We are committed to offering a private experience for guests. As such, our platform does not support shared space short term rentals. A shared space, or hosted listing, is a listing where the guest might share areas inside the property with the host or other guests not in their group. For example, we do not support dormitories or homestays. Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs), however, are permitted but may be subject to review.

Requirements:

  • Properties listed on Vrbo must include a secured entry to the guest’s rental space that must not be accessed through the host’s living space. This entry must also have a lock controlled solely by the guest (such as a deadbolt) to control access to the unit.
  • External shared spaces must be disclosed, but as they’re not living spaces (aka optional spaces such as laundry) they can be shared. 

Exclusions:

  • Non-private living spaces (including bathrooms and kitchens) are not considered a shared space if that is the norm of the property type, such as micro-studios that share a common bathroom.
  • Contact outside of the listed rental space does not qualify as a shared space (community pools, recreation areas, hallways leading to the rental space, etc.)

Please contact us if you are unsure whether your listing is suitable for display on our platform.
