Why host with StayLingo?

Steady extra income

Language stays last weeks, not nights — longer bookings mean fewer changeovers and more predictable income than tourist rentals.

The world at your dinner table

Your guests come to live your language and culture. Every stay is a cultural exchange — many hosts stay friends with guests for years.

You are in full control

Set your own price, house rules and availability calendar. Every request needs your approval — nothing is booked without your yes.

Protected from day one

Guests verify their identity, payouts arrive via Stripe after each confirmed arrival, and a 48-hour damage window plus dispute support backs you up.

No teaching degree needed

Guests learn from everyday life: meals together, errands, conversation. If you are a certified teacher you can also sell lessons as an add-on.

How to become a host

Create your listing

Photos, room details, your languages, price and house rules — about 15 minutes, completely free.

Verify your identity

Upload an ID and selfie. Our team reviews your listing and approves it — usually within a day.

Approve your first request

Learners send requests with their profile and goals. Chat safely on the platform, then accept the ones that fit your home.

Welcome your guest, get paid

The guest pays before arriving; once arrival is confirmed, your payout is transferred to your bank via Stripe.

Hosting questions, answered

Does it cost anything to list my home?: No. Listing is free. StayLingo keeps a 15% service fee from each completed booking — if you earn nothing, you pay nothing.
How and when do I get paid?: Connect your bank account once via Stripe. After each guest confirms arrival, your payout is transferred automatically.
Can I decline a request?: Always. Nothing is booked without your explicit approval, and you can pause your calendar anytime.
What if a guest damages something?: Report it within 48 hours of check-in from your dashboard. Deposits and the payout freeze while our team resolves compensation.
Do I have to teach lessons?: No. Guests learn through daily life and conversation. Formal lessons are an optional paid add-on for certified teachers.
Who can become a host?: Anyone with a spare room, a welcoming home and native or fluent command of the language guests come to practise — families, couples and singles alike.
