ### 5/5 — Kommu is excellent *2023-12-12, version 2.2.2* Was able to find listings that matched the city I’ll be traveling to next! Going to save me close to $1000 vs Airbnb / hotels ### 5/5 — Best in Show *2023-12-12, version 2.2.2* Easy 5 star review for me. Easy to use and addresses a need we’ve been waiting for.

The idea that I can share my place with someone I know and make a couple hundred bucks while I’m away to offset my costs is very satisfying. Nice work! ### 5/5 — Kommu found me a spot! *2023-09-20, version 2.1.2* I trust this so much more than an a random Airbnb. ### 5/5 — Kommu is Airbnb 2.0 *2023-09-19, version 2.1.2* If you were hungry for safer and less expensive travel options and you’re looking for a way to do it through your friends (and friends-of-friends) to build deeper relationships, then Kommu is just what you’re looking for. I’ve been around this space for 7 years and Kommu is the best solution out there. So excited to travel more with friends (and friends-of-friends) and host them when they come to Chicago ❤️ ### 5/5 — All in one place!!! *2023-09-12, version 2.1.2* I love to bop around between friends’ places - this makes it so much more convenient because all of the info I need is in one place! I can see everyone on a map and check out their accommodations + availability. A great fit for my nomadic lifestyle ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2025-01-15, version 2.7.2* Can't get past entering my phone number – fail. ### 1/5 — Importing contacts *2023-03-19, version 1.0.2* Why can’t I import my contact? ### 5/5 — Not receiving sms (solved) *2024-06-27, version 2.6.2* I am not receiving a confirmation sms and therefore can’t register on the platform.
