AirBNB vs VRBO performance

[Khaled El Dorry]

Hello - I purchased my first STR in Severville and listed both of them on Airbnb and VRBO. It was listed for May 5 as the first day of availability. May has been slow but June has 25 days booked and July is at about 50% booked. My question/concern is - Everyone I talk to prefers VRBO over Airbnb because Airbnb tends to be very super guest bias/friendly however all my bookings except for 1 came from Airbnb. I pretty much have the same photos, pricing, descriptions, etc... on both platforms. I found VRBO to be really silly to interface with Beyond Pricing and Lodgify so that may be my issue but looking for guidance to see how can I boost my VRBO performance as it looks dead right now compared to AirBnB.

Thank you

@Nathan Gesner 99% of the time we have a problem guest.. it turns out to be an AirBnB guest ..without fail.  Fortunately they only make up about 10% of my bookings.
