Travel staying at beautiful homes at no cost. Behomm is a home exchange community only for creatives and design lovers. ONLY FOR CREATIVES & DESIGN LOVERS We are all architects, interior designers, stylists, creative directors, etc… exchanging our home for vacations with no money among us. Already in more than 50 countries. 51% are families with kids. 49% couples and singles. All design lovers are more than welcome to join, no matter their profession. WHAT IS HOME EXCHANGE? You stay at my home for free while I stay at yours also for free. A weekend, a week, a month, even a sabbatical year. Simultaneously or not. Exchanges are reciprocal, one to one. No third parties. No points system. WHY HOME EXCHANGE? - Your home is not empty while you’re away. Much safer. - Sustainable tourism: help Mother Earth when traveling by using existing resources. - Be a guest, not a client. - Be at a private home, with all its comfort, not an empty renting space. - With kids: enjoy all the toys, cots, highchairs… of another family. - Save on accommodation. - Meet other creatives around the world, exchanging with Behomm. STAY AT BEAUTIFUL HOMES We do home selection. Taste has nothing to do with luxury. All size homes fit in Behomm: from very small flats to villas. BE SAFE We’re a private community. Access to Behomm is by invitation only, much safer, avoiding anonymous registrations. Apply for your invitation through our app. KEEP YOUR PRIVACY Since we’re a private community, all homes are not seen by the general public, unless members give us their express permission. SUBSCRIPTION Annual membership fee is 560 € (second home for free and unlimited exchanges). FOUNDERS We’re Eva Calduch and Agustí Juste, graphic designers from Barcelona, passionate home exchangers who tired of wasting time searching for beautiful homes, founded Behomm in 2013 to link beauty lovers worldwide. Staying at beautiful homes, meeting people with similar interests, and all while saving on accommodations.

Travel more. Spend less. Home sharing built on trust, not transactions. You already share places through group chats, social posts, and word of mouth. kommu is where all of that comes together — one place tolist, find stays, and build your network. Everyone is identity-verified. Your rules are set before anyone books. Every stay comes with $100,000 in protection. No transaction fees. Share your link wherever you already post — anyone who books through kommu is verified and follows your terms. Every connection you make and group you join opens up more stays to book and more people to share your place with. The average kommu guest saves over $1,200 per trip compared to hotels and short-term rentals. One trip more than pays for the year. THREE WAYS TO STAY 1. Stay at someone's place — hosts set a rate to help cover their costs. 2. Swap homes with another person. Your place for theirs. 3. House/pet sit while someone's away. One subscription. No transaction fees on any stay. You don't need to host to join. Free to try for 14 days. Browse homes, build your profile, and connect with people. Your subscription starts when you propose your first stay or at the end of your trial. Questions? kommunity@gokommu.com. We read every message.
