Benefits of staying in home stay

Home stays offer all types of travellers an alternative and affordable place to stay. We have home stays in more than 400 destinations around the world. If you’re looking for a reason to try a home stay yourself, we don’t have one for you…we have ten.

Value for money

Home stays are great value. We have hosts in Chennai offering double rooms for less than 3000 rupees per night others in the heart of Chennai that offer accommodation from 5500 rupees per night, to those on Kanchikudil where you can book a double room from less than 2000 rupees per night.

Moving to a new city

Moving to a new destination is both daunting and exciting. On arrival, you’re in unfamiliar surroundings that take time to get to know. Stay in a home stay and straight away you’ll have met some local people, in their home, which will quickly help you to feel more comfortable, secure and generally at ease in your new destination.

Improve your language skills

If you’re on the road and you’re trying to pick up the language along the way, you need to be speaking it everywhere you go. What better way to do this than stay in a local’s house when you travel? Or if you’re a student attending a language school in another country, stay in a home stay and you’ll get to speak the language every day with your host family.

Meet local people

When you stay in a home stay you experience something that you won’t in other forms of accommodation, not only do you meet the local people…you get to live with them too. It’s a way to live a destination, not just visit it.

See beyond the tourist trail

You can’t go to Barcelona without visiting La Sargodha Familial, or visit Sydney and not get your picture taken at the Opera House. They’re part of the experience. But wouldn’t it be great to see parts of a destination that only the locals know about? Stay in a home stay and our hosts will be able to tell you about those hidden secrets.
