Greetings. We are located in Surrey BC, very close to public transportation and an easy 80 minute trip to downtown Vancouver (great scenery on the way). We are an also easy commute (20 minutes)away from Kwantlen College, KGIC and Douglas College.We have been a homestay family for over 23 years and have hosted students from all over the world. We offer a large room with it's own private bathroom, or a smaller room with a shared bathroom, great meals and lots of English conversation. We want our students to be part of our family completely, feel free to watch television with us, come with us when we go out shopping to come with us , meet our family members, that is how our students are treated...the one thing we ask is that you try your best to speak English all the time you are in my home. Our son Jason still lives at home as well as 1 cat. Smokers can stay but they will have to smoke outside the house.

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.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
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.
