A small gift from your home country is a well-established tradition in hospitality exchange communities — nothing expensive, just something that says something about where you're from. Food, drink, or a small cultural item all work well. It's not required, but it's almost always appreciated.
Short stays (1-5 nights) are the norm, but longer stays are possible with the right host. Be upfront about your timeline from the beginning — hosts who are open to longer arrangements will say so in their profile or in the conversation. Never assume.
Yes, always carry travel insurance when traveling internationally. Sofahop's community is trustworthy, but travel insurance covers the things that are nobody's fault: medical emergencies, flight cancellations, lost luggage. It's a separate issue from the accommodation platform.
Yes. Many Sofahop members use the platform exactly this way — meeting for a coffee, a guided neighbourhood walk, or a day trip. You can mark your profile as open for meetups rather than hosting, and connect with locals who enjoy showing visitors around Austria.
Leave. Your safety comes first, and no Sofahop principle requires you to stay in a situation that feels wrong. Report the issue to the Sofahop team immediately, leave an honest review, and contact your country's embassy if necessary. The community takes safety reports seriously.
