What does homestay offer?

Homestay offers the guest a great interaction with host or family who live on the premises, providing the understanding of the community language and culture, the necessary private room for sleeping, necessary meals and common living areas and facilities . Some of the most important qualities of a successful host are good integrity, being friendly and hospitable.

Homestay fees are calculated per day, week or month. It could include breakfast, half board breakfast and dinner, or full board with three meals a day. Grocery shopping and meals are normally done or prepared by the host. However, depending on the age of the guest, most host families expect their adult or mature guests to serve themselves breakfast and do their own sandwiches for lunch; but dinner is mostly prepared by the host for all guests and served with host in a family dinner setting.

Remember that most host families have other jobs and responsibilities and may also run business to generate income other than just being a homestay host or operator. There are times when a guest of host family can interact well with a host like at and after dinner time, and on weekends and public holidays
