What does it mean when a host is “verified”?
Verified hosts complete a comprehensive screening and onboarding process designed to ensure the highest standards of safety, comfort, and care for students. This includes a criminal background check, home inspection, and mandatory onboarding and training so hosts fully understand their responsibilities and our expectations.
In addition:
-
Every home is reviewed by our team to confirm it is safe, clean, and suitable for student living.
-
Hosts receive ongoing support, guidance, and regular check-ins throughout the student’s stay, ensuring any concerns are addressed quickly and thoughtfully.
-
All hosts are trained to understand cultural differences, respect student privacy, and provide appropriate daily care, communication, and supervision.
-
Many of our verified hosts have years of experience welcoming international students and are committed to creating a warm, inclusive, and supportive home environment.
Our verification process is designed to give families and students peace of mind—ensuring that every student feels safe, welcomed, respected, and fully supported from the moment they arrive.
