TRAVEL WITH GUESTTOGUEST INTOTAL SAFETY!
GuesttoGuest offers you customised guarantees: a security deposit and insurance in case of a problem:
• The security deposit covers small problems such as a broken vase or a stained carpet.
• The insurance covers cancellation up to the last minute and more se-rious unforeseen circumstances.
TRAVEL WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT THANKS TO GUESTPOINTS!
GuesttoGuest can be a traditional reciprocal exchange, where you go to the home of the same person who comes to yours, for the same dates. However, organizing a reciprocal exchange isn’t always feasible; it’s often difficult to agree on a date or just to find someone in the region you want to visit who wants to come to your area. GuesttoGuest has invented GuestPoints to make non-reciprocal exchanges possible. This unique system allows you to travel wherever and whenever you wish.
� The idea is simple : each member gains GuestPoints just by signing up, as soon as they complete their profile, and can accumulate more by hosting. You can then use these points to travel to any other member’s home: it’s flexible and efficient!

With home exchange, I was able to introduce my kids to the Vallée des Merveilles and give them a unique experience of sharing and conviviality.

It’s so great to travel with GuestPoints! Rental is replaced by increased buying power ... for visits, restaurants,
etc … ” Chris et Dana

A perfect exchange. We had a marvelous stay in Amsterdam with Marlein, who was a very thoughtful host. We highly recommend it!

Thanks to GuestToGuest we just spent a week in Paris at Monique’s home in Montparnasse, who welcomed us so warmly. We shared her duplex--plenty big enough not to get in each other’s way. The apartment is superb, quiet and well-located (métro, bus, theatres, restaurants), and it was a pleasure to visit with Monique in the evenings.
