What are your favorite alternative booking platforms?

This has been talked about a couple times in different posts but I wanted to see if we can get some more answers from different people. BESIDES Airbnb and VRBO, what are some booking platforms you've liked and/or had success with? 

We recently listed on Booking.com and have had great success so far. 26% of our reservations in the last 2 months have been from Booking.com. So far the guests have been a little more needy than Airbnb, but that's about it. And we just got our first international booking which is exciting. 

I'm sure many of the alternative platforms are niche or market dependent but what are your experiences?

Chanel manager with calendar synced up. I use Guesty For Hosts that syncs our calendar across airbnb, vrbo and booking.com.

@Ryan Moyer

No issues so far, but we’ve only been using it for a few months so we’ll see. It’s a little more work because you have to remit lodging taxes, but other than that we haven’t had any problems.
