Host family

Perfect solution to improve your English and benefit from a high level of cultural immersion in Ireland.

The following platforms are devoted to placing students with host families:

Our partner: Host Family Dublin Ireland (HFDI)

As regards registration on the website, 2 options:

  • 1) Agency booking :
    The agency invoces you (so, you don’t pay the family directly)
    Procedure: on the website / Accommodation / Individual / when you click on the form to fill out, please choose the “booking type” from school/agency.

You will receive an email with the invoice to request payment. If the invoice is quite large, you can request a payment in installments with no extra cost.

  • 2) Private booking :
    You pay the host family directly who decides their own rates. They will also request a deposit (which is not the case with the 1st option).
    Procedure: register your own details on the website / Accommodation / Individual / when you click on the form to fill out, please choose the “booking type” personal.

You then receive more information by email from HFDI. There is a fee to pay when you agree to book one of the HFDI’s offers.

  • Be careful when searching, as there are many frauds. To avoid them, here are some tips:

– Select ads with multiple photos and views of the room, bathroom, common areas, etc.

– Select ads with a detailed description including available amenities, rent details (if utilities are included), deposit details, availability dates, neighbourhood information, etc.

– Select ads with all the advertiser’s contacts (phone number, email address, Whatsapp).

– Check the addresses on Google Map, Google Earth to make sure they are not false addresses.

– Be particularly careful with ads between €500 and €600.

  • A guarantor may be required. There are several possibilities:

– an Irish guarantor can be required when booking student accommodation in Ireland. This is usually a requirement when a student is looking to book and pay with an instalment plan – so multiple payment across the year.

– International guarantors may be accepted by some landlords (student accommodation providers) but it depends on each landlords’ policy.

– a full payment in advance for the whole academic year is sometimes required when international students don’t have a guarantor. That’s a very common thing.

  • A security deposit may be asked equivalent to one month’s rent or more, depending on the accommodation.

– To secure your accommodation, the first month’s rent may be required. Strongly unadvised to make any payment before signing a contract. All further payments (including security deposit) and length of rent should figure in the tenancy agreement.
