In their own words

Testimonials

The most important part of People Like Us is our community. Hundreds of members have opened their homes, and told us what happened next.

The most welcoming home exchange site that I am a member of. Great community.

  • København Denmark

    We have been exchanging for years, but first time we have arranged and exchange through the PLU website. Everything went smoothly, and navigation on the website is easy and without complications.

    A great new site! We have been with PLU since it started and they really consult members and respond to their needs. Many people were very disappointed when an existing, large Home Exchange company changed out of all recognition and PLU has developed the sense of mutuality and delight that we all missed.

  • Ridgway CO United States

    People Like Us is an amazing community of travelers who open their homes to others and, in turn, get to have incredible experiences in new places all over the world. Home exchanging allows me to spend quality time with my family. We get to live like "locals" and love hosting others in our home and share all our favorite tips about the amazing things to see and do in Southwest Colorado.

  • Hamburg Germany

    This is truly the most wonderful platform to swap houses! We have been exchanging ideas for many years and have found that the people and houses here are simply the most beautiful you can imagine. Especially if you are an experienced exchanger, you can feel that the "real home exchange spirit" is alive here – with people who share not only their home, but also their friendliness and outstanding helpfulness. I love this "place" and highly recommend being part of this extraordinary community.

  • Bellcaire Spain

    PLU has given us back faith in home exchange. Drew and his platform embody everything we value in home exchange: closeness, familiarity, trust... Plus the response time to any issues is amazing, and Drew is open to listening to our feedback when he introduces any changes (no matter how small). It has given us the sense of belonging to this great adventure and this is simply amazing.

  • West Melton New Zealand

    I have just finalised my first exchange with this exchange platform. I have been in other exchange networks for years, but what I have found in trying to set up an exchange through People Like Us are that the people are REALLY friendly and have gone out of their way to try to make an exchange enquiry work. I am getting out of another house exchange network because the people treat exchanges like transactions, and I really value the personal side of the exchange and are so disappointed when this isn't reciprocated.

  • County Donegal Ireland

    I enjoy the Facebook page and in my opinion this is the best home exchange site I've been a member of so far - in terms of support and navigating the site.

  • Soest Netherlands

    We could not be more enthusiastic about house swapping... just ticks all the boxes for us: affordable, opportunity to live live a local, escape from the most touristic places, be supported by someone who lives in the area where we are staying and can give us all type of advice and recommendations and sustainable - instead of having two houses closed while on vacation we use one's another house and enjoy it while taking care of it. It is the perfect combination for our family! Truly!

  • Montlhéry France

    The PLU community is really great: it shows kindness, humour, generosity (there is a lot of spontaneous help when a member is in difficulty)... all under the watchful and friendly eye of the site's founder, Drew. What a chance to be part of this beautiful "family" of interchanges!

  • Arnold CA United States

    I don't often take the time to write reviews, but PEOPLE LIKE US (PLU) is awesome! The management is friendly and accessible and has cultivated a kind culture that I'm glad to be part of and I enjoy participating. I highly recommend PLU and will continue to list my homes and enjoy travel without paying lodging fees. Thank you Drew & Team PLU!
