Community guidelines

KaribuBoma is built on the principle of mutual respect between hosts and surfers. Treat every interaction with kindness, honesty, and cultural sensitivity. Remember: you're not just sharing a space — you're sharing a life experience.

Always prioritize safety. Use the verification system, trust your instincts, and communicate clearly. If something feels off, step back and reach out to the community for support. We have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or unsafe behavior.

Kenya is rich in cultural diversity. Learn about local customs, greet elders respectfully, and ask before taking photos. Be open to trying local foods, learning a few Swahili phrases, and understanding that hospitality traditions vary across communities.

Hosts set their own house rules — respect them. This includes quiet hours, use of facilities, food arrangements, and guest policies. Surfers should treat the host's home as they would their own. Clear communication before arrival prevents misunderstandings.

Reviews are the lifeblood of our community. Be honest, constructive, and fair. Our double-blind review system ensures that both host and surfer can share their experience without bias. Your feedback helps others make informed decisions.

KaribuBoma is more than a platform — it's a community. Attend hangouts, share your stories, and pay it forward. Whether you're hosting or surfing, you're part of a growing network of people who believe in the power of human connection and cultural exchange.
