  Hi @ann-karako Thanks for reaching out about this. There currently is no way to tell when an Airbnb guest is bringing a pet. The best thing to do for now would be to ask guests whether they intend on bringing a pet. Unfortunately Airbnb does not support pet fees at this time. Airbnb provides the following article about allowing pets: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/1869/what-is-an-assistance-animal

  Solved Airbnb Local Taxes

  I believe I figured it out. I entered the state tax and Gatlinburg Accommodation Tax as separate fees under MyVR "Property" edit "Rental Fees." I left the state tax as a "tax" under Fee Type. I entered the Gatlinburg Accommodation Tax as "Other" under Fee Type. On the MyVR Airbnb integrated channel, I set "Include Taxes" to "No". The Gatlinburg Accommodation Tax is Supported and Synced as an "Other" Fee. . If Airbnb decides to collect the Gatlinburg Accommodation Tax, I'll change the "Fee Type" back to tax. By taking these steps, Airbnb guests are not overcharged with double taxes. And, it doesn't affect inquiries or bookings from other listing sites.

  @wendy-gold - I work around that another way by just saying "The best available total for your stay is attached." or "The best available total for your stay is $X.XX (MY PRICE). This does not include any service fees added by the listing site you are using for your search. " I found with so many properties, I can't log into VRBO dashboard for every quote to see what the service fee will be. - Jenny

  Hi @Chad-Service, Those are great questions! You can choose the HomeAway cancellation/refund policy in the booking policy editor under the the "Channel Overrides" section. If you do not specify a HomeAway refund policy then your HomeAway listings will default to a "No Refunds" policy. Any refunds due to a HomeAway guest after a cancellation must be issued manually from your MyVR account. Best, Jesse

  Hi @michelle-clark, HomeAway will recognize the response time, Chad is correct. When you respond, your response is "forwarded" to HomeAway.

  Yea, it looks like several of them were set up as Other; however, several were also set up correctly. I guess I'll wait for my next Airbnb. Bosses will be excited about this as Airbnb has been good to us. Thanks for all your help.

  Hi @michelle-clark, Thank you for reaching out. As long as you are using the full Airbnb integration, you can manage the reservation entirely from MyVR. You won't need to go to your Airbnb account to accept/decline.

  I just wanted to bump this thread and say that Airbnb just released support for per stay fees and we've implemented that new functionality. There are no steps needed on your part to include those per stay fees as they'll get picked up when Airbnb pulls your listing next.

  Hi @tom-chesky, Thank you for your inquiry. The address can't be updated on HomeAway however if there is a specific map change that needs to take place, we can request those on your behalf as long as you are using the HomeAway for owners offering. For reference, those users on the HomeAway for property managers offering will need to contact PM support at HomeAway. If you update your rates, the rates will be updated on all channels and the sync frequency is slightly different for each channel. For HomeAway, they are updated nightly. Booking.com and FlipKey are updated real time, and Airbnb is updated hourly.

  Hi @darrell-looney112 , By default HomeAway's listing subscriptions auto renew. If for some reason payment for the listing failed, the listing would become inactive. There are currently no options for using the pay per booking type listings with the HomeAway for owners offering.

  @danny-eiden It appears that this issue has somehow been resolved and VRBO listing is showing the "Private Pool" tag on my listing. If this was done on MyVR's part...Thank You!!! John

  @jenny-oest I've just started working with BeyondPricing in myVR (although I've used it separately with AirBNB for a couple of years). I can't seem to find the section where you can specify a discount for 7 and 28 day stays in BeyondPricing: Would you be able to point me to the correct spot? Thanks!

  @Dave-Both - whether they do or not, I always prefer to send my request directly as part of my post-stay process. I get far more responses than they do, and I usually know in advance what they are going to say - often because I give it to them (re-feeding their own comments to me) in a format to just cut and paste You can set up your own automated email with the review link using a Stay email.

  Yes, rates entered in Booking.com should be overridden by MyVR rates. The syncing only occurs in one direction for rate data: from MyVR to Booking.com

  Hi @Chad-Service, @Jenny-Oest is correct; there is currently no way to set a booking window for integrated listing sites. That would, however, make a great feature request. Cheers, Danny
