homestays

Homestays are accommodations where travelers stay in a local person's home instead of a hotel. This arrangement allows guests to experience the local culture firsthand, often through shared meals or activities with the host. Homestays provide a more authentic and personalized experience, fostering cultural exchange and community connection. They can be arrangements through specialized platforms or informal connections, offering a variety of environments—from urban apartments to rural cottages. This option often provides a cost-effective alternative to hotels, along with the opportunity for deeper insights into local customs and lifestyles.
