Airbnb Alternatives – Heard of Vrbo?
A rental brand similar to Airbnb and under the Expedia brand. With the ever-changing cleaning fees and lack of customer service with Airbnb some renters’ experience, we have decided to update our posts with some options.
So, What Sets Airbnb and Vrbo Apart?
While both online platforms for holiday rentals provide options for short and extended stays and each possesses its own advantages, there exist five notable distinctions between them.
• Vrbo primarily focuses on entire home rentals.
• Airbnb boasts a larger inventory of listings.
• Vrbo typically offers more competitive pricing.
• Airbnb promotes swift review submissions.
• Vrbo excels in customer service.
Check out their rentals here from their USA site, UK Site and Canada Site if you are visiting from any other country click on whichever currency you prefer. The US and Canada links, show prices in dollars and the UK will show prices in pounds but you will still see the same listings for rentals.

I’m a tourist coming into Spain for the first time and just hearing about the Airbnb stuff. I may not be a thrift spender but I love to enjoy luxury when I can. I’m definitely choosing a cool spot here and making my trip down count, please. I had no idea Malaga Airbnb were this beautiful!!! On the way back from Andalucia we are also looking for Airbnb near Malaga airport, can you recommend any good ones?
Bianca
Yep, you can vacation in Malaga with cool Airbnbs in Malaga that really make you question why you need to book a hotel.
Natalie
It never fails to amaze me how cheaply a super nice AirBnB Malaga room can be had. £32 a night for a little apartment with an entire kitchen and everything? Crazy. Don’t get me wrong, the more expensive rooms and hotels look super nice, but when you’re trying to save money… And heck, it’s not like you’re going to be spending a lot of time in your room anyway, right? It only makes sense to skimp on your accommodations (within reason) and spend your money on other things.
Bianca
Exactly, for a small amound of money you get to have apartments in Malaga near the beach too. If you are heading to Malaga Airbnb are definitely worth looking into.
Dylan
