Absolutely. Many Sofahop members in La Troja (El Chiflido) 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
