Who We Work With
At Hosts International, we proudly partner with a wide range of educational institutions, organisations, global agents, students, apprentices, and professionals — ensuring everyone has access to safe, welcoming, and high-quality homestay accommodation across the UK and Ireland.
English Language Schools
For students coming to learn English, a homestay provides the perfect environment to immerse themselves in the language and culture. Our homestays offer a warm, supportive setting where students can practice their English outside the classroom while enjoying a true local experience.
Education Agents & Guardians
We work closely with education agents and guardians to ensure students are placed in safe, caring homestays that support both their academic and personal development. Each placement is carefully matched to the student’s needs, providing peace of mind and a positive UK experience.
Universities & Higher Education
We work closely with universities to accommodate both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Whether they need short-term or long-term stays, our carefully selected hosts provide a stable, comfortable home, ensuring students feel safe, supported, and well-fed throughout their studies.
Apprenticeship, Training & Students Schemes
For young professionals and apprentices, we offer accommodation that balances independence with home comforts. Located within easy reach of workplaces, our homestays provide a stress-free base for those starting their careers.

Dedicated to the Memory of Peter Brown, Lifetime CEO & Director of Hosts International.
Peter was a vibrant person, full of life and energy, he was always involved, he wanted to be, every single day, we thought he would always be around, he made an impression on all whom he met and always had a story to tell, he had time for everyone and was always interested in people, he loved our clients, hosts and students!
He had long lasting and strong, friendly, personal relationships with so many of you, our school partners, agents and the wider ELT and study travel industry. I know the industry and sector will be diminished by this news.
