Advantages of Hosting Students with Good Homestay
At Good Homestay we appreciate every family who decided to dedicate their time and effort to work with us and provide students a welcoming home upon their arrival to a new country. Below are some of the significant advantages that we offer to our host families.
Earn Extra Income
Hosting a student through homestay is a perfect option for the families with spare empty room. At Good Homestay, we have established highly competitive compensation rates to provide host families with a sustainable long-term homestay experience. Please refer to the ‘Compensation’ page for further information.
Flexibility
At Good Homestay, we offer host families great flexibility to customize their homestay experience. Specifically, we allow every host family to specify the preferences on the student’s background, including gender, age and the length of homestay period.
Typically, homestays range from 4 to 8 weeks, making it easier for families to provide short-term accommodation compared to renting out, which can involve more uncertainty about tenants’ backgrounds and length of stay.
Furthermore, at Good Homestay, we individually contact each matching host families for every student, rather than using a ‘first-come, first-served’ approach. While this process may take a little longer, we prioritize ensuring both students and host families have a positive homestay experience. We believe our method allows host families to host students who perfectly match their preferences, while also giving host families enough time to consider before confirming a student’s placement.
Secure and Safer Method to Provide Accommodation
Hosting a student through Good Homestay enables host families to accommodate guests without needing to manage or schedule the placement, as we handle all matching processes. Host families primarily need to review the student profile and either confirm or decline the placement.
Additionally, since we coordinate with agent companies and language schools to place students, we can confidently assure host families a more secure placement compared to other accommodation platforms.
Furthermore, all financial transactions related to homestay will be conducted through Good Homestay and students are required to pay certain amount of their homestay fees prior to starting their placement. This reduces the chances of financial issues for both students and hosts.
Support
At Good Homestay, we strive to work closely with each host family, providing support whenever needed. This includes frequent communication including regular house visits to familiarize ourselves with hosts families and discuss about their experience accommodating students.
We also offer any kind of advice as necessary while hosting students, aiming to build strong connections and create an environment where host families feel comfortable addressing any concerns they may have.
With over 10 years of experience, we have also developed close partnerships with language schools and student agencies. This enables us to effectively support host families under any situations during their homestay experiences and taking responsible solutions.
