I agree. You will often see prayers to La Virgin Guadalupe, Bendice este hogar; Bless this home, not Bendice esta casa. Casa is house, hogar refers to
home.
Querencia, is sometimes translated to Home Sweet Home, but more often as lair.
Domicillio also refers to home, but in the context mentioned above, hogar seems the most appropriate. Context can be everything in translation...

Joke seen on a language forum:
--"How many translators does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
--"Depends on the context!"
"I can normally tell how intelligent a man is, by how stupid he thinks I
am."
"...they were careful of their demeanor that they not be thought to have opinions on what they heard for like most men skilled at their work they
were scornful of any least suggestion of knowing anything not learned at first hand."
Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses
"Be kind, be patient, help others." -- Isabel Allende
