A room in a real home
You stay in someone's flat or house, not a hotel corridor. The listing shows the room and the home, so you know what you're booking before you send a request.
HOMESTAYS WITH LGBTQ+ HOSTS
Gay and lesbian bed and breakfast and homestays
Stay with a local LGBTQ+ host. For gay, lesbian, bi and trans travellers.
A homestay is a room in someone's home, and here that someone is an LGBTQ+ local. You get a bed, breakfast if it's on offer, and a person who actually lives in the city you're visiting. Hosts list on Among Our People, which takes no commission on bookings.

WHOEVER YOU ARE
A room in the right home for you
Maybe you're a man on a city break who'd rather spend the hotel money on dinners out, with a local to tell you where to go. Maybe you're a woman travelling alone who'd rather stay with another woman, or a trans traveller who wants to know before you land that the person you're staying with is glad to have you. Or there are two of you in your sixties, after a quiet house and a proper breakfast. Hosts say who they'd love to welcome and how they live at home, from early nights and a dog on the sofa to a sociable house or a clothing-optional one. Each stay shows how well it matches you.
What staying in someone's home is like
Breakfast, if it's on offer
Hosts can add breakfast at a set price per person, shown on the listing. Tick it when you book, or leave it.
Someone who knows the area
They live there. Ask where they'd eat on a Friday night, or the easiest way across town without a taxi.
Arrive as yourselves
Two women or two men checking in together is ordinary here. Hosts list on an LGBTQ+ platform, so they know who's coming.
How it works
- 1
Find a stay
Search by city or neighbourhood. Each listing shows the room, the price per night and whether breakfast is on offer. You can also see who you'd stay with: their photos and, if they've chosen to share it, their gender, orientation and how they live at home.
- 2
Create your free profile
A photo and a few lines help a host know what to expect, which makes it easier to say yes quickly. It works both ways: you know who you're staying with, and they know who's coming.
- 3
Book or request
Some hosts take bookings straight away, so you press Book now and it's done. Others reply to a request within 24 hours, and your dates are held while they decide. Add breakfast if you want it.

Pay your host, not us
Among Our People doesn't take a cut of any booking.
Every new listing is checked before it goes public, and you can report or block anyone from their listing, profile or chat. There's more on our How we look out for you page.
FOR HOSTS
Have a spare room? Welcome LGBTQ+ travellers
List a room in your home, set your own price and decide whether to offer breakfast and instant booking. We don't take a commission on your bookings. We'd rather charge a small, fixed listing fee than a cut of every stay, so a busy summer doesn't cost you more. While our launch offer runs, listing is free once your profile is complete. After that it's still free to list, with nothing to pay until your first enquiry, then €99 a year or €10 a month.

Questions people ask
It's a room in a local person's home, with breakfast if it's on offer. On Among Our People the hosts list on an LGBTQ+ platform, so you're staying with someone who's expecting LGBTQ+ guests. People also call it a homestay.
No. It's for lesbian, gay, bi and trans travellers, and hosts can be any gender. Each one says who they'd love to welcome, and every stay shows how well it matches you.
In a hotel you deal with a front desk. With a holiday rental you have the whole place to yourself. In a homestay you have your own room in a home where your host lives, so there's someone around to ask. If you'd rather have a whole place, Among Our People has vacation rentals too.
Every new listing is checked before it goes public. Before you book, you can read your host's profile, look for the verified badge (hosts only get it after an ID document and selfie check) and message them with any questions. You can report or block anyone from their listing, profile or chat.
Joining is free for guests. You pay the nightly price, plus breakfast if you add it, and Among Our People takes no booking fee or commission. Hosts pay a small listing fee instead, which is free while our launch offer runs.
Create a free profile, then list your room with photos, a nightly price and who you'd like to welcome. Add breakfast if you want to offer it. We check every new listing before it goes live.
