How to Add Links to Your VRBO.com Listing

Info about VRBO.com's linking policy.
 

Vacation Rentals by Owner (VRBO.com) is happy to link to approved web sites that provide more detailed information about your property. Each VRBO listing can have up to two approved URL links. There is no additional cost for URL link, but all links must be approved by the webmaster.

You may want include links to one or two other web pages or sites (2 links is the maximum). These should be web sites that provide additional information regarding your location, region or area OR a personal web site which more completely describes your property (links to commercial web sites that compete with VRBO.com or to sites that advertise multiple other properties/accommodations or to sites that do not support our frame are provided on a reciprocal link basis only).

All links are subject to review. VRBO.com is a family oriented business, as such, all links must be appropriate for family viewing. Any links which we deem to be inappropriate will not be allowed. Since the contents of a linked page may change after a link is made, VRBO.com reserves the right to remove links at it's sole discretion.”

So, as long as your website supports our frame, does not advertise multiple rental accommodations (up to 2 accommodations per 1 active VRBO.com listing), does not link to another commercial vacation rental website, and contains family friendly information, we would approve a link to the site on your VRBO.com listing.

Otherwise, the only way we can allow the link is if you are willing to put a reciprocal link back to VRBO.com on the page of your site that gives more information and photos about the property that is advertised on the VRBO.com listing (unless we have declined the link for inappropriate content). The reciprocal link can be either to your listing on our website, or to our home page and must contain "VRBO" or "Vacation Rentals by Owner" in the link title or description.

To submit new or corrected URL links for review, please log into your VRBO.com account at https://admin.vrbo.com/admin. From your account administration page, click to edit the listing. You may submit your link request on your listing's "Desc & Links" administration page.

Virtual Tours
VRBO will link to virtual tours, as long as they meet our criteria: they must support our frame, must not link to any other vacation rental website, and must not advertise multiple properties. VRBO.com does not host virtual tours; you will have to contact a virtual tour company to create the tour of your property. When it is ready for review, please log into your VRBO.com account at https://admin.vrbo.com/admin. From your account administration page, click to edit the listing. You may submit your link request on your listing's "Desc & Links" administration page.

The photos contained in the virtual tour do not "count" as photos published to your listing. So, we always recommend adding photos to your VRBO.com listing, even if they are the same as the ones
contained in your virtual tour.

Here are some links that you may find helpful in setting up a virtual tour:
