Homestay Coupon Code & Discount Coupon April 2024

Excellent website to book room while traveling around the world

In general the basic idea behind the business is fantastic, however, the way they run the business is the problem! The problem is their hands off approach: No rules and regulations, no clear guidance, no control mechanism…My first experience with the place and the host was basically outrageous and scary, you can find out more about it below, in my letter to the Management of Homestay that they never replied.Hello Lorenza,First you made a mistake in my reservation, Second, I am paying my host in Dollars NOT Euro! I have also had very negative experiences, each time I use Homestay services, because of lack of standardized rules and regulations and requirements. For example, the first time my room was in a business/commercial high rise building with no residential unit in it. After 7:00 PM I was left alone in the building, with only the concierge living in the garage. It was devastatingly scary. Plus after 7 PM TILL 7 AM the air condition system was totally turned off and I had to tolerate the unbearable heat in the hottest month—August. Plus the host was nowhere to be found. The concierge was basically playing the role of the host. Also the kitchen had no appliances, because the host did not want the smell of food drowse attention of people in offices to the fact that someone is actually residing in one of the units. In addition, after telling friends about the situation, I discovered that living in an industrial/commercial building is actually against the laws. This event shows the Homestay failure in adopting a set of effective control mechanism and standardized measures to protect the safety of its clients.Last year—was my second homestay experience, my host was extremely nice, however he left me alone, house watching, and traveled overseas 3 times. The last time he actually moved out of the country for good, 2 weeks prior to my departure. This put a lot of unnecessary responsibility on my shoulders. Plus the first night, when I entered my room, I found the room filthy and covered with dust, the sheets were so dirty, as if they were not washed for years; the bathroom was covered with mold. The only good thing was that he was willing to bring in a cleaner the next day to clean the place and gave me clean sheet and had the molds covered by putting a layer of cement on it. Yet the apartment, though in a nice building and was relatively new, it seemed it was neglected for a long time. I was constantly worried to get sick, because the sink, the refrigerator...all were filthy, yet the price they asked for the room was extremely hefty compared to the city’s real state standards and other Homestay Units.They are also other less problematic issues involved, which are annoying. Things like not being very welcoming when it comes to sharing the living room, TV or kitchen, which becomes a burden when you stay in a place for a month or two. Or the breakfast not being standardized give the host the liberty to do whatever she wants. Right now, on my third homestay, she basically rationing everything by leaves 2 small pieces of bread and offer a bit of cheese and a glass of tea for breakfast, which is not enough for even a child. While she is getting paid 12 times more than the price of one room here. This time too, my host went vacationing 4 times during my 2 months stay, and twice left her severely sick husband in the apartment. One should simply wonder who is the “HOST” here. All the above demonstrating the failure of Homestay and the absolute needs for some kind of regulation and control mechanism in order to protect the clients and the guests!

Un séjour inoubliable auprès de Jason pour cette fin d’année 2017. Il n’y avait que Jason car Ai et les enfants étaient en vacances à ce moment là. Jason s’est remarquablement bien occupé de nous. Il est venu nous chercher à la gare, il nous a montré le quartier et les bonnes adresses (restaurants, boutiques, etc.). Il nous a fait de bons petit-déjeuners et nous a donné beaucoup d’attentions ! Nous le remercierons jamais assez ! Nous avons aussi passé le 31 décembre ensemble au temple et il a été super car il nous a expliqué toutes les traditions des japonais au nouvel an. C’était vraiment sympathique et nous avons eu le coeur lourd quand nous nous sommes dit au revoir. En tout cas, si nous revenons à Tokyo, nous irons certainement chez Ai et Jason. Concernant la chambre, elle était spacieuse et très agréable (bien éclairée). Nous avions aussi à disposition le toit de la maison et une vue incroyable sur la sky tree. Un séjour incroyable et inoubliable. Merci pour tout ! Florian & Laura Ynesta-------An unforgettable stay with Jason for the end of 2017. There was only Jason Ai car and children were on vacation at that time. Jason did a good job of us. He picked us up at the train station, showed us the neighborhood and the good addresses (restaurants, shops, etc.). He made us good breakfasts and gave us a lot of attention! We will never thank him enough! We also spent December 31 together at the temple and he has a great because he explained all the traditions of Japanese to the New Year. It was really nice and we had a heavy heart when we are goodbye. In any case, we are coming back to Tokyo, we will certainly go to Ai and Jason. Regarding the room, it was spacious and very nice. We also had the aircraft available at the house and an incredible view of the sky tree. An incredible and unforgettable stay. Thank you for everything! Florian & Laura Ynesta

We faced discrimination as an LGBT couple by a host.There is no T&C regarding anti-discrimunation on the site. Update: Homestay.com has written back saying they are looking into adding anti-discrimunation clauses in their T&C. I look forward to review them.

Very good explaination concerning the booking process, fast and simple. Some prices were shown in USD and some in CAD which was a little bit confusing.

First time at Homestay! Even in Cuba communication with host went flawless! Thank you!

Great website, clear info, friendly people. I haven't completed my booking but the booking process was really simple.
