Invoice from VRBO Billing Department As VRBO owners for the past 20 years. We recently encountered an issue where we were charged for a cancellation due to a guest's failure to provide their information for CHECK-IN within 24 hours of booking. Despite receiving a reference number from customer service to cancel the invoice by their Billing department, we continued to receive invoices. Each time we contacted customer service, we were told to wait for the Billing department's response. Eventually, we received a new invoice with double the original price, claiming we hadn't paid. After another call to customer service, we were once again told to wait for the Billing department. This cycle repeated, with additional charges being applied each time. And this case remains unresolved and still waiting to hear back from the Billing Department. We're feeling physically stressed by the actions of VRBO's Billing Department, as they keep increasing the amount each time, despite us being told to be patient and wait for the cancellation. We haven't received any payment from this guest, so there's no money to charge on their end. It's been over two months, and we haven't heard anything from VRBO except for receiving new invoices stating they're charging us double and triple the original amount. The cancellation issues with VRBO are really taking a toll on us physically. The following day, a guest booked our place through VRBO for a period already booked through Airbnb. Our VRBO calendar clearly showed the booking, as I had manually blocked the dates as a precaution. However, someone/system removed the Airbnb booking from the calendar, allowing for a new instant booking through VRBO. When we contacted customer service about the overlapping bookings, they insisted we pay the cancellation fee again, warning that our ranking would suffer if we didn't comply. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with VRBO recently? We haven't done anything wrong from our end and we're feeling physically stressed by the actions of VRBO's Billing Department.

VRBO ruined our vacation VRBO ruined our vacation! They are part of the same company we refuse to ever work with again which is Expedia. They will not advocate for your experience as a customer. Their business model is not to give a refund no matter what. Even when the host of the VRBO had a mattress that was made of coils and rocks. I recommend that you work with airbnb instead of VRBO.

Our shared ambition is simple SCREW YOU! Our shared ambition is simple: deliver better traveler experiences across the entire traveler journey and maintain trust in the Vrbo marketplace. To meet travelers’ expectations and help you deliver more value, we are modifying how we manage partner-initiated cancellations. Starting May 23, 2024, every avoidable cancellation will incur a 7-day temporary listing level suspension in addition to the cancellation fee. Temporary suspension will begin 10 days after the cancellation occurs if it is not waived by Vrbo. We know some cancellations are unavoidable. As a reminder, please submit a waiver request so you aren’t penalized for things out of your control, like when a pipe bursts, the power goes out, or someone can’t agree to your house rules. For more information about the waiver process, click here. Thank you for limiting your cancellations and taking care of travelers. EXPEDIA IS A PREDATORY COMPANY RUN BY GREEDY FOOLS WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT TYOU OR ME OR ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES.

Listing on VRBO used to be a very easy…. Not any more. Listing on VRBO used to be a very easy process. Now putting up a new listing is a nighmare. I have spent over an hour trying to put up a new listing and I keep getting this error message for over an hour: "Try refreshing the page. We're having trouble loading this. Wait a moment, then try again." I tried calling the customer service number at 8:40 am on a Tuesday morning and received a recorded message that their offices are closed and to call back later. This is horrific customer service and a terrible website. How can the website have issues at the very beginning of the listing process for over an hour. This is not the first time I've had problems trying to put up a listing.

Shambles of a company I am of disbelief that a company with such awful customer service and shoddy processes exist, 1 star is an extremely kind rating. Our booking which slept 12 people was double booked and we didn't find out until we were nearly at the property. We phoned the host who advised there was already a family in the property. After speaking with VRBO who offered no assistance, no support and had no empathy for the situation, 12 people were left with no where to go. We are still waiting on a refund from VRBO weeks later even though this wasn't our error and it quite frankly ruined a birthday weekend. If you want to be disappointed, disheartened and out of pocket then VRBO is the company for you.
