🏡 5 Things to Check Before Booking a Homestay

Planning a trip and thinking of booking a homestay? Don’t rush — here are 5 important things you should always check before confirming your stay:

1️⃣ Location & Accessibility
Is it near public transport, malls, or attractions? A convenient location saves you time and money.

2️⃣ Reviews from Past Guests
Always read reviews to spot red flags. If multiple guests complain about the same issue (e.g., cleanliness, noise), trust that pattern.

3️⃣ Photos vs. Reality
Make sure the pictures look consistent and not overly “edited.” Realistic photos = realistic expectations.

4️⃣ House Rules & Extra Fees
Some homestays charge cleaning fees, deposit, or have strict rules (no cooking, no parties). Read carefully before booking.

5️⃣ Host Responsiveness
A good host replies quickly and provides clear instructions. This makes your stay smoother and stress-free.

✨ Remember: a bit of research upfront can save you a lot of frustration later. Happy booking!
