Be a Host

You need to be English speaking and able to provide a comfortably furnished bedroom, meals and support in a welcoming atmosphere. We have a regular need for homestay accommodation throughout the year allowing you to choose the time that works best for you.

Working alongside our experienced staff, this ensures that you have all the information you need to give the students a memorable experience and ensure they are all conscientiously looked after and treated consistently.

In return you will receive weekly payments as well as a truly rewarding experience.
Many of our hosts keep in touch with the students who have stayed with them for years to come.

Who do we work with?

Hostlink UK is the leading provider of homestay accommodation in the heart of Thames Valley and we have recently expanded our operations into the Oxford and Weybridge areas.

What do we offer you?

Our homestay model has been developed over the past decade and we provide all the information and support you need as a host family to create a safe and welcoming environment for our students.

We have well defined selection processes and comprehensive documentation so that you know exactly what to provide for the students and who to contact should you need any help, whatever time of night or day.
