What is Homestay?
It is defined as an act by a homeowner to open the doors of their home/house for transients who are willing to pay rental fees during their stay . Homestays can last from one day to a month depending on the need. An owner has to seek accreditation from the local tourism sector for accreditation. This is an income generating business especially for the locals in the islands. But they must adhere to regulations set by the local tourism gov't or Dept. of Tourism.

1. It's Cheap. During low season a homestay may just cost you as low as Php300 or $7 a night per room.
2. You can cook ! Or arrange your meals to be prepared by the homeowner for a minimal fee. Nothing beats a good homecooked meal during a vacation.
