Review intelligence
High confidenceUsers report frequent issues with customer service, app glitches, and inaccurate property listings, though some praise the properties themselves.
This was the perfect place for us to stay . It was so cute and in a great location! Everything was clean and plentiful! We would definitely reach out again if in the area❤️❤️
I will never use VRBO again. Drove 5 hours to stay in a hotel THEY overbooked. All hotels in the area are booked so we drove back home. Customer service is a joke. No one speaks English or is helpful. I will never book through VRBO again.

Questions this record can answer
How was every figure on this page produced?
Each figure is read from public App Store metadata or computed from it, dated to when we read it, and traceable to a stored row. Percentiles, cadence, longevity and sentiment are derived by us; ratings, prices, sizes and dates are taken as the store reports them.
Why can the star average and recent opinion disagree?
The star average is cumulative over the app’s whole life, so recent opinion barely moves it. Any sentiment figure we compute reads only recent review text, which is why it turns first. Treat a divergence as an early indicator, not a verdict.
What can this page not tell you?
Downloads, revenue, active users, subscription pricing inside the app, and anything about security or data handling. None of those are visible in public store metadata, so we do not estimate them.
