Student reviews about Homestay (in Antigua or villages)
Jan-Niklas
"The room was not a 5/5 by German standards - but that's exactly what made it special ;)
Eric
"Very cozy and hospitable.
Mariëtte
"Very loving
Diane
"The lunches were satisfactory but the other meals were not very nutritious and of insufficient quantity. I had to buy protein foods to sustain me (peanuts, yogurt and cheese).
Corrine
"Blanca was one of the most caring humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting
Seongjo
"Warm and nice family. But the rooms are so closed to each other so I could not sleep well because of the sounds of snoring.
But we had a great laugh together so it was not a big deal to me.
