One year ago, with great excitement and bated breadth, we launched Homestay.com to the world.

The journey we've shared with you, our hosts and guests, since then has been nothing less than amazing.

We've welcomed 30,000 hosts in 3000 destinations across 95 countries into our community. We've had guests from 165 different nationalities use our site to find their ideal homestay experience. And every day we welcome more hosts and guests.

You've showered us with positive feedback about your homestay experiences and Homestay.com. In a post-stay feedback survey:

  • 96% of guests said they would book again on Homestay.com
  • 85% of guests rated their homestay experience as very good or excellent
  • 83% of guests rated their experience of booking on Homestay.com as very good or excellent
  • 87% of hosts rated their homestay experience as very good or excellent
  • 85% of hosts rated their experience of hosting on Homestay.com as very good or excellent

We've received hundreds of glowing testimonials from guests and hosts who've shared amazing homestay experiences. Read them here - Guest Testimonials and Host Testimonials.

Our team here in the Homestay.com office in Dublin are a passionate bunch who've worked day and night (literally!) to create a global online homestay community that opens up a world of authentic travel experiences.

Homestay accommodation is not simply about booking a room and having a bed to sleep in, it’s about having a unique and authentic experience. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and language, meet interesting people, share stories and experiences and get to know a destination from a very personalised perspective.

We'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our hosts and guests who've shared the journey with us so far and also welcome anyone who would like to join us. You are what makes our global community so special and one that will continue to grow and flourish.

To celebrate this great milestone, we are giving away a dream homestay experience - anywhere in the world - to the lucky winner of our 'Hello Homestay' competition. The €5000 prize includes return flights for two people, 10 nights accommodation in one or more homestays of your choice, and €1,000 spending money. Enter now for your chance to win!
