Why become a HomestayMatch host in Pomona

Because we make your hosting experience easy.



Becoming a HomestayMatch host means you’ll be benefiting from our 20 years of experience and expertise. Since 1998, we’ve connected thousands of host families with international students, providing them with continuous local support by trained housing coordinators. We help you every step of the way because we understand the unique challenges of adjusting to a new culture. We also know from experience that becoming a host brings tremendous rewards: you will broaden your horizons, forge lifelong friendships and earn extra income at the same time.

How it works

If you are a warm and welcoming person, interested in a cross-cultural experience and have an extra furnished bedroom with a bed, desk, closet space and adequate lighting, you are all set to become a host.

Apply and Get Verified

After completing our easy 4-step application process, you will hear from one of our team members who will schedule a home visit. We will meet you, verify your location, and check your home’s condition.

Get Approved and Build an Awesome Profile

Once approved, you will create a personal profile to help prospective students learn more about you. Your personal profile is the first impression you make as a host, so make sure it’s a good one. Tell us about you and your space. Creating your profile is easy, but if you need help, don’t worry, we will guide you through it.

Connect and Match

You will receive booking requests from students that would like to stay with you. You can review the booking details such as the student’s name, country, age, duration of stay, etc., and then decide if you’d like to accept the student. All communication is done through our system, keeping your information private until you accept their booking request.

Meet, Experience and Learn

Once the booking process is finalized and your student settles in, payment will be on the way! All that is left is to enjoy each other’s company, experience the cultural exchange, and earn extra income. And before you know it, you will be an expert at hosting international students!

Hello and I like to welcome you to my home. I enjoy meeting new friends from many different countries. I like to share my life here in the USA to others who want to know about life in America, I don't mind showing places of interest or act as your tour guide around Southern California. I like to learn also about your life in your country, about your families and culture. I like to cook and share my meals with great company and better conversations. I like to go to the ocean and take in the sights and sounds, spend time exploring shops and restaurants. I am single but spend my free time with my extended family and friends.
