Hi,
is there a way to transfer OwnerRez reviews onto HomeAway/Vrbo Reviews?
Thanks, Claudia

Why would they let someone transfer non-OTA reviews to an OTA? That seems like it would be ripe for abuse

I don't think you can push offsite reviews to VRBO in bulk, but you can send the guest a link to review on VRBO. Send them a link like this:

https://www.vrbo.com/123456/reviews/write

Where 123456 is your listing number.

Does this format for this link still work?

I tried it for my listing and it says no such page exists?

Just curious working on my email templates.

Thanks!

No, unfortunately, this is old and no longer works -- Vrbo now automatically sends review requests themselves.
