Partner with Hosts International to place your students safely in high-quality, vetted homestays across the UK and Ireland. We handle everything, so you can focus on what you do best.
Placing students in homestays requires trust, experience, and a provider who takes safeguarding seriously. We have been doing this since 1988 and we do it properly.
We have been placing international students in welcoming UK homes since 1988. Very few providers can match our depth of experience and established host network.
Our carefully maintained network of host families covers 20+ locations across the UK and Ireland, giving you the coverage you need wherever your students are studying.
Our team is available around the clock. If an issue arises with a student placement, we handle it immediately, keeping you informed throughout.
We aim to respond to all placement requests within 24 hours. We know that delays cost you time and reflect on your reputation with students and agents.
We are British Council registered, members of English UK and AEGIS, and work to ISI, Ofsted, EAQUALS and ACELS standards. All hosts are vetted, subject to Enhanced Police and ID checks where required, and regularly reviewed.
Each partner gets a named accommodation coordinator. You are not passed around a call centre. You have a direct point of contact who knows your students and your requirements.
If issues arise after arrival, we manage them. We do not disappear once a placement is confirmed. Our responsibility to you and your student continues throughout the stay.
We work with organisations of all sizes, from small language schools to large universities. Our terms are flexible and our pricing is competitive. Talk to us.
We provide homestay accommodation for a wide range of education organisations. Whether you are placing 10 students or 1,000, we have the network and experience to deliver.
We offer a full range of accommodation and transfer services, so you can place every student with confidence regardless of their requirements.

“We have worked with Hosts International for many years and they are simply the most reliable homestay provider we use. Their response times are excellent and the quality of host families is consistently high. They make our job easier.”
Director of Accommodation, London Language School
“The safeguarding standards Hosts International apply to their under-18 placements give us complete confidence. As an Ofsted-inspected centre, we cannot afford to place students with providers who cut corners. These do not.”
Principal, Southern England Boarding School
“Fast, professional, and genuinely supportive when issues arise. We place several hundred students per year with Hosts International and would not use anyone else for our core UK homestay provision.”
