How many hotels does Vrbo sell?

On 17 September 2026, Vrbo had a current price for 369 hotels of the 8,198 hotels priced across the tracked cities — 5% of the market — in 12 cities.

Is Vrbo usually the cheapest site?

Vrbo had the lowest price in 10% of the 697 contests it took part in on 17 September 2026 — stays that at least one other site quoted too. With 697 contests it is not yet ranked: a place in the league needs 200 contests and 5% of the hotels.

Is Vrbo cheaper than the other booking sites?

Vrbo's price typically sits within 1% of the median site quoting the same stay — it is the market, neither a discounter nor a premium. That is the median over 697 contests: half the time the gap was smaller, half the time larger, and the per-hotel board on each page shows the actual one.

Where is Vrbo the cheapest most often?

Prague: Vrbo had the lowest price in 14% of its 250 contests there. No other city has enough contests to compare.

What do these percentages measure?

Every figure here comes from stays at least two sites priced on the same day: how often Vrbo had the lowest price (ties count), and how far its price sat from the median site, taken as the median over all its contests. A site with fewer than 200 contests or under 5% of the hotels is left out of the ranking — one lucky week is not a track record.

When were these prices last checked?

The figures on this page come from the collection run of 17 September 2026; the most recent check of any hotel was on 17 September 2026. A price is what the site quoted at that moment, and it can move before you get there — the seller's page has the final say.

Can I book through StayScope?

No — StayScope compares, it does not sell. Each offer is a link to the seller that quoted it; the reservation, the payment and the cancellation terms are the seller's.
