Our Story
In the summer of 2017 we began our journey on the path of entrepreneurship, to fund our venture we used Airbnb to rent out properties we owned as well as the spare rooms in the London home we were living in.
Nowadays, guests expect hotel quality amenities, extraordinary personal service and on-call services when booking a short-term rental – something that can be hard to keep if you have other commitments. We experienced first-hand the need for a way to automate marketing, guest management, key exchange, and turnover and found no company operating within our area.

We began taking other properties and experimenting with different techniques to increase revenue per listing, we were amazed with the difference in income generated by focusing on revenue and search optimisation.
And with that, Keey was born. Today, we manage whole properties across the UK, we envision a solution that not only solves a complicated problem but also simplifies and promotes frequent and enjoyable travel. Keey provides seamless, full-service management solutions that allows hosts to enjoy greater mobility while knowing their guests rest easy.

However, the journey is not always smooth.
Handling the process of sourcing, and managing a constant stream of tenants can indeed present its own set of challenges. Responding to messages at 1 am, searching for a trustworthy and dependable cleaner, interrupting your dinner to deliver spare keys – without a host partner, you’ll discover that hosting guests from around the world on platforms like Airbnb doesn’t provide freedom, but rather ties you down.

We’ll take care of the cleaning, handle guest communications, and manage the listings. Our support extends to maintenance, pricing advice, and maximising occupancy as well. With 1000 bookings managed across UK, we’ve been shaping exceptional and contemporary hosting since 2019.
