Stay with Air/VRBO or add others?
In our first year of STR's and have just used Air and VRBO...wanted to keep things simple, avoid double bookings, and just plain learn the business.
I'm considering adding Bookins.com and/or Trip Advisor.....Any reason I should? Or just stay with what I got?
PS - We are booked pretty fully most months......

My wife and I both have experiences with booking.com (her managing several hotels and I had used it working for a hostel) and we avoid it like the plague. They take a % and if anything goes wrong you are on your own. At least with airbnb and vrbo you can get someone on the phone. Booking.com is straight trash.
