Vacation Rentals Owner App App Reviews

The Flipkey app through trip advisor is fantastic they have thought of everything! It is very easy to set up and use. My clients also find it easy to find and book their vacation spot.

The app has worked flawless so far, no bugs or issues. Also it is the most functional amongst other owner apps like Airbnb and VRBO. You can edit the listing, adjust seasonal pricing, send quotes and complete the booking

The new app is a major improvement over the slow and clunky old FlipKey app. Job well done, TripAdvisor!

Worst user experience. Prob the worst app Ive ever used. Took me 10 min to figure out total on the reservation made. These idiots have never seen the Airbnb app or site. Text is scrolling off the page; none of the features in the photo section work; no dragging, editing, changing cover photo. Im removing my listing because of how pathetic the app & site are. Wake up you immature, feeling entitled developers.

As a brand I love TripAdvisor, but this release is so incredibly bad that I have major doubts about the model if using the TA brand in tandem with vacation rentals. I should say I was already unimpressed with FlipKey, but I had assumed that it was acquired by TA and therefore legacy as far as development and code. This new app is astonishing in its tone deafness to the sharing economy and what short term rental owners are used to from AirBNB and competitive interfaces. The design and typography are extremely hard to read and tiny. The interface looks like it was put together by a coder without the very least amount of design. It has so few valuable features that it makes me wish I had my old FlipKey back just because at the tie of its release at least they tried to provide something. Summarily across the board this app is an insult to the people who align with TA to leverage the TA brand with their properties. I will wait about three months and if this app is not improved I plan to remove my listing from TA all together and stick with AirBNB who knows how to design for the customer and outs user experience first. This was a sad and complete mis-step for TripAdvisor.

It would be nice if I could actually use the app. It opens to a login page with nowhere to sign up if you dont have an account already. Im not going to take the time to create an account in my browser when it should clearly be an option within the app. Good luck with this one.

If this was April fools day I would be impressed that someone would got to such effort to create joke software.

Dont bother! The hidden fees are awful. Customer service is outsourced. Charge guest to cancel.

Dear TripAdvisor: Please integrate users of VacationHomeRentals.com (VHR) into this app! VHR is very behind the times in its mobility technology, and since you are now branding yourself "Trip Advisor Vacation Rentals," you should offer one app for users of both FlipKey and VHR. Havine one mobile app for owners to connect with travelers would be the most transparent and integrated/streamlined approach if you are serious about building your "Trip Advisor Vacation Rentals" brand.

Not very user friendly. Im trying to set up a username/password and got stuck at the sign-in page with nowhere to go!!

Quote button doesnt work reply doesnt work. Flipkey went from bad to worst.

I currently have listing on this site and Airbnb, and the difference with both applications is astounding. Its always crashing, or freezing. You cant update your listing and consolidate calendars. Im not sure why this takes so much money from my listing, they arent applying it to make this application any better.

If you have a previous version, DO NOT Upgrade to this one!! I recently updated the app and what a mistake that was. The app is now constantly refreshing/updating itself every time I try to do anything. Or when I switch between this and other apps. Often when responding to inquiries I switch between this app and others to copy and paste info and now when I do that it resets itself and does not save what I had just written. The interface hasnt changed much from previous version, but at least before it didnt freeze and constantly refresh. Horrible update. #Tripadvisor, hope youre reading this and fix the bugs soon. PLEASE! (using on iPhone 6s-64GB, iOS 9.2)

I dont know why this app wont sync with all my other calendars? Makes me take double bookings by accident

I love this app, havent had any issues booking, getting messages and keeping up with calendars for my properties, have had a 30% increase in bookings due to the timely response rate I can give clients and I can make quick changes to my listings anytime I want...Really easy to use, really awesome job, dont change anything

This app is poorly designed and has obviusly been rushed through production. The User Interface is at best average but its the small bugs that get to you. For instance when trying to change the status of a date in the calendar, pressing in it makes the app think you want to make a phone call. Use Airbnb if you want a better app.

Very helpful. Thanks

Calendar no longer works for owners w latest update - instead of letting you choose which dates to edit/block, it now asks you if you want to "dial the number"... SO LAME!!!

For such a big company, their app is buggy and lots of lag. theres been many times it crashes and I have no idea if its sent the message/actually accepted the request.

We are so thankful for this app which allows us to book our cabins on the go. We can reply to our guest who inquire quickly which is part of our customer service. Thank you for creating this and making it available to us!
