Own Home selection when you send reciprocal requests

Hi,
This is an absolute must feature to have.
I have several homes, every time I send a request for reciprocal exchanges the receiver gets the wrong home shown.
So we have to spend a lot of time clarifying where I am offering them to stay.
Sometimes they can’t even see all my homes, somehow.

We would need an option that makes you select which home you want to share if you have more than one.

Thanks for voting and proposing this essential feature to the development team

Hello. You mean before sending it ?

@cyclorbit: I asked for this to the HE team a year ago. Still waiting for them to create it, As you say, it’s a chaos the way it works at present,
They HE team told me that, in the meanwhile, every time I sent a message I had to go back to the conversation and check which home had been offered and change it manually. This is what I do, but its really time consumming and it’s really a mess!

It also encounter another problem: When someone puts one of our homes in their favourites we receive an email from HE, but from that message you are not able to know which of our homes is the one they have favourited! They call all of them “casa de Imma!” :woman_facepalming:

Yes, it should be before sendig it!!

Of course, it needs to be before sending it.
Once you send the request with the wrong home selected, most receivers just reply no straight away, and you don´t know if they understood which home you were referring to.

I do write in the request that I want to do an exchange with a certain home, but when they see another one in the request, is confusing and they may get it wrong.
They may also think that I am just sending random requests with the wrong home, because not everyone knows that there is no way to select which home.

Sure it would be better before but not possible for now. Do you Know you Can change it manually yourself just After you sent the request ? ( It would avoid you to explain it in your message)

Hi Etienne, can you tell us how to do it before having sent our request, as I cannot find a way to do it before having sent my requests, but just after sending them, so I need to go back to the conversation and change it manually, and as Cyclorbit says, it leads to confusions, apart from the time we waste doing it Thanks

You can’t do it unfortunately. A solution eventually if it’s possible, is to put other homes offline the Time to send thé requests, like this it sends with the only one remaining

Thanks, I will try this trick. Only concern: will the people that have a confirmed home swap with us receive a message that we have deactivated our add? I wouldn’t like them to worry about their future stay each time I was looking for a new home swap :smiley:

No in fact the site won’t let you put it offline if you have exchanges finalized with it, that’s why I precised “if possible”

But we usually have exchanges finalized!.. so this trick won’t work for us. I hope the HE team listen to us and take into account that there is a quite big number of people offering more than one place to stay as we do, might it be two homes or a home and a private bedroom, so we really need them to fix this problem. Thanks anyway Etienne for trying to help.

This suggestion box serves to this, you’ll see later if it helps :wink:
