Where could you stay in Singapore for 3 nights? While there are many accommodation options you can choose from in Singapore, a Singapore homestay offers you a genuine, authentic experience in Singapore. The best way to experience a country is by simply living it.
What is a homestay?
A homestay is a popular form of collaborative lodging where visitors stay together in a local house or apartment with other guests. The length of stay may vary from a night to even years. The homestay could be available for short-term visitors looking to visit/ tour the country or for students participating in study abroad programs. By residing in a homestay, homestay participants get to experience & appreciate the local culture better, hence making the trip even more rewarding.

Why a homestay?
You receive personal attention and get to interact with the local host. Each homestay functions differently but are generally open to share their local culture and places to visit in Singapore. Depending on your host, some may even go the extent to help you get cheaper attraction tickets around Singapore and introduce you to their favourite local delicacies. In a hotel setting, things are slightly more formal and the reception is quite likely to recommend the ‘typical’ places to you in Singapore (their standard SOP). Programs at the homestay are more flexible and you get to experience the real gems in Singapore and around the area you are residing in. These are places a tourist may not be able to find online.
