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.
