General Homestays
These families are situated within 25-45 minutes of the city centre with good transport links to make the journey a convenient one either on foot or by a short bus ride.
Our families offer Bed & Breakfast (BB) or Bed, Breakfast & evening meal (HB). The Bed & Breakfast package includes a continental style breakfast consisting of cereal, toast, tea/coffee etc. Half Board includes continental breakfast and a cooked dinner containing a main course of meat/fish with pasta/ rice/ vegetables/ salad followed by a dessert or yoghurt or fruit.
Meals are usually taken with the family unless otherwise arranged and special diets such as a vegetarian, halal and other requirements can be catered for but they must be specified at the time of booking.
The student can use the house as a family member and there is a laundry service available once a week. These are typical homestays that offer all the general comforts. The majority of overseas students find this package ideal as it combines reasonable price, quality accommodation within a convenient location.
Superior Homestays
These family locations are of a slightly higher calibre and are situated in more desirable locations of Bournemouth. With a Superior home, we concentrate on the quality of accommodation, the facilities such as Internet access and the family environment offered.
Homestays can provide: a dedicated bathroom for the students, or a shared bathroom with one other student of the same gender, or shared with the family. Still, the quality and appointment of the home is of a higher calibre.
Superior homes offer the same accommodation package as General homes in terms of travel times, meal plans and laundry.
Transfers
For most students, coming to Britain is a first time experience away from home. Therefore, Hosts International offers a full range of transport services for individuals and groups. All our transport services are offered in modern, comfortable, clean and fully insured vehicles with competent drivers who are sensitive to the welfare needs of overseas students.
Meet & Greet service
This service is available from any local airport or railway station to any destination. We use our own drivers offering a clean, efficient and safe service. The driver will always carry the name of the student he is collecting on a board and will have full details of your destination. We operate a 24 hour emergency line that students can contact at any time.
Students are advised to obtain detailed information from the office when they book a transfer service.
