  We present multicolour images of the hosts of three z=2 QSOs previously
detected in R-band by our group. The luminosities, colours and sizes of the
hosts overlap with those of actively star-forming galaxies in the nearby
Universe. Radial profiles over the outer resolved areas roughly follow de
Vaucouleur or exponential disk laws. These properties give support to the host
galaxy interpretation of the extended light around QSOs at high-redshift. The
rest-frame UV colours and upper limits derived for the rest-frame UV-optical
colours are inconsistent with the hypothesis of a scattered halo of light from
the active nucleus by a simple optically-thin scattering process produced by
dust or hot electrons. If the UV light is indeed stellar, star formation rates
of hundreds of solar masses per year are implied, an order of magnitude larger
than field galaxies at similar redshifts and above. This might indicate that
the QSO phenomenon (at least the high-luminosity one) is preferentially
acompanied by enhanced galactic activity at high-redshifts.
