Guest Registration

Sign up at our webpage www.korea-homestay.com.

Fill in the basic profile and what specific preferences you have, such as preferred region of stay. As soon as you register, you will automatically be on the guest list.

Finding a host

You can browse through our hosts at the website. Visit the "Hostlist" page after logging in. You can search a host by region, university, or subway station using the menu on the left side of the page. If you find someone you like, click on the name to see additional information on the location and living facilities. Apply for that host by clicking on [WISH].

You can apply for up to five hosts per day. The hosts you picked will review your application and you will be able to check if they have accepted you at "My page".

If you find it difficult to choose a suitable host, tell us what kind of host family are you looking for. Once we have the information we will recommend you three hosts free of charge and you can then choose the best fit for you. The hosts also can pick their guests. View the hosts who chose you at "My page" and confirm the one you like to stay with.

Meeting (For foreign exchange students)

You are required to submit a copy of your passport / alien registration card and a document proving that you are currently enrolled at an educational institution (university, language school, etc.).

All documents are needed for identification purposes only and will be destroyed after 90 days. Upon moving in, you and your host sign a "Homestay agreement". We will send you the text in advance and you can let us know if you want any changes made to it.

Moving in (For tourists)

You are required to submit a copy of your passport for identification purposes. The copy will be destroyed after 90 days. If you have applied for pick-up service, the hosts will meet you at the airport and drive you to their home. If you choose to use public transportation we will send you detailed guidelines how to get from the airport to a bus or subway station near your host's home. The host will meet you there.

During Homestay.

We will contact you once every two weeks to check if everything is going well. Call us whenever you have questions or need help with your life in Korea. Homestay is different from all other types of accommodation as it is based on a personal relationship between the hosts and the guests. As long as you act politely to each other, we can guarantee you will have a wonderful time in Korea.
