VRBO Question

[Bill163]

Hello,   I am an experienced Host on both Airbnb and VRBO. One main difference between the two platforms was, with VRBO,  you could see the Guest's phone number when they inquired. This suddenly seems to not be the case and the phone number is hidden until the guest books. (Yes, it's always been this way on Airbnb). 

Have any VRBO Host's experienced this too? 

Thanks, 

Bill

@Bill163   Yes.  The OTAs are hiding most of the information about guests from the hosts.  We are lucky if we even get a first name to use in our reply to an inquiry.
