How many people can a large-group homestay typically sleep?

It varies by property, from around 15 up to 50 guests depending on the number of bedrooms and whether hall or floor sleeping space is included.

Can several families split the booking cost?

Yes, this is a common arrangement for reunions, though the host will usually still want one person as the main contact and payer.

Do these homestays have a common hall or function space?

Many villa and bungalow-style homestays include a hall or large living area suited to group meals and gatherings, but it is worth confirming the size before booking.

Homestay for large groups and family reunions

A homestay for a large group is a different booking problem from a homestay for one family. The priority shifts from cosy amenities to raw capacity: how many people can sleep comfortably, how many bathrooms there are, and whether there is a common hall big enough for everyone to eat and sit together.

Whole-house exclusive rentals suit reunions best, since you are not sharing common areas with unrelated guests.
Check how sleeping capacity is actually arranged: some listings count mattresses on the floor or a hall as extra capacity, which matters if you have elderly guests or young children.
A communal kitchen big enough for group cooking, and enough parking for multiple cars, are often the deciding factors for large bookings, more than any single bedroom.
Confirm the maximum headcount the host allows. Some properties cap overnight guests separately from daytime visitors for a gathering.

Booking early matters more here than for a couple's trip, since properties with the bedroom count and hall space for a big reunion are a smaller pool to begin with.

What it costs

Pricing for group bookings is usually quoted as a whole-property rate rather than per room, and depends on the number of bedrooms, total capacity and whether it is a weekday or weekend stay. Splitting the total cost across several families is common and worth agreeing on before booking rather than after.
