FAQ

How do I get better placement in Vrbo’s search results and stay competitive? Owners and managers who meet up with Vrbo’s Marketplace Standards are often placed higher in search results. Therefore, we recommend improving your property’s performance by focusing on the following key metrics:

Cancellation rate – Avoid initiating cancellations whenever possible. Because this may negatively impact your cancellation rate. Travelers can initiate a cancellation request from their traveler account, which will not impact your cancellation rate.
Bookings – Accepting most booking requests boosts traveler confidence in your property and our platform.
Acceptance rate – Travelers feel frustrated when they find out a property is unavailable after they’ve requested a booking. So, by accepting a lot of booking-requests will increase traveler confidence in your property and will improve your acceptance rate.
Reviews – Encourage travelers to submit feedback after their stay at your property. When you accept online bookings, travelers will automatically receive review requests after their stay is complete.

When and how does Vrbo charge commission? Vrbo bills commission monthly. In the first week of the month, you’ll receive an invoice for all stays completed the prior month. In addition, you have access to a monthly statement of all bookings and invoices completed in the previous month. You can access it in your Vrbo dashboard How Is Vrbo offering support?
