Host Family Ireland



Frequently Asked Questions:



  • How does Host Family Ireland work?
    1. By completing an application form, Host Families list their criteria (for example, they don't want vegetarians or smokers)

    2. Using our search form, Guests list their criteria (ex. they want Internet connection, single room and 5 min walk to transport)

    3. Then the site automatically forwards the guest's details on to the families that match what both parties are looking for.

    4. It will be up to the family to contact the guest, as he or she won't actually get your contact details unless you give them.


  • What is the usual fee?
    1. Currently it's approx € 190 per week per guest in own room with breakfast and evening meal for June to September, and € 165 for rest of the year.
    2. These rates will be modified by the host family depending on location, distance to transport and so on.
