Love Home Swap is a holiday home exchange website based in the U.K. which allows members to swap their houses, either home for home, or as a points swap. The site is completely secure, with all transactions handled by a verified payment service. Love Home Swap was purchased by RCI, a division of Wyndham worldwide, in 2017.

Love Home Swap gives homeowners access to vacation properties all over the world. The service allows members to swap their homes with other users, or stay at homes with accumulated points. Members initially contact each other about home exchanges through the website, though the company does recommend that this is followed up via phone or Skype. 

Services and Features

Love Home Swap is an online website for homeowners interested in exchanging houses with other homeowners around the world while traveling. Instead of staying in a hotel during their vacation, members can enjoy the comforts of a home away from home, and experience local life in a completely different way. Homes can cover a large suite of needs and specifications, from short-term getaways to lengthy stays, accommodating both families and individuals. 

In order to use the service, homeowners must purchase a membership, billed annually. There are three membership plans with different specifications and prices. At its most basic, the Lite membership has a free two-week trial, and allows users to switch directly or use points (150 bonus points are granted on sign-up). The most comprehensive program allows members to list more than one home, enjoy exclusive benefits and verified member status, access to free airport lounge passes, see who's shortlisted their home, get a featured home boost and a dedicated swap team. Finally, they receive 1,000 bonus points. However, homeowners who are new to home-swapping or only want to book one trip can choose a Pay Per Booking membership of £499, or the equivalent in local currency). 

Love Home Swap handles payments through a verified payment service, and each member's ID is verified before allowing them to begin swapping. The company also partners with Feefo, an independent review platform, so interested customers can see how users rate the service and the homes they stay in.

I 100% agree with the other review!!! scam scam scam!! I joined and tried for weeks to cancel. They billed my card even after I attempted to phone to cancel. They NEVER answer phones and we are still getting email requests even though I have removed everything I can and tried to cancel and delete our account. It is awful and a scam!!! Don't do it! I DO NOT believe TRUST PILOT reviews. they have to be fake!! this company will not respond once they get your money.

Don't trust Love Home Swap.I subscribed to the 14 days trial. For that, you need to leave your credit card and they say you can cancel the trial whenever you want. I decided to cancel on the same day I subscribed because the website is not what I expected. I sent them an email as there is no option to cancel on their website. . I wrote a several emails and they never answered. I called twice and got a recording. This company cannot be trusted. I joined on 6/3/19. I tried to cancel about an hour later and I am still trying to cancel with no response from the company.
