As some of you may know, most of our listings appear on AirBNB and VRBO for those owners who wish to have their properties marketed on those platforms at no additional charge to your commission structure with PVRPV. We manage those bookings internally with a dedicated team to communicate, coordinate and initiate all contact with potential guests. The listings appear on those sites via a background platform created by those sites with a configuration made by our web team.
Over the last month or so, some owners have noted that their properties were not appearing specifically on AirBNB. We are aware of the issue and are working tirelessly on solutions with AirBNB. The issue is that they, like most websites are constantly making changes to their platform. These updates cause some of our listings not to appear based on new criterias in the coding. AirBNB has promised a solution for this issue and our web development team is working with them on an ongoing basis to remedy the communication errors between our site and their platform.
This situation is NOT unique to PVRPV.
In fact, these changes that AirBNB are making is impacting ALL websites and short term vacation rental companies with a background platform or link to their site.
At this point, we are told, that these issues, updates and changes are in the final stages of completion and should be fully remedied in the near future.
