Becoming a host family

Becoming a host family means much more than just welcoming an international student into your home, it is a great opportunity to experience new cultures, meanwhile showcasing the British culture to the students. Hosting international students serves as an excellent means for them to familiarise themselves with British customs and ways of life, as well as acquiring a clearer accent and native language expressions.

You could become a host family with Cambridge Classic Stays if you have a spare room that is clean, private and well-maintained and if your family can provide a secure and welcoming setting for young international guests.

We are seeking safe and reliable host families which the students can get to know over the period they are here for. It is imperative that students receive proper care, nourishment, respect, and are treated as if they were part of the family. In return, we expect students to exhibit politeness, respect, and responsibility during their time with you. For families capable of providing a high level of supervision, care, and quality accommodations, the rewards are substantial, both in terms of social enrichment and financial benefits. We ask that host families provide the following to all guests:

  • A warm welcome and introduction into the family home.
  • A clean, comfortable and well-lit bedroom with sufficient space to store clothing and belongings. Access to a table or desk would be desirable.
  • Regular access to the bathroom.
  • Bed linen which should be cleaned once a week.
  • Meals provided on a half or full board basis, depending on the group’s requirements.

Our primary goal is to ensure the satisfaction of all parties involved, and we are fully dedicated to finding a compatible match that suits both our host families and students. Our operations team will maintain open communication to discuss student hosting availability and we’ll do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have.

Throughout your hosting journey, our devoted team will be at your service, ready to offer assistance at every stage of the process. This includes the initial booking, introducing you to the students, and ensuring a seamless and pleasant hosting experience for the entire duration.
