“Our two year-old still asks about our hosts Ela and Steve”
“We stayed in Ela and Steve’s home and spent couple of hours with them, and for our daughter it felt like we visited distant relatives—the human experience was the meaningful part of our trip. (That, and the beach.)”

"It makes a big difference to have a place where you feel safe—like a base camp—when you have kids."
“That’s why Keybento is such a great solution for us. When we are traveling to another country, it’s reassuring to know that we’ll have a home equipped with all the essentials and comforts we’ll need. From there, we can roam around. And while it might not be exactly like our own home, that’s part of what makes it exciting!"
Keybento is a new way to home swap:
You don’t need to swap at the same time. And you get a comfortable family home to stay in.
What people think home swapping is
Two families swapping homes with one another on the same dates.
You have no control over who stays in your home.
What you do when you want a cheap holiday.
More complex and requiring more coordination and organisation than hosting with Airbnb.
What home swapping with Keybento actually is
“It’s designed for families so it was much more flexible. We hosted and got credits. And we used those credits to go somewhere else.” ~Arnaud B.K.
“We built a relationship before the family came over. I already knew who was coming, so I had no stress”. ~Olivier M.
“It’s quite the opposite. The homes are much nicer and better equipped because you’re staying in someone’s home.” ~Arnaud B.K
“The only effort was tidying the house, but the before and after cleaning is taken care of by Keybento cleaners.” ~Olivier M.
"We needed a home for summer holidays-Keybento curated 3 homes for us. All suited to our family."
"As usual, we were worried about leaving our home empty for the week-even though we live in a safe area, empty homes are easy targets for robbery. But our home wasn't empty. We stayed in touch while we were away. And everything was cared for as we would care for it."
Keybento is for families who expect to stay in homes as nice as theirs.
Wherever they go - and for whatever reason they travel.
Why families join Keybento
To visit grandparents
Spend quality time with grandparents without everyone squeezing into their childhood bedroom.
To receive fertility treatment
Enjoy a private space in a new city for multiple weeks during fertility treatment (without stressing their bank account further).
To try a new city before relocating
Tested a new city—and country—before relocating. So the kids feel excited when the move finally happens.
To turn work trip into a family holiday
Made the most of a work trip to a different continent and have their family joined them. (They don’t need to sneak them into their hotel room.)
To have people look after their pets and plants
Keep their pets happy and plants alive while they are away. Without bothering their loved ones to “swing by.”
To work abroad for the holiday
Spend 2 months in the mountains on a working holiday while the little ones enjoy organised local outdoor activities.
You don't need to swap at the same time
You host and earn credits. And you use those credits to book other homes when it suits you
Travel
Host
“It's not necessary to exchange houses at the same time. It's possible, but not required. Using credits makes it easier, as it gives us the flexibility to book whenever we want and host whomever we want, whenever we want.”
“I’m worried about people trashing my house.”
We’ve all heard the Airbnb horror stories. You don’t want that in your house. We don’t either.
Here’s what we do to make sure that doesn’t happen:
You always have final say in who stays in your home
All members are professionally screened and background checked. Every time they book.
You’re covered for up to €50,000 in theft and damage
Say goodbye to leaving your home empty
"When we host someone, it's the same thing as having a friend coming over, or my sister or whoever."
"We've not had anything unexpected happen while we were hosting. You speak a lot beforehand. You know what time they're arriving. They arrive, you give them the keys (or you leave it in the lockbox). You stay in touch over the phone and it's just people like us. They’re just families like ours. We’ve the same mindset.”
