Hosts International arranges welcoming homestays for students, recruits local host families, and supports schools, colleges, universities and education agents across the world. Our team combines local knowledge of Dublin with experience built since 1988.
One experienced team helps students find a suitable home, supports local households who want to host, and gives education organisations a dependable accommodation partner.
A supported local home for students attending a course, programme or placement in Dublin.
Use a suitable spare room to welcome students, earn additional income and receive ongoing support.
Reliable individual and group accommodation for institutions and education agents working worldwide.
Living with a local host gives students a welcoming base while they study at Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin and Dublin City University or join another programme nearby. It provides everyday support without taking away independence.
Students can focus on study and local life while knowing that someone is available if plans change or a question arises. Read more about our homestays.
Demand from students and education programmes creates opportunities for suitable households across Dublin. Hosting can bring additional income and genuine cultural exchange, with clear guidance from enquiry to departure.
Schools, colleges, universities and education agents can draw on our host network instead of managing every household themselves. We support partners based locally and across the world with clear communication and one accountable accommodation team.
Our aim is to help partners deliver a dependable student experience, not simply provide a room. See our education partner services.
We arrange placements across Dublin and the wider surrounding area. The following well connected neighbourhoods are examples, not a limit on coverage:
Availability changes by date and placement type. We consider the study location, DART, Luas and bus connections across Dublin and its coastal suburbs, journey preferences, household fit and the support each student needs.
Choose student, host family or partner in the form and share the dates and practical requirements.
A coordinator reviews the request, explains the process and confirms what information is needed next.
Students are matched with homes and hosts vetted to Hosts International quality standards, considering travel, preferences and welfare.
We confirm the placement details and remain available throughout the agreed stay.
Rates depend on the room, meal plan, dates and length of stay. Bills, Wi Fi and often meals are included, which makes costs easier to understand. We provide the full rate and inclusions before any Dublin placement is confirmed.
We work with hosts across Dublin and the surrounding area. Popular examples include City Centre, Rathmines, Ranelagh, Drumcondra, but availability is not limited to those districts. Matching considers the student’s study location, travel time and individual needs.
Students from the UK and around the world can enquire. We support school, college, university, language programme, internship and study visit requirements, subject to suitable availability and the needs of each placement.
Several meal arrangements may be available, including breakfast and an evening meal or self catering. The chosen arrangement is recorded before arrival so the student and host both understand what is included.
Our homes and hosts are vetted to Hosts International quality standards. The checks and safeguarding requirements reflect the student’s age and placement, with welfare, suitability and support central to every match.
Use the enquiry form and choose the host family option. We will explain the process, discuss your spare room and household, arrange the relevant checks and home visit, and support you before and during placements.
Yes. Schools, colleges and universities can discuss individual or group requirements, dates, safeguarding, meals and arrival coordination with our partnerships team. We plan capacity around the programme rather than offering a one size fits all package.
Agents can use us as their accommodation partner for individual students or groups. They receive a dedicated contact, clear placement information and coordinated support from the first requirement through arrival and departure.
Transfers can be arranged alongside a homestay booking where required. We coordinate the journey details with the student, organiser and host so arrivals and departures are managed clearly.
Placements may cover a short course, a term, an academic year or a longer programme. Tell us the dates, study location and preferences and we will look for an appropriate local match.
