Our take
Host & Keep provides a published 20% management fee, covering in-house cleaning and tourist-tax compliance. The company's market presence is noted as local, operating in specific counties and Belize, with the number of listings undisclosed.
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 straightforward option for owners in their service areas, though it's worth comparing their 20% fee to owner-first alternatives like One Fine BnB.

What we would ask 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
If you are drawing up a shortlist, these are the closest comparisons we would put beside it — each with its own published price, or a note that there isn’t one:
- Casago — Not published (set locally).
- HostWise — 17–25% (published).
- Natural Retreats — does not publish a price.
