They better get a new system. This website just doesnot function properly. Seems to be problematic.

For fourteen years I advertised on VRBO... I was very happy and my home in Hilton Head SC was always full... always rented... starting about 4 years ago when Homeaway and then Expedia took over things started to go down... bad enough they started to raise the rates... up, up,, up. But what put the cherry on the cake was the "added fee" charged to the guests for using there site... are you kidding me... get away from these money grubbing --do nothing-- people... think about it... all they do is hitch there wagon to your horse WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT and then have the nerve to charge the person who wants to rent the horse a fee for doing so... I know longer do business with them... quality has gone DOWN>>>DOWN>>>DOWN spend the money on a web designer... at least you get to keep every dime YOU bring in... This company is the pits for sure... also they MONITOR your personal email with your guests... beware...

Have used VRBO for over 12 years... no more... since they were taken over by Homeaway ie Expedia... the sight has gone down the tubes... the prices went up, up, up, the value down, down, down. Now they have the unmitigated gall to start charging MY GUESTS fees... by the way... just tell your guests to deal with you privately so that they don't have to pay the ridiculous fees being charged by Homeaway. For guests who don't want to send checks... let them pay thru PayPal... they still will save a bungle. Homeaway has gotten WAY to greedy. May have gone for a minimal $20.00 fee for BS processing or something of the like however when they start charging $100's of dollars they have crossed the line. I see this web site going the way of the PS3... Sony made a mistake that was so horrific that to this day they have not recovered. I see the same for the future of Homeaway.

First let me start out by saying my husband and I have been renting out home thru VRBO for over 10 years…By and large we have been pleased using their platform for renting our home. Any way we received an offer to add our home to AIRBNB.com for free… seemed like a good deal…. WRONG…. This platform and business model is terrible… FIRST and most importantly to all person advertising on AIRBNB.com chances are VERY good that their "host guarantee" does not cover apartments, villas and condos which make up 90% of the vacation rentals owned… this is buried in the fine print… this site is a scam… I am shutting down my site and want nothing to do with them… The whole idea of turning over your home to an unknown guest without first communicating with them is absurd. SECOND…they allow guests and OWNERS to cancel right up to the moment of arrival…. Can you believe that…. YOU get NO money until guests have checked in……. Absurd business model when you are dealing with your property …we are not the Holiday Inn. … right now we receive a deposit with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival. VRBO guarantees to the guest that the person renting on their site has been vetted and that they will receive their money back should there be a problem…AIRBNB…NOTHING… this web site is like I said a sham and at least a very poor business model…who the heck thought this one up…. READ the fine print…. ALSO GUESTS beware…. airbnb.com adds a 12% commission that you pay…. So you know that good deal you think you are getting…. Guess again…. Stick to vrbo.com …. We pay to advertise but at least we get to talk with our guests and make our own financial arrangements with them… and guests are completely covered by VRBO… stay away from airbnb.com
