How much does a host family get paid?
Host families get paid directly by their guests on Lingoo. Offering homestay language immersion stays is a good way to supplement your income in a way that is enjoyable and fits perfectly into family life.
Hosts set their own prices for accommodation, supplements and any additional activities. On Lingoo you also have the opportunity to teach your guest any other activity where you are experienced or qualified.
Once completed, your prices are clearly displayed on your published profile. Our clear and straightforward reservation procedure increases the security of your hosting activity and of the financial transaction with your guest. And because there is no middleman to work through, you choose your own guests and manage your own dates, prices and get paid directly.
Before setting your prices, search through the published host family profiles on the site. Look at other hosts who have a similar sized house to you, live in a similar country or rural setting and offer similar activities and ease of travel.
As a host, you will get paid directly by your guest, less the fee you pay to Lingoo.
