Vrbo hosts won’t have a verified badge that renters can see. Vrbo claims it verifies owners, but you should always do your homework, just in case. Check out the host’s reviews. If the review history is suspiciously short, or if there’s an alarming number of negative reviews, it’s probably best to pick a different rental. On the other hand, Vrbo guests can be verified. Vrbo gives this badge to renters who provide proof of their physical address, date of birth, or other personal information.
