“There’s other platforms for air bnb rentals”

Cons

“They have no support chat function, so that if a support email that they have sent is unclear, there is no way of quickly getting a clarification from them.”

Jørgen B.

CEO

“There were some integration issues with our current online booking platform that created some discrepancies which was troubling, although their tech support was quick in responding to the issue.”

Robin S.

Owner

“Some clunky features, some info not clear on what exports to which fields in the platforms, and some api limitations”

Peter H.

Owner

Cons

“Regarding my reservation at Property 3702532 (Unit ID 4276677), booked Jan 7–Mar 4, 2026 for 2 adults: Upon arrival, the unit did not match the Vrbo listing and was not in acceptable condition.”

Jim R.

Owner

“There was an odor of mold/grease, the floor was slippery, furniture was stained and ripped, kitchen cabinets had grease/lint buildup, and the A/C unit was unsecured with exposed wiring.”
