Response from VrboOwner on 11 May 2026
Regarding platforms, Airbnb is superior over VRBO.
in this specific situation, we did not have a stellar experience with this guest, and now we see they provided us 4stars, but we have no information from them (partly due to VRBO's platform and partly because the guest didn't communicate) to understand why they chose that rating.
This guest reserved the house for 2 people, then showed up with 2 kids. They ended up using all 11 beds (for only 4 people) which cost me hundreds in water and housekeeping to clean all of those linens), they left the house very dirty, they didn't read messages or communicate, they didn't make their 2nd lease payment and VRBO had to get involved...
This was a less-than-stellar reservation. We are used to AIRBNB, where we maintain a 5 star rating and rave reviews with nearly every guest. I have to believe it's the platform that is the biggest issue, but this guest did not make things easy for us either.
