You can view Vrbo guest reviews in your traveler profile; sign in, open Profile, and check your Reviews section on web or app.
Wondering where your host feedback lives? The traveler account includes a profile area that stores past stays, messages, and the ratings hosts gave you. Logging in on a phone or computer gives you a direct path to those notes so you can see how hosts viewed your stays and spot patterns you can improve next time.
Ways To View Your Vrbo Guest Reviews (Web And App)
Here’s the fast route on a computer: sign in, select your account avatar, choose Profile, then open the Reviews tab. On the mobile app, open the menu, tap your name, and look for Reviews. Your profile also holds trips and messages, so you can jump to context for each review if needed. Vrbo’s own account overview confirms that a traveler account lets you view booked trips, conversations, and past reviews. This lives inside your profile after you sign in. If you prefer the app, the guest app keeps all of this in one place.
A few extras help with orientation. Hosts can rate guests across categories like cleanliness, house rules, and communication, and those stars roll up into an average score. That score appears to hosts when you submit a booking request. It isn’t public on listing pages (guest ratings visibility), and other travelers can’t browse it. You—and the host—see the rating once reviews publish after the double-blind window closes.
| Item | Visible To | Where It Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Your average guest star rating | You and hosts | Your profile; host view in the booking conversation |
| Written comments about you | You and hosts | Your profile; host account after reviews publish |
| Property reviews by travelers | Everyone | Listing page under Reviews |
Step-By-Step On Desktop
- Open the Vrbo site and sign in with the email tied to your trips.
- Click your avatar or name in the top right.
- Select Profile.
- Choose the Reviews tab to see host feedback and any average stars tied to your stays.
- Drill into a past trip to open the message thread for context or to contact the host.
Tip: If you booked as a guest without creating an account at checkout, the platform prompts you to set one up. That link matches your reservation to your profile so your reviews appear under the right traveler identity.
Step-By-Step On The Guest App
- Open the app and log in.
- Tap the menu icon.
- Tap your name to open your profile.
- Find Reviews. If you don’t see it, pull to refresh, then return to your profile screen.
- Tap any stay to see messages or details that help explain a review.
The guest app mirrors the website and is the fastest way to check feedback while you’re on the road.
How The Two-Way Review Window Works
Vrbo runs a two-party system. After checkout, both sides have a limited review window. Once both submit—or the window ends—the reviews publish. During the blind period, neither side can read the other’s text. After the reviews go live, your profile will show your average stars and the host’s comments if they left any. If you didn’t receive a write-up, you may still see a star count.
Time matters here. If one side posts, the other has fourteen days to respond. Edit requests are not a thing after you send a review. Removal can be requested through support when something breaks policy.
What Your Rating Means To Future Stays
Hosts see your average when you request a booking. That snapshot can help them approve requests faster when the pattern shows clear communication and tidy stays. If the stars are mixed, you still have ways to build trust, like a short message that sets expectations, a verified ID, and complete trip details. Clear, polite notes in the thread often set the tone for a smooth handoff.
Make Sure Your Reviews Appear
If you can’t find your feedback, run through this quick list. Start with sign-in details. Use the same email address you used to book. Next, check that the stay is tied to My Trips. If the reservation sits under an old account or a spouse’s email, the review will sit there too. Finally, confirm that the review window ended; text won’t display until the blind period closes.
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fast Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No reviews visible | Blind window still active | Wait until both sides post or the two-week timer ends |
| Only some trips show | Booked with a different email | Sign in with the original email or merge accounts with support |
| Stars show, no comments | Host rated but didn’t write text | Open the trip thread for context; you can still reply with your own host review |
What Hosts See From Their Side
Owners rate guests from inside their dashboards. When you send a booking request, any past average stars appear to the host inside the conversation thread. Hosts can also open a central Reviews page to rate completed stays. This setup gives owners a quick way to judge fit while keeping traveler ratings out of public listing pages.
How To Nudge A Better Score Next Time
Small habits lead to strong notes from hosts. Message promptly before check-in. Confirm arrival time and any pets. Read the house rules and ask short, clear questions. During the stay, treat the place like a friend’s home. Before checkout, send a quick heads-up when you leave and snap a photo after you tidy the kitchen and trash. These touches land inside the host’s memory when they fill out the rating form.
Communication That Works
- Respond within a few hours during trip planning.
- Share guest count and purpose of travel in one short line.
- Keep requests precise: “Late checkout at 11:30 a.m. possible?”
- Use the app for message history so both of you have a record.
Care For The Space
- Follow parking and pet notes exactly.
- Run the dishwasher, bag trash, and lock up when you leave.
- Report wear-and-tear early rather than hiding it.
Privacy And Visibility Basics
Your average is not posted on public listing pages. Hosts can see it, and you can see it. Other travelers can’t. The average is tied to the account identity, so shared logins can blur the picture. If you often book for a group, stick to one traveler profile. The messaging system keeps a record of agreements, so keep key points inside the platform rather than in private texts.
When Something Looks Off
If a comment or star count violates platform rules, you can ask customer service to review. Keep your request factual and short. Link the trip, copy the sentence that breaks policy, and ask for a review by the support team. If the issue stems from a misunderstanding, a calm message to the host inside the thread can sometimes lead to an edit on their side in a future booking.
Quick Clarifications For Travelers
Can I See My Score Before Reviews Publish?
No. During the blind period the system hides content from both sides until the window closes or both parties submit.
Do Other Travelers See My Average?
No. Only you and hosts have access to your rating. Listing pages won’t show it.
Can I Respond To A Host’s Comment About Me?
You can’t attach a public reply to a traveler review. You can message the host, and you can always leave a property review for your stay.
Pro Tips For Keeping A Clean Record
Book with clear plans. Share arrival details, car count, and any special needs at the start. Read the checkout card before the last morning, not ten minutes before you leave. Leave the place orderly, then send a thank-you note in the thread. Many owners remember thoughtful guests and say so in ratings.
Checklist Before Contacting Support
Run through this short checklist before you reach out. You’ll often fix the issue in a minute or two.
- You’re signed in with the same email used at booking.
- Your trip shows under My Trips with the correct dates.
- The double-blind window passed; give it up to two weeks.
- You looked in Profile → Reviews on the web and in the app.
- Nothing in the host’s note breaches content rules; if it does, share the exact line with the agent.
If policy is the issue, point the agent to the platform’s review guidelines. Keep your message short and factual with links to the reservation and message thread.
For fastest handling, open the trip in My Trips, copy the reservation code, and include the timestamp of the message that explains the dispute. That gives the agent all the context in one go.
After You Read Your Rating
Take a moment to scan patterns across stays. If hosts praise communication, keep that pace. If cleanliness lost a star once, adjust your checkout routine: start dishes sooner, double-bag trash, and reset the thermostat. When a note mentions a rule mix-up, save a checklist in your phone for parking, pets, and quiet hours. Small tweaks raise confidence with owners and help your next request land.
Where Official Guidance Lives
For the platform’s wording on who sees ratings, check the help article that outlines guest rating visibility. The account overview explains that traveler accounts include access to past reviews. The guest app page confirms the app keeps your trip info and messages in one place, which makes it easier to find context when you read feedback. That keeps clarity.
