Wondering about the exact homestay meaning? Put simply - Its staying in a spare room of a real home while the homeowner is there. All around the world, from cities to off the beaten path destinations, homestays are a type of accommodation that define the phrase a home from home. In a homestay you book to stay with a local in their home. They are your host during your stay.
Staying in a homestay you not only get to visit a destination, you get to really live it too. You see how the locals live their lives – something that is almost impossible to do when staying in other types of accommodation. What make homestays different to other types of accommodation are the hosts. No matter where youre staying, be it the Australian Outback or central London, youll never be in a homestay on your own. Your host will be there during your stay, to welcome you and make it as enjoyable as possible.
