How it works

STEP 1

Complete the simple online homestay booking form, providing all of your homestay preferences such as location, meal plan and period of stay.

STEP 2

One of our team will receive your submission within minutes and begin working on matching your request with suitable host families. Please ensure you understand and accept our Homestays Rates 2012 and Student Guidelines. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask us.

STEP 3

Within 24-48 hours of your application, we will send you via email a selection of host family profiles matching your requirements. View a sample host family profile.

STEP 4

You review the profiles and notify us of the hosts you are interested in, in order of priority. Feel free to ask us any questions regarding any of the families.

STEP 5

We will then check availability with your preferred host families and let you know which hosts are available for the dates you require.

Please note: neither we nor our competitors offer a viewing service prior to making reservation. This is to protect the students, the host families and our agency. We have a team of trained accommodation assessors visit our host families to ensure they are suitable hosts and their accommodation is of a high enough standard.

STEP 6

You confirm your choice of host family and we send you our invoice for the full period of your stay. We cannot confirm the booking until payment has been made in full.

STEP 7

As soon as we receive payment, we officially confirm your homestay booking with you and your host by confirmation letter, which provides all the host family contact details.

STEP 8

You contact your host to introduce yourself and to communicate any necessary information, such as arrival time.

STEP 9

Enjoy London to it’s fullest!
