Why become a Host Family ?
Good host families are in great demand. Your role is to share your language and culture with guests, provide a homely environment that includes home-cooked meals and accommodation, some help with language learning if you are able and a range of fun activities.
Your guests will be looking for opportunities to immerse themselves in your culture. These can range from shopping and cooking to sharing hobbies and planned day trips. You might also be asked to arrange a suitable local language course. Good hosting is about allowing guests to live as part of your family and practise language skills in everyday situations.
As a host family, you control when and how long guests stay, how much you charge, and whether you would like to host children, teenagers, adults or family groups, as well as how many people you can accommodate. Our secure online messaging service also gives you complete control over all interaction and agreements with your guests (including financial and activity elements of the stay).
Your successful hosting is also enhanced by our security measures; you will have been through an ID check, have sent us references and guests can leave evaluations of their stay with you on our site. This means good host families are always popular.
One of the reasons host families choose to use Lingoo is the financial benefit. Unlike other services, Lingoo only takes a small part of the fee you charge each guest. It’s also FREE to join.
