What our members say

Real words from real people living the hapipod way

hapipod is a brilliant idea – it’s brought a touch of magic to my home. I have a warm and friendly housemate who has experience with kids and gives me a little help before school and some bedtimes. I also get a little income for the room, so it’s perfect

My hapipod homeshare has been such a treat! It's a great way to live in London and find your feet in such a hard and expensive city! I’ve been welcomed into a beautiful family and made to feel at home from the very beginning! I couldn't afford this level of comfort any other way.

I needed to temporarily relocate on a small budget. It was great to find such a brilliant, friendly household where I can help out a little and get a comfy room. It’s a laid back, open, sociable home. Helping just feels natural- and I dig the gardening so it's a great fit. But I'm happy to do a little extra because the low rent is really great.

I found the kindest, most wonderful host through hapipod. We became the best of friends immediately. I helped her out at home and she shared such helpful advice and guidance. My stay there was truly a blessing and I can't thank hapipod enough.

I couldn't wish for a better lodger. She's not actually around that much, but when she is, she is very helpful, and we have interesting discussions.

Our hapipod arrangement suits us all well and our lodger is a charming and helpful young person who takes care of our house when I am away and keeps my elderly husband company. I’ve been very impressed and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Please note: hapipod.com is a matching site that introduces compatible hosts and lodgers. All active members pass an ID verification check and we provide clear safeguarding guidance to help maximise the likelihood of successful arrangements. It is up to members to undertake further checks, agree fees and activities and ultimately get along. hapipod.com does not monitor homeshares once organised and cannot be responsible for their outcomes.
