Airbnb vs VRBO - booking rates

Anna Batchelor
Posted

Hi all

I'm curious if others have experienced this. I have gotten perhaps 20x more bookings for my STR through VRBO than through AirBnB. I would have expected the opposite through my personal experience as a traveler. Any ideas why this might be? Is Airbnb maybe hurrying me (I've already boosted my listing there by updating photos which is a great tip).

Do you guys list on any other sites? Where is your most successful listing posted?
