Swap.
Stay.
Belong.
Bolya connects the Irish community around the world, wherever home is. Add your home, swap with someone else's, or stay near your own people on the trips that matter most.
Three ways to unlock
Irish homes.
Swap
Trade homes with another member. No rent, no nightly rate, nothing to pay between you.
Live like a local, with the whole place to yourself.
- Same dates, or different ones if that suits you both better
- Ireland and Australia, whichever direction you're going
- Personally matched and checked by a real person, and you'll meet the other household before anything is locked in
- No trip planned? Mark your home flexible for the right swap and we'll bring the right one to you
Stay
A member's home at roughly half the going rate.
Host
Cover your costs while your place sits empty.
What we're getting right first
- The local rules, market by market
- Payments that are secure on both sides
- A bond, and a clear process if anything goes wrong
Add your home now and yours is ready the day paid stays open.
Add your home →Help us build Bolya, one home at a time.
We're adding real homes from founding members every week. Take a look at what's live so far, and be part of growing it.
Who's this for?
If Ireland is part of your story, you're in. Full stop. Living there, married in, raised by Irish parents, or you've got Irish friends, it all counts. Works just as well two hours from home as it does two hemispheres away. Dublin to Galway. Sydney to Byron. Ireland to Australia and back again.
Founding MemberBe one of the first 100.
We're building this properly, one real match at a time. Right now, Bolya is completely free, no catches, no tiers, so get in, complete your profile, and tell everyone you know in the Irish community. The first 100 members in your country get the Founding Member badge, permanently, plus first access to whatever comes next, on us.
A community built on trust, and growing fast.
Real people. Real conversations before you match. Every match gets a personal look from someone on our team, and nobody is introduced to anyone until we've checked who they are. How we do that is set out on How It Works.
