Safety,always
You get in with an invite or a yes from our team. Profiles get reviewed, and reports go to real people. Our guidelines say what this space is for.
A lot of people arrive with an invite. If you register without one, the Quouch team reviews you before you're in.
Our team reviews new accounts and pulls anything incomplete or off.
This is not a dating app. Respect pronouns, and ask if you're unsure. Talk about hard nos early. No nudes, no sexual content. Don't bring cis, straight, dyadic men into someone's home without a clear yes. Hosts and guests can always say no. Guidelines.
Reports go to real people. Harassment, scams, or treating this like a hookup app gets you out.
Video call your host or guest first. If they won’t, walk away and tell us.
End a stay, block, report. We’ll listen and act. Nobody owes anybody more than respect.

Used Quouch for a solo trip to Lisbon and somehow found my new favorite humans. Every queer person should know about this app <3 10/10 would rather stay with queer folks than gamble with random hostels again.
Elise (she/her)
Quouch feels like if couchsurfing grew up and got queer therapy. Everyone I hosted was kind, respectful and actually came to connect, not just crash and go. I’ve met people I’ll keep in my life for a long time 🧡
Lucie (she/they)
Found Quouch before my trip to Amsterdam and honestly didn’t expect much, but it completely changed how I travel. Felt safe, understood and somehow ended up at a WILD karaoke night with new friends (lmao). Already planning my next trip!
