Frequently asked questions

How long can I stay with a host?+

That's between you and your host. Most stays range from one to five nights. Longer stays are possible if both sides agree — just communicate clearly up front, and be realistic about what's sustainable for your host.

What if a stay doesn't go well?+

You can leave an honest review and report any issues to the Sofahop team. The mutual review system means bad actors quickly become visible to the rest of the community. It's self-correcting: the people who stay active are the people who take the exchange seriously.

What if I just want to meet travelers, not host them?+

That's fully supported. You can set your profile to 'meet travelers' rather than 'host', and connect for coffee, city tours, or local tips without offering accommodation. Many active Sofahop members never host — they just enjoy the connections.

Can I use Sofahop as a local to meet travelers visiting El Bascán (Lucha Bascán)?+

Absolutely. Many Sofahop members in El Bascán (Lucha Bascán) aren't hosting — they're meeting travelers for coffee, showing them around, or just connecting with interesting people passing through Mexico. The platform supports all levels of engagement.

Do I need to host in return?+

It's encouraged but not required immediately. The community is built on reciprocity — if you stay with someone in El Bascán (Lucha Bascán), consider hosting a traveler when you're back home. Most long-term members do both, and they consistently say hosting is as rewarding as traveling.

How is Sofahop different from CouchSurfing?+

CouchSurfing started charging a mandatory membership fee in 2020. Sofahop is free forever. It's built on the original idea — genuine hospitality exchange — without the paywall. Many Sofahop hosts moved from CouchSurfing specifically because they didn't want the community to go commercial.
