Google Vacation Rentals

What problem does Google Vacation Rentals solve?

Vacation rentals lack visibility at the moment a traveller searches a destination on Google, losing direct traffic to commission-charging OTAs.

What does Google Vacation Rentals do?

Google Vacation Rentals is a metasearch surface inside Google Search, Maps and Travel that shows short-term rental listings alongside hotels, letting travellers filter and click through to the property or its booking channel.

How does Google Vacation Rentals work?

Managers connect through a certified connectivity partner (a PMS or channel manager with the Google API) that syncs live rates, availability and content. Google ranks results on price, listing completeness, reviews and data reliability, and charges no commission on the booking.

Who is Google Vacation Rentals for?

Vacation rental managers and STR operators wanting incremental direct-booking traffic without OTA commission, reached through their existing PMS or channel manager.
