Lingoo homestay host profiles are diverse. They range from traditional and single-parent families to single adults and retirees. But all of them believe that learning a foreign language should be fun and full of the discovery that classroom settings simply cannot offer. They will help you learn and practise the language in everyday situations and while indulging your hobbies. Some hosts can also arrange to pick you (or your child) up at the airport or station and transport you there again when you return home. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through immigration.
We ensure every homestay is safe, secure and great value for money. The identity of every host is checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us. Together with references and visitor evaluations, contracts for each reservation, and support from the Lingoo team when misunderstandings occur, we ensure that your homestays are the ideal way to improve your language skills. Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.

Stretching back to Roman Times, the capital city of England is immersed in a deep and rich history. Rivalling each other for the most iconic landmark, the vast dome of St Paul’s Cathedral and the imposing Big Ben Clock Tower are in a constant standoff. The London skyline is a backdrop of architectural gothic grandeur peppered with funky innovations such as The Shard and The Gherkin.
With a population nearing 8.7 million and over 300 languages shaping its linguistic and cultural landscape, London has a diversity to be marvelled at. A dream for history and art lovers, the majority of museums in London are free. Don’t miss, the British Museum, The National History Museum or the Tate Modern.
