The key takeaways are that Airbnb and VRBO are online marketplaces for listing and booking short-term vacation rentals. Airbnb focuses more on homestays while VRBO focuses more on entire properties. Both platforms charge various fees to hosts and guests such as cleaning fees, service fees, taxes and deposits.

Airbnb is an online marketplace for lodging, primarily homestays, while VRBO is an online accommodation brokerage platform that matches people looking for vacation rentals with property hosts/managers who have a suitable offering.

Common fees include cleaning fees, host fees, management fees, resolution adjustments, commission fees, processing fees, taxes and security deposits. Each fee serves a different purpose in covering costs for hosts and platforms.
