Imagine this: you're planning your next holiday, and instead of booking a hotel or Airbnb, you're searching for a space that feels like home. But not just any home - one where your kids can run around, where there are toys already waiting, and where the vibe is more “this is our living room” than “this is a guest room.”

That’s where Keybento comes in.

Think of us as Airbnb with a twist: we’re a platform that transforms family travel through home swapping, offering a more personal, stress-free, and budget-friendly way to explore the world.

Travelling is a great way to explore new cultures and open our mind to the world. However, over the last couple of years, travelling has surged and over-tourism has become a buzzword in the travel industry.

We've all seen the headlines: popular holiday destinations from Barcelona to Edinburgh are struggling with overcrowded streets, spiking rent prices, and of course the Airbnb effect, where entire neighbourhoods shift from homes to short-term rentals.

But, there's a way to travel that is preserving the local cultures and gives you a richer, more local experience - home exchange.

We’ve all been there. You're planning a trip, trying to find the right accommodation, but every option seems either overpriced or underwhelming.

Hotels often come with high price tags and limited space, especially when travelling with family.  Even holiday rentals like Airbnb, while offering more room, can sometimes come with hidden fees and still might lack that personal touch.

When you’re travelling as a family, it can be hard to find a place that truly feels like home.

So, what’s the solution when traditional options don’t quite cut it?

So, you’ve stumbled upon the idea of home swapping, and something about it just made sense. The thought of trading homes with someone in a different city, experiencing a new place like a true local, and saving money in the process — it all sounds pretty great, right?

But then you bring it up with your partner, and, well, they’re not exactly on board.

Yet..

—...we never want to stand in the way of you booking an available home or be caught out by timing. We’ve designed everything to give you max flexibility.

—Kind of like booking an Airbnb.

—Kind of. Just more human.
