My stay with Yasmin and her family has left me with really good feelings. The family members are really kind and helpful when needed. The house is really quiet and in a safe zone in Kidlington, my room was super comfortable and the food served at dinner is absolutely delicious (maybe a bit spicy if you're not used to it, but everything is homemade and healthy, and carefully elaborated). I really needed a comfortable and safe space as a Ph.D. student, and the Ramzan family have ubdoubtedly provided it for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

The host Yasmin is highly recommended with great communication. This is the second time in this house and I'll be back again for sure.

I really enjoyed staying in Yasmin’s house. The house is lovely and inviting. The room is spacious and the bed is comfortable. Also wi-fi works great! It takes only 20 minutes to get to the city centre by bus. And there are night buses too, so you can always get home safe and sound.

Another stay at Yasmin’s and it’s always a really good time to see her and her family. Always lovely and confortable stay. Her house is not too far from Oxford downtown and next to Kidlington Airport with many bus stations around.
Looking forward to seeing you again !

Staying with Yasmin was a last minute decision and booking, and boy did it turn out to be best ever ! I frequently use sites like airbnb for bookings on my travels, and Yasmin's place has been the BEST I have been to, so far.
The house is neat, recently refurbished, impeccable. Super comfy beds, luxurious bathrooms. The food is delicious, and Yasmin keeps in mind your personal preferences in terms of veggies, spice, menu.. everything !
For the family, I possibly cant say enough. I have met friends for life. Yasmin is family away from family for me. The kids are very friendly, and will engage you in their playroom, in a blink. Both of daughters, and the son, are very well mannered and accepting of new guests.
Akram is a wonderful and warm host as well. Ready to help on all matters, and his dinner time stories are unbeatable.
I met a couple of foreign students while i was staying there. Everyone went as impressed with this place as I did.
If you are going to Oxford/Kidlington, this place is perfect. Bus stop is right outside the house, with connectivity to Oxford every 20 minutes. Close to other places like Bicester, Banbury as well.
Its not a homestay, its home !
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
