Less Slogging, More Coordination
Homestay agencies and schools can coordinate so much easier and faster with Homestay Systems.
Hosts can access and update their homestay family profiles online, see compatible study-tour groups or individual hosting opportunities based on distance, availability and other filters, and can apply for any hosting opportunities with a clear view of hosting requirements and fields to express preferences.
Coordinators can see who has applied for each study-tour group or individual guest and can process applicants with a clear sense of their hosting preferences, family photo, inspection scores, guest reviews, average review score, and other considerations. When confirming a homestay family, declining them or adding them to the backup list, a personalized and customisable email can be sent to the homestay family with a click.
Homestay Systems makes it easy for coordinators to promote hosting opportunities to a custom filtered list of compatible homestay families with mass Email or SMS campaigns including personalized information. Coordinators can see SMS responses and can also send individual Email and SMS messages.
Admin can give coordination staff accounts permission to access any homestay family profiles and to do anything on behalf of host families who prefer to communicate by phone, and much more.
Homestay Systems makes so much more possible and easy, such as easy guest-list matching with confirmed host families, auto-calculating homestay payments for batch-file bank processing, SMS updates to all or some of the host families who are confirmed or backup for a visiting group or individual, and gathering feedback.
Ultimately we save homestay coordinators time and improve processing speed, ease and accuracy by performing many homestay coordination processes automatically or with easy quick button clicks.

About Us
Websight Creative started creating Homestay Systems in 2016 to support Choice Homestay‘s growth in Queensland, Australia.
Homestay Systems now enables Choice Homestay to perform existing processes quicker and easier than ever before, as well as many advanced processes which were not practicable before. This has enabled Choice Homestay to provide advanced homestay coordination to clients and over 3000 guests per year, as well as over 2000 approved homestay families in Queensland, with a small competent core team.
In light of Choice Homestay’s success with Homestay Systems here in Australia, we decided in 2018 to re-create a new and further improved commercially available version of Homestay Systems for homestay agencies around the globe to operate easier and better as well. We firmly believe we are making our world a better place to live by enabling caring homestay coordinators to make easier and better homestay connections and to better support homestay experiences and the creation of ongoing relationships and appreciation for one-another.
This version of Homestay Systems has been created to be highly customizable with varying account permission options, as well as extra accessible, secure, functional and quick, while providing a super-collaborative real-time view of coordination data without needing to refresh. We’re proud to say the outcome of our creative efforts are evolutionary and we look forward to sharing more sense of Homestay Systems with more homestay coordinators here and abroad. Please feel welcome to contact us for more sense of homestay coordination potentials
