Stay with Air/VRBO or add others?

[Bruce Woodruff]

In our first year of STR's and have just used Air and VRBO...wanted to keep things simple, avoid double bookings, and just plain learn the business.

I'm considering adding Bookins.com and/or Trip Advisor.....Any reason I should? Or just stay with what I got?

PS - We are booked pretty fully most months......

 My wife and I both have experiences with booking.com (her managing several hotels and I had used it working for a hostel) and we avoid it like the plague. They take a % and if anything goes wrong you are on your own. At least with airbnb and vrbo you can get someone on the phone. Booking.com is straight trash.
