Excellente famille, pour se trouver comme chez soi. Ils sont burrés d'amabilité, propreté, prêts à l'aide, que du positif.

Marianne's family is most loving family that I have ever lived with. They provided uncompromising care and attention so appreciate that;)) The interior of the home is unique and blessedly familiar. What I can reveal is that if you choose to live here you will have the opportunity to taste Mariana's superb cooking and baking desserts I promise it's delicious! I loooove it! I have made great memories here, thank you all so much xoxo

Marianne is the heart of this house!
I was absolutely happy about the accommodation. My chose was the loft room and also was perfect. It was very clean and the house looks very nice. The residential area was very safe and it was only 12 minutes by foot to the Berrylands train station. And in 30 minutes you are at London Waterloo station. Marianne helps me at all time with everything. Thank you again!

Ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt bei Marianne und ihrer Familie. Das Zimmer entsprach den Fotografien und war sehr gemütlich. Ich habe mich total wohl gefühlt und kann dieses Zimmer und die Gastfamilie nur weiterempfehlen. Alle waren sehr herzlich und zuvorkommend. Immer wieder gerne. Vielen Dank!

They are very friendly and give me a lot of attention when I feel sad. If I have chances, I want to live longer.

I had a great stay with Marianne and the family. They are very kind and willing to help you or give advice. You can do your own thing but they are also in for a chat about anything. I would definitely recommend this homestay
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.
