Are there many hosts in Galindo y Perahuy?+

The community in Galindo y Perahuy is growing. The platform is newer than CouchSurfing, which means the network is still building β€” but it's building in the right direction, with hosts who joined specifically because they believe in the free model.

The web platform works on all mobile devices. A native app is in development for iOS and Android. In the meantime, the mobile browser experience is fully functional for searching, messaging, and managing your profile.

How long can I stay with a 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 β€” they just enjoy the connections.

Do I need to host in return?+

It's encouraged but not required immediately. The community is built on reciprocity β€” if you stay with someone in Galindo y Perahuy, 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.
