Based on an R-band imaging survey of six high-redshift (z~2) and high-luminosity (MB≲–28 mag) QSOs, we report the detection of extensions in two radio-quiet and one radio-loud QSO. The extensions are most likely due to the host galaxies of these QSOs, with luminosities of at least 3–7 per cent of the QSO luminosity. The most likely values for the luminosities of the host galaxies lie in the range 6–18 per cent of the QSO luminosities.
