The benefits:

  • Stand out in searches: with an exclusive badge on your property, travellers will know they can expect a great stay.
  • Reach more travellers: As a top performer, these hosts are eligible to be featured in traveller emails, videos, our television show, social channels and more.
  • Get exclusive access: As a Premier Host, you’ll receive priority customer support and access to beta versions of new tools so that you can help guide the future of our marketplace.
  • Communicate with travellers pre-booking: Since you process your bookings through Vrbo, we will provide you with more ways to communicate with travellers before they book with you. 

Among other factors, Premier Hosts have the following qualities in common: 

Their guests have great traveller experiences and it shows. Exceptional owners and property managers offer clear expectations, provide unique experiences - and travellers respond with great feedback and reviews.

They provide quick responses to inquiries and booking requests, process all bookings through Vrbo checkout, follow through with bookings and avoid cancelling on guests. These things assure timely, secure and reliable bookings - getting the traveller experience off to a great start.

Travellers are attracted to their properties because they include high-quality photos and descriptions of the incredible stays their guests will have. By maintaining detailed and accurate content along with listing amenities, travellers know what to expect when booking with those properties! And part of attracting travellers includes rates that are competitive, priced right for the market and priced right for the property.

The Premier Host Program recognises owners and managers who consistently deliver outstanding traveler experiences and the Premier Host badge shows travellers that they can expect a great stay at your property. Let’s check out the benefits of the badge.
