Really bad quality app. Platform is fine as a whole. But their app is terrible.

Really bad interface. Doesn’t display sent messages. Consistently doesn’t load properly when switching between properties. Causes lots of confusion and mishaps with guests.

Experience with VRBO. Mark.

VRBO has been most accommodating and efficient with their platform. Very pleased with our experience.

Not 1 booking after 2 years

I’ve tried using this app and their site to optimise my listing, filled in all fields, used their pricing and promotions, and not one booking after 2 years.

Increased fees

I don’t see a value in increased fees, I had an agent give a renter some questionable advice regarding patents. I don’t feel like there’s the owners best interest is the priority
