Vrbo, part of Expedia Group, does not allow disruptive and/or unauthorised events in connection with its platform. Vrbo is committed to facilitating travellers celebrating with their friends and loved ones by offering them the opportunity to travel better together and at the same time, discouraging disruptive and unauthorised events.

• Events may be deemed disruptive or unauthorised if:

  • They are a frequent occurrence at a property, are disruptive to the area and the partner has not taken action to mitigate;

  • They violate local public health limits on safe gathering size;

  • The partner did not know about in advance and did not give prior approval;

  • The traveller intentionally disguised, lied or falsified information provided to the partner;

  • The traveller posts open invitations for an event at the property, e.g., on social media;

  • The event exceeds occupancy of the property;

  • The event is otherwise categorised as unauthorised;

  • The event caused excessively loud noise, overcrowded streets and/or lewd behaviour;

  • The event is in violation of the partner’s house rules as posted on Vrbo during the traveller’s booking experience.

Travellers found in violation of this policy may have their account terminated and any associated reviews removed from the platform.

Vrbo will work with partners to educate them on the risks of disruptive and unauthorised events. If we determine that partners have offered, hosted or otherwise allowed travellers to host such events, they may be suspended or terminated.
