  • Step 1: Search for accommodation and request availability first by messaging the host.
  • Step 2: The host then will confirm availability. Please note that as the host you have the choice of accepting or declining a booking request. 
  • Step 3: Once availability is confirmed you can make your booking via the website by completing the booking request form on the listing detail page.

The general rule is a token per person per night, but a minimum of two tokens per room. For example: 

  • 1-2 guests: 2 tokens per night.
  • Sharing the same unit or room thereafter: 1 token per person per night.
  • When only 1 Person is occupying a room: 2 tokens per night.
  • Please Note: When two rooms are requested for 2 people, two separate bookings should be made.

OTHER EXAMPLES:

  • 1 guest stays for two nights: 2 tokens per night = 4 tokens total spend
  • 2 guests stay for two nights: 2 tokens per night = 4 tokens total spend
  • 4 guests sharing a room or unit and staying for two nights: 4 tokens per night = 8 tokens total spend

  • Accept bookings and host fellow members (the tokens they spend are allocated to your account).
  • Recruit a new member and earn 8 swop tokens.

  • Once tokens banked has been sold, Swop and Stay will deposit 15 EUR per token in your bank account, after which you will be allowed to bank another 20 tokens then.
  • Swop tokens earned never expire and are carried over annually as long as your membership fee is up to date.
  • When you sell or close your establishment, your listing will be deleted but you can still use your tokens to make bookings for the remainder of your membership year.
