House Rules
These rules are mandatory for all guests and host families of the Kaz Homestay program (kazakhstanhomestay.com). Following these rules is the foundation of a comfortable and safe stay.
Rules for Guests
- Guests must bring their own personal toiletries (shampoo, toothpaste, personal towels, etc.).
- Guests are responsible for any damage caused to the property.
- Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited in the host family's home.
- Inviting overnight guests without prior approval from the host is not allowed.
- Return home by 22:00. If you are running late, please notify your host in advance via WhatsApp.
- Keep your room clean and tidy at all times.
- Clean up after yourself in the bathroom or shower area.
- If you will not be having breakfast or dinner at home, please inform your host before 15:00 so the family does not prepare extra food.
- Do not bring strangers into the house without the host's knowledge and consent.
- Help with light household chores when possible.
- Do not share personal information about the host family with third parties.
- If you wish to leave before the agreed date, you must notify the Platform in writing at least 1 month in advance. Otherwise, in accordance with the Offer Contract, a penalty equivalent to the cost of 3 months' stay will be charged.
Rules for Host Families
- Always knock before entering the guest's room.
- Do not share the guest's personal information with third parties.

- Maintain cleanliness in all common and shared areas of the house.
Cultural Context
In Kazakh culture, it is common to show interest in guests — asking about family, work, and the purpose of their visit. This is a sign of warmth and hospitality, not an intrusion of privacy. You are always free to decline answering any questions you consider personal.
House-Specific Rules
Each host family may have additional rules: pets, quiet hours, religious restrictions, kitchen access, etc. These rules are listed on the host family's profile and communicated to the guest before the stay is confirmed.
