Frequently Asked Questions

Host Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the membership status of a guest or host verified? A: Rotary Friends is exclusively marketed to the Rotary community. During registration, all users must provide their specific Rotary Club affiliation. We encourage host members to verify details during initial correspondence and to consult user reviews for further validation.

Q: What should I do if my local area has restrictions on short-term rentals? A: We advise hosts to review local ordinances regarding "home-sharing" or hosted stays. In many jurisdictions, renting an individual room while the primary resident is present is governed by different regulations than unhosted, short-term whole-house rentals.

Guest Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if there are no listings in my desired destination? A: As a growing service, our inventory is expanding daily. It may take a little time to add homes and rooms for rent. Please be patient and check back later. You can also help by telling your local club and district about www.RotaryFriends.org

Q: Can I book a room if I am not currently a Rotary member? A: The platform is reserved for members. We invite you to use the Rotary Club Finder to locate a club in your area and learn more about becoming a Rotarian.

Q: Is it necessary to submit a review? A: We encourage both hosts and guests to provide feedback following each stay. These reviews are essential for maintaining transparency and helping the community make informed decisions.
