Guides for every booking platform
How to list, message, price, and manage reviews on the platforms hosts use — plus building your own direct-booking channel.
Airbnb
The most widely used short-term-rental marketplace globally, strong for leisure and unique stays, with built-in messaging, reviews, and host tools.
Strong for: Leisure travel, first-time guests, unique and design-forward stays
Vrbo
A whole-home vacation-rental marketplace popular with families and groups in many Western markets. Whole-property focus means no shared-space listings.
Strong for: Families and groups booking whole homes, especially in the US
Booking.com
A very large global OTA spanning hotels and short-term rentals, strong for international and last-minute demand, often with higher commissions than some peers.
Strong for: International reach and last-minute bookings
Direct booking
Taking bookings through your own website and channels instead of an OTA. Keeps more revenue per booking but requires marketing, a booking system, and guest trust.
Strong for: Repeat guests, brand-building, and reducing OTA dependence
