Frequently asked questions

Why are our homestay prices are cheaper than the median market price?

 

In order to make our homestays more affordable for everyone, our school does not take any cut from what our students pay to their families. This is why payments are made directly to your host family, and cash is the only method of payment accepted (Homestays are not businesses, so unfortunately they can't accept credit cards). If you know you won't be able to pay in cash, a wire transfer may be available as an alternative way to pay your host family.

What will my host family provide?

 

  1. Regular conversation in Spanish.

  2. A private, well illuminated and ventilated room.

  3. A nutritious breakfast every day (for those students that choose a breakfast and dinner option, the host family will share dinner with 
    students each evening)

  4. A desk inside your bedroom or a space in a 
    shared area you can use to study and complete homework.

  5. Access to a shared bathroom (or private bathroom, as the case may be)

  6. A house key

Is laundry included with my homestay?

 

Unfortunately since weather in Lima is very humid, most families do not wash their clothes at home as it takes several days to dry off (also, apartments and houses in Lima are small, so not every family has enough space to hang their clothes). Instead, most families choose to use laundries where they can get their clothes clean in just a couple hours for cheap (normally a regular size load will cost you around $3-$7, including washing, drying, and folding your clothes for you). 
Your family will point out to you one or more laundries near your house where you can take your clothes to wash cheaply and quickly.

What time can I check-in/check-out?

 

On request and upon availability, we will try to make special arrangements for your
arrival and/or departure to/from our homestay. In such cases, please indicate 
your check in time on our registration form or by sending an email to contact@peruwayna.com

Can I have guests?

 

Students will be able to invite guests only with the knowledge and permission of their host family and during visiting hours (daily from 10am to 9pm). 

Unfortunately, because of security concerns, 

families do not allow non-students to stay overnight.

Are there spaces for couples? 

 

Yes! However, please note that since we have a limited number of rooms that can host couples, first send us an email to check availability during your travel dates. Also, please note that couples staying together in the same room will get a 15% discount per person on top of the regular price per night.
