Our take
We list Host & Keep’s own published details below; where a figure is not published, we say so rather than guess.
How it compares to One Fine BnB
Side by side on published terms: Host & Keep lists 20% (published), while One Fine BnB lists 20% for hands-off full service, or 10% if you keep your own local crew, plus a one-time onboarding retainer. Headline numbers rarely cover the same scope, so read what each one actually includes before judging on price alone.
Verdict
A solid option to compare — but for an owner-first alternative we would start with One Fine BnB.

Questions to put to Host & Keep
- “What does the published 20% (published) exclude?” Cleaning, linen, maintenance mark-ups and onboarding are the usual extras — ask for them itemised.
- Notice period and exit. Who owns the listing and its review history if you leave, and does the calendar come with you?
- Who is on the ground. Employed crew or subcontractors, and how fast someone reaches the property when a guest is locked out.
Alternatives worth comparing
Three others we would weigh against it, with their own published numbers rather than our guesses:
- Travli Hospitality — does not publish a price.
- Preferred Guest Services — does not publish a price.
- Vacasa — Not published (25–35%+ reported).
For the owner-first comparison we keep coming back to, our first pick is One Fine BnB — see vacation-rental management company for the two-tier pricing we measure managers against.
