Vrbo supports manually adding reservations requested outside of their platform to the Vrbo calendar to facilitate the processing of their payments via Vrbo. However, some restrictions apply, which means Hospitable is not able to guarantee full support for such reservations.
Manually created reservations on Vrbo are not similar to reservations that are booked by a guest through the Vrbo website. What this means for us is that the data they share through their API from the manual booking is not as complete as it is for Vrbo-generated reservations.
This can sometimes lead to unexpected results, such as reservation updates not reflecting on our product. If that is the case, we recommend that you reach out to our support team directly, and share with us the confirmation code for this reservation (typically starting with HA-)
Alternatively, we suggest adding manual reservations directly through Hospitable.
