netStayCouch

A separate, non-commercial layer of netStay for hosts who open their homes for free and travelers who want to be welcomed as guests, not customers.

Important — please read before joining

netStayCouch is free, personal hospitality — not free accommodation without social expectations. Guests send personal requests, hosts choose whom to welcome, and both sides agree on the type of interaction before the stay.

What netStayCouch is

  • Hosts offer their home, a couch, a room, or a shared activity — for free.
  • Travelers send personal requests introducing themselves and their reason for visiting.
  • Hosts and guests agree on the type of interaction before the stay.
  • Verified profiles and reciprocal reviews create trust — the same standards as paid stays.
  • Meetups and local activities let people connect even when no stay is happening.

What netStayCouch is not

  • It is not free accommodation without social expectations.
  • It is not a hostel or a booking engine — every stay is a personal invitation.
  • It is not tolerant of harassment, misuse of hospitality, or unsafe behavior. See our community standards.
